I would like to know the correct name of Vanni/ Banni tree which is considered as one of the “star trees”. I have come across various names including Prosopis cineraria, Prosopis spicigera, Acaia ferruginea etc. and am quite confused!
Banni as such refers to Khejri, Prosopis cineraria. This species is typical of the Thar landscape and is a popular choice for fodder and its pods are consumed by humans when dry. (a part of Panchkuta). Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druceis the valid name. (P. spicigera is synonym), In Tamil It is called Vanni, whereas in Kannada it is called Banni. Khejri Tree • Gujarati: Semi • Hindi: Jand जंड, Khejri खेजड़ी Khejri • Kannada: Perumbai • Marathi: शेमी Shemi • Oriya: Shami • Tamil: parambai, Vanni • Telugu: జమ్మీ చెట్టు Jammi chettu There is always a confusion as to which of the trees Acacia ferruginea or Prosopis cineraria is Banni. In Karnataka especially in Mysore the tree which is worshiped as Banni mara or Shami vruksha is Acacia ferruginea and during Dasara Maharaja worships the same tree and at the end of the Dasara procession he cuts a small branch. More over, I have seen these trees planted in many temples and they also call it as Banni mara. Here, in Karnataka one which is worshipped as one of the ‘star trees’ is Acacia ferruginea. Hence for me there is no doubt that Banni is Acacia ferruginea. In Tamil Nadu many people call Prosopis cineraria as Vanni. In Kannada it is known as Perumbai. It is the state tree of Rajasthan. Acaia feruuginea, Kaigar Khair is I believe not really an Indian species I believe, even if found all over the subcontinent in the drier areas. Thank you, …, for the clarification. The book ” Stars and Trees, Trees of the Nakshatravanam” brought out by Thenmala Ecotourism Society and TBGRI, gives the name as Prosopis cineraria. Thanks for the message. For me it is always Acacia ferruginea. The information is useful because now I know that the seeds I got from a tree said to be Banni must be A.ferruginea.
. Acacia ferruginea – Rusty Acacia Tree – Vanni – in full bloom in lalbagh very beautiful: I could not attach the image as it keeps removing after posting.
here is the link Shami vruksha or Banni mara in Kannada. I thought vanni is same as banni – i will change it to banni only

Please help me identifying the attached plant.
This was seen in a revenue waste land at Danayanicheruvu (14.075876, 78.340166) near Kadiri in Anantapur district.
I have attached pictures of leaves, pod, thorn etc.
Please let me know if some of you need more information. Pl. check /species/a—l/f/fabaceae/acacia In absence of the specific inflorescence/infructescence pattern, the tentative identification is Senegalia ferruginea (DC.) Pedley [= Acacia ferrruginea DC. (1825), Mimosa ferruginea Roxb. (1832)].

Please help ID this armed Mimosaceae tree found in a private property. Could this be Prosopis cinerea?
Height: 10 m tall
Habitat: urban garden
Altitude: 25 m asl
Location: Chennai, TN
Date: 26 Oct 2017 Please check for Acacia ferruginea. Need to check other characters as well for confirmation. Flowers would have helped.
In future, pl. post at least 800 by 600 pixel images (as per posting guidelines) to see any details otherwise lot of time is wasted without reaching to any conclusion.
After spending lot of time on these small images, I feel these may be closer to Senegalia ferruginea as stated by …
I am attaching the original pictures for your kind perusal. Apologies for the much reduced images on the group. Thank you. Please check this link as well:

MS/April/2020/9 ID of the tree. : 5 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) Could this be a species of Prosopis. No, does not look like any Prosopis as per comparative images herein. May be something like Senegalia ferruginea (DC.) Pedley as per images and details herein.
Thanks … I checked it further. It is not a tree but a bush. Later I checked with my collections of Acacias’ leaf characteristics. It tallies with Vachellia farnesiana, also known as Acacia farnesiana, and previously Mimosa farnesiana, commonly known as sweet acacia, huisache. ID character is the needle like ends of the leafy branch (another name needle bush for this reason) . . Tree ID please: 3 images.
Found this tree in a hillock near Vellore, TN taken in the month of Jan. Does the plant have spiny sir? If not check with Albizia thompsonii, I think it is a Senegalia species, maybe Senegalia ferruginea (DC.) Pedley Seems you’re right If the fruits are arranged in spikes, then yes, Senegalia ferruginea.
Pl. validate the id of Acacia mellifera?
Location: NBNP Garden, Date: August, 2011
Habitat: Garden
Habit: Tree Leaves shape and their arrangement do not support the ID. Can you send close ups of leaves or recheck the characters I think Senegalia ferruginea (DC.) Pedley is possible.
   Acacia sp.: 3 high res. images. Found this small tree in hillock near Poottu thakku near Vellore TN in the month of July. Pl. check Mimosaceae members. Pictures showing the plant parts clearly will be helpful to ID the tree. Might be Acacia pennata Images are not clear.
But there is possibility of Senegalia ferruginea or Senegalia chundra (Roxb. ex Rottler) Maslin as per comparative images at Senegalia Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. ???
Yes it is Senegala ferruinea (= Acacia ferruginea), planted by the forest department in the foot hill areas, it is fast growing, drought resistant tree, some people misidentified it as Prosopis cineraria and planted in the temple.
