Bengali name : NATA (assuming the ID is correct)
Habit & Habitat : wild shrub (?) in a low wasteland at village outskirts, about 5 feet, highly prickly, i am sorry for failing to provide further details, for i thought it would be easy to ID this unique plant
Date : 18/8/12, 3.42 P.M.
Place : Khanpur (Hooghly – Howrah border)
sites visited :
I saw these around Bolpur one winter.. had fruits green though so no seeds were collected or photographed I hope oneday i will be able to find its flowers or fruits. This is Caesalpinia bonduc (Linnaeus) Roxburgh. = NATA or NATA KARANJA (নাটা করঞ্জা) in Bengali.
