This tree is getting scarce in lower hillocks of Siwaliks, a part of which runs through Haryana, present shots were recorded from near Morni Hills..
I was not having its closer view (in fact, no picture yet)..only a few individuals found growing in dry and barren tracts of this area, but getting closer for flowers was really tough, I had to bring down some twigs..
Still happy to get a closer look of flowers..sharing with you..

Tree for ID : Nasik : 10JAN22 : AK – 18: 4 images.
Small trees seen at the base of Borgad.
I was given to understand these are very good as a medicine against cough.
Will take better images during my next visit.


Boswellia,


Boswellia serrata


This tree is well known to me.
I have seen it in Muscat and around Oman a number of times.
Yet, I could not guess.

Sorry, the ones in Oman are probably Boswellia sacra and not these.
I had seen these in the Zarwani Forest in Gujarat a couple of years ago.


I was lucky to see the flowers during the last week of January this year.
5 images.
