Thorny straggler for ID 030511MK03:

Caesalpinia bonduc but differs in having pubescent body. 

Date/Time- 10-04-2011 / 10:30 AM
Location- Place, Altitude, GPca.1800m ASL; Kothagiri, TN
Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type- wild in forest fringes

Tree For ID : Yellow Flowers : Uttarakhand : 280513 : AK-3 :  Attachments (2).  3 posts by 2 authors.
A tree with yellow flowers seen in the Bhimtal area on a mountain slope on 23/3/13.
It was not possible to go nearer to take proper close ups. 


It is not a tree, rather a scrambling shrub has reached over the branches of support tree. Looking from a distance it may appear as interpreted here.
It is Caesalpinia decapetala (Roth) Alston, (=Caesalpinia sapiaria Roxb.).

Could be Caesapenia decapetala


Could be Caesalpenia decapetala


Yes, … is right. There used to be a stretch of road in Surat, about one km, on side of it this species was growing. Now for 3 yrs not seen a single plant. All gone in name of development. This was the only spot in about 70 kms.

Habit : A large climbing shrub armed with hooked prickles
Habitat : Wild


Could be Caesalpinia decapetala not very sure. Flower picture not very clear.


efi page on Caesalpinia decapetala 


It may be Caesalpinia decapetala (Roth) Alston as per images and details herein and as initially suggested by …
Flora of China saysLegume chestnut-brown, shiny, oblong-ligulate, 6-12 × 2.5-3 cm, fragile-leathery, glabrous …”

Please help with ID Peltophorum? from Bageshwar Uttarakhand-GS18032022-1: 8 very high res. images.
Please help with ID of this tree perhaps Peltophorum? photographed from Bageshwar Uttarakhand, 15-4-2012.


I guess Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC.) Backer ex K.Heyne !


Lighter flower colour and more importantly lack of ferruginous sepals creating doubts.


I think Biancaea decapetala


The Mysore thorn (Biancaea decapetala) is a thorny shrub. But you have mentioned it as a tree. Which is correct. Is it a tree or shrub. Does it have spines or not. Please clarify.


There are thorns visible in this image:
Peltophorum-sp-confirm-Bhageshwar-15-4-2012-DSC02883-a.jpg


It’s not Phelophorum sp.
I agree with Biancaea decapetala.


Yes it is a shrub as I can make out from all images. Here is one thorny twig.
1 high res. image.
