Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib a-KAY-see-uh or uh-KAY-shuh — from the Greek akis, meaning point, barb, thorny, spiny
TOR-tuh — twisted Mar 5, 2011 … somewhere along Kumbharli Ghat, Maharashtra This fruit is of Shikakai (A. sinuata ) and not of A. torta (Chillari or Chillar), A. torta pods are flat.. Looking at the flowers I have a feeling that all your photographs except first one belong to A. torta
The first photograph clearly looks like belonging to A. concinna (Willd.) DC. (syn: A. sinuata (Lour.) Merrill.
Could you kindly confirm whether all these photographs belong to the same individual, or taken fro different individuals at different times. The numbering seems to support these being taken at different times. Yes … Only the first one does not belong to A. torta (earnest thanks to … for pointing my mistaken ID) … sighted on Mar 5, 2011 … somewhere along Kumbharli Ghat.
All the rest are sighted on Feb 19, 2011 … at Matheran, Maharashtra, and for sure A. torta Did not dare to elaborate it to avoid adding to confusion.

Thanks for the id. I understand from the net that Mimosa intsia is a synonym of Acacia torta. If so, are there two varieties: one with white flowers and the other with pink flowers? I agree with … id.
Yes …, Acacia torta has two forms as mentioned by you. . Main Difference between : 3 posts by 3 authors.
Tell me the difference between the Acacia Pennata and Acacia Torta ^ Thorns straight; rachis glandular between 4 uppermost pinnae…….A. torta
^ Thorns recurved; rachis glandular between 2 uppermost pinnae…..A. pennata

Thanks, … But the following did not give any differences based on the thorns.
Flora of Pakistan
Pl. clarify. The best way to distinguish Senegalia caesia (including S. torta) from S. pennata is that, in S. caesia and S. torta the main vein of leaflets are starting centrally or subcentrally from the base whereas in S.pennata they are starting marginally from the base.
ID plzz??is it Albizia chinensis??no inflorecence fruit is present, from lahore Pakistan : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5) I think it’s better to wait for flowers.
However, check with Albizia chinensis (Osbeck) Merr.
I don’t think this is Albizia chinensis. OK Thanks mam, then any idea about its species? You have to search in Acacia, to be more precise, Senegalia rather than Albizia. Flowers or fruits are required for confirmation. Thanks, …, fro genus id.
Appears close to images of Senegalia torta (Roxb.) Maslin, Seigler & Ebinger as per comparative images of Senegalia species in efi. Yes .., The leaves are identical.
Acacia sp??051209PKA2 – efloraofindia | Google Groups . ID confirmation acacia pennata?: 5 images. May be Senegalia torta as per the following keys: 229 ID wild plant Senegalia: 21 images. Please ID wild plant. We use it’s dry crushed bark as hair shampoo.

I think it is close to the images at Senegalia torta (Roxb.) Maslin, Seigler & Ebinger Google says bark of S. rugata used as hair shampoo and only one rigid bark image in eFI is correct, but leaves are not matching. I don’t know S. torta bark is used as hair shampoo (if it is, OK). This plant is growing throughout Kerala, it’s dried bark is very famous as hair shampoo and available through all ayurvedic medical shops and local markets. Sharing an image, That is right. Both species look quite similar, but the pods are different.
