This is likely to be Caesalpinia bonduc

Yes, the shining grey seed nearest to us in the pic is what I know as Sagargota..
I am not familiar with the shell so much… esp dried like in this picture…



I also saw it on a site called “Sea beans“. Interesting how it’s got that name in English; almost like a translation of Sagargota!

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.

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
