Nice to see the still green thorny seed pods and the characteristic flowers.
Plz id this shrub: pa24 – 2nov2012: Plz id this large shrub from Mumbai region. The stem and branches are full of spines.
This could be Moullava spicata (Dalzell) Nicolson.
Marathi name: Waghati
Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. of Caesalpinaceae I think
Yes I also agree for Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. of Caesalpinaceae
Yes this Caesalpinia bonduc. The curved spines in the stem is clearly visible.
I too think that this is Caesalpinia bonduc
Agreed. This is Sagargota [not Wagati]. Have both on my property at Shahapur. Sending a few of my photographs to showcase its salient features.
Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. ? from Hooghly 21/8/12 SK2:
Identification is tricky when one finds an unknown plant without its flowers or fruits. After searching for quite sometimes, i think, i finally come closer to its ID.
Species : Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. ?
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.
