The plant which I am posting is unidentified. One fine evening I was returing home from lab and I saw a bunch of white flowers over a bush in one of my neighbours house here in Vancouver.The flowers were about 0.5cm across. It had just stopped raining and the glistering drop of water on the flowers were sparkling like pearls. I wanted to capture the moment but alas I had only my Sony Cybershot point and shoot camera in my bag I took out the camera with fear that I won't be able to capture the moment with this machine in my hand.

After seeing a bunch of people posting some lovely photographs of plant for 2012 photo of the year I made up my mind at last to post a photograph. I am not at all sure wether my picture is good enough to be posted for the occasion. I have literally no skills is photography as many of our members do. I use very simple cameras to take photos. The plant which I am posting is unidentified. One fine evening I was returing home from lab and I saw a bunch of white flowers over a bush in one of my neighbours house here in Vancouver.The flowers were about 0.5cm across. It had just stopped raining and the glistering drop of water on the flowers were sparkling like pearls. I wanted to capture the moment but alas I had only my Sony Cybershot point and shoot camera in my bag I took out the camera with fear that I won't be able to capture the moment with this machine in my hand. At last I took a bunch of photos one came out kind of good which I am sharing out here. I am not sure how the members will react but I apologize for it.

In such cases, if you do not have pictures of leaves with you, you may need to wait. Please check whether the bark is red when you make a cut.

Lindl. To: efloraofindia Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl. Trans. Linn. Soc. London 13: 102. 1821. Basionym: Mespilus japonica Thunb. Syst. Veg., ed. 14 (J. A. Murray). 466. 1784. Family: Rosaceae These fruits were seen on the bank of river ganges at Haridwar. Usually people there have this tendency of attaching the fruit name with the mythological god or goddess and they called it Ramphal. But I assume in both hindi and english this is called as Loquat but not sure. It is very sweet and tasty to eat. I was also tempted to share this ancient chinese painting of the same plant from Wikipedia. Uses (Wikipedia): The loquat is comparable with its distant relative, the apple, in many aspects, with a high sugar, acid and pectin content. It is eaten as a fresh fruit and mixes well with other fruits in fresh fruit salads or fruit cups. Firm, slightly immature fruits are best for making pies or tarts. The fruits are also commonly used to make jam, jelly, and chutney, and are often served poached in light syrup. Loquat syrup is used in Chinese medicine for soothing the throat like a cough drop. The leaves, combined with other ingredients and known as pipa gao (枇杷膏; pinyin: pípágāo; literally loquat paste), it acts as a demulcent and an expectorant, as well as to soothe the digestive and respiratory systems. Loquats can also be used to make light wine. Like most related plants, the seeds (pips) and young leaves of the plant are slightly poisonous, containing small amounts of cyanogenic glycosides (including amygdalin) which release cyanide when digested, though the low concentration and bitter flavour normally prevents enough being eaten to cause harm. In Japan, it is eaten fresh or sometimes canned because the flesh is sweet. However, the waste ratio is 30% or more, due to the size of the seed. Among other things, it is processed to confectionery including jellies and the jam. Eaten in quantity, loquats have a gentle but noticeable sedative effect, with effects lasting up to 24 hours. It is also fermented into a fruit wine, sometimes using just the crystal sugar and white liquor. Lemon or lemon zest is often paired with the wine because the fruit has very low acidity. Aficionados also enjoy a sake made exclusively from the seed, which has an aroma much like apricot kernel. Due to the presence of cyanogenic glycosides, bulk consumption may pose a risk of cyanide poisonings. Common names: The name loquat derives from lou4 gwat1, the Cantonese pronunciation of its old classical Chinese name (simplified Chinese: 芦橘; traditional Chinese: 蘆橘; pinyin: lújú, literally reed orange). In modern Chinese, it is more commonly known as pipa (Chinese: 枇杷; pinyin: pípá), from the resemblance of its shape to that of the Chinese musical instrument pipa (琵琶).
Re: [efloraofindia:104175] Chamba tree for id - Albizia julibrissin...??
I too think that this may not be *A. julibrissin* because the stamens looks like greenish white. In, A. julibrissin, the stamens are purplish in color. http://www.duke.edu/~cwcook/trees/alju.html It would be *A. chinensis, *as Gurcharan ji suggested.
