Great shot again. Yes Sir we have this plant in Odisha. Thanks for sharing. I think leaflets must be obtuse here and the mid nerve should be in middle position.

MS/2020/MAY/12 – Request for ID of the Albizzia sps. : 7 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (4)
I am sending herewith the photographs of the Albizzia species  received from Chennai with the tag ‘Albizzia odorotissima’ . I request the expert opinion of the group members on the ID.

I think it should be Albizia amara (Roxb.) B.Boivin rather than Albizia odoratissima (L.f.) Benth. as per comparative images at Albizia

Thanks. You are right. The person who sent me for confirmation  had put a tag “A. odorotissima ‘. I could not confirm on my own with facts that it is amara. That is why I sent the photographs. I am happy now.


Can you post the latest key for ID of Albizzias, if any.


Keys are available at book page image at Flora of Peninsular India


Thanks a lot …, It is very helpful.
