shrikantji: I searched on the internet. the flower of Parkinsonia aculeata is very different from the flowers I have seen seen on this babool. The link to flowers is: https://mail.google.com/mail/?hl=en&tab=wm#search/acacia+nilotica/12aa31cc08713a03 So the problem remains. am I right in my identification of the tree? Even Mahadeshwar thinks otherwise. Thanks ak
