Cassia fistula – Indian Laburnum from Dombivli: Cassia fistula planted by me ten years ago in a school compound. It is the flowering season lasting upto June. This tree is a native of India. It sheds its leaves during March and in April bursts into a mass of long, yellow golden flowers. The fruit is a long pipe like liked by monkeys. The tree is the host plant for the caterpillars of yellow butterflies. We in Delhi will have to wait for another 20 to 30 days for this to flower. Once it flowers, it is treat to eyes. The butterfly is emigrant if I am not mistaken. Agreed. It is the food plant of the Common Emigrant. its a veritable storehouse of medicinal properties…. esp the black pulp around the small seeds in the seedpod… in bengal the black stick like pod is called Bandor-lathi……lathi for a monkey… as you say liked by the monkeys, though Calcutta hardly has any free roaming monkey left…
Cassia fistula: I wants to identify this plant. It is Cassia fistula of Leguminosae family. This can be Cassia fistula…few last flowers of season?? cassia fistula बहावा

Cassia fistula-MN05052012: Place : Dombivli Date : 05.05.2012 A cool thing to soothe the eyes in hot summers, this one and Delonix regia (Gulmohar) steal the show in May and June… May i request you to add Peltophorum pterocarpum and Lagerstroemia speciosa in yorur list 🙂 Definitely … these two also deserve special mention, the reason behind my not mentioning them being there low frequency in our area compared to Gulmohar and Amaltas.. Thank you once again Sir, here we have more Gulmohar and Copper pod than Amaltas and Jarool.  Hi – query on Amaltas_Cassia Fistula: You can recollect me from the below mail chain. I have been anxiously waiting for my tree to blossom yellow this May. Last May it was small. But so far it din’t. Will you be able to throw some light please? Is May not the month for yellow blossom in Hyderabad unlike Delhi ? Sorry if I am bothering you. Attaching two latest pics of my tree. Have explained this in the past but am not able to reproduce the link here Here is the link: It’s very easy to find a particular thread by opening home page at link (keep it in your Favourites & you needn’t have to ‘sign in’ to it) & searching on Gulmohar Tree + … Once thread is open, copy & paste the address. You are right, my Amaltas (Cassia Fistula) is planted in centre of a lawn. I am not sure as to how I will handle this.. but what I get from you is that I should not water the area around this tree so that it blossoms yellow. Do I still have time? Can I right now stop watering the surroundings and still be lucky to see yellow blossom in the next few days? It is now left to the elements. If the monsoons set in, as I presume it will this week in Hyderabad, you will have to wait another year to see your tree blossom.

Thank you very much Usha di for your response. thanks for the clarification and your diligence … not hard L … ल is soft L. (ळ is hard L) well, my understanding is different… i may be wrong… Let’s Learn Marathi – Alphabets – Mulakshare – मुळाक्षरे https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_0YSwM3kUs ळ definitely sounded soft to my ears linguistics/ science may be classifying it differently my knowledge is: phonetically it sounds soft may be that’s the difference and I have never come across equivalent of ળ ळ in bangla learning never ends so tell me about hard and soft differences Apologies …, my understanding about linguistics is limited. I would say: ल in Marathi (and Hindi) is soft L … just as you discussed earlier … as in baval which is a soft rl sound. not to labor this point but I just cant resist it … where the L is definitely complete and hard sound Not sure how બાવળ is pronounced in Gujarati. Please find how ल sounds in कमल OR जल बाळो ballo is pronounce as follows ‘ba’ as in bath ‘ll’ as in english culled ‘o’ pronounced as awe hope this was useful Thanks …, It is interesting to get variances of pronunciation for the word balo – local name in Goa for Cassia fistula.

Konkani name for Cassia fistula in Goan Konkani is Bhalo Thank you very much …
Cassia fistula?/ABDEC38 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3) On a drive to the lower town, I spotted several specimens of this tree, mostly young, which I took to be Cassia fistula or Amaltas. A local man who I consulted said that it had yellow flowers in spring and was known as Kaniyar in the local dialect. The Kaniar I know is the Bauhinia purpurea, which this tree is definitely not. But then local names can, and often do differ. The person did not recognise the name Amaltas either but said that any parts of the tree were not edible (poisonous he said). Please advise. Dharamshala, HP 1500m approx. 21 December 2014 I think you are right.
IN SEARCH OF SCIENTIFIC IDENTITY OF KARNIKAR : 2 posts by 2 authors. 1 correct image. During 1981-1984 I was at Pachmarhi. My friend Prabhat Kumar used to stay at a cottage called Bedi Banglow. On the right side of the entry to that house there used to be a big tree with large sweet scented flowers. To find out the identity of this tree I consulted books in the library of AEC Training college and centre ( this library is having rich collection of books on all subjects). D V Cowen’s Flowering Trees and Shrubs of India (sixth edition, 1984) has hand drawn picture of the flower with leaves, and as per that book the scientific name of KARNIKAR is Pterospermum acerifolium. For me it became the Scientific identity of KARNIKAR, till the time My friend Prof. Suhas Majumdar of Presidency College, Kolkata told me that the description of KARNIKAR by Kalidas does not match with Pterospermum acerifolium (while walking on the bank of the Ganges near Mangal Pande Ghat, I showed him the tree which I knew as KARNIKAR. He told me that tree was MUCHKUNDA (in Bangla), and started reciting from Kalidas and told me that MUCHKUNDA can not be KARNIKAR). So my search started. I referred many books but according to all of them KARNIKAR IS Pterospermum acerifolium. I me Dr S K Jain of Botanical Survey of India, in his office at Lucknow and discussed the subject with him.He told me that a botanist may not be that keen to know the sanskrit name of a particular species. While going through a book by Shibkali Bhattacharya (title of the book, CHIRANJIB BANOUSHADHI), I found him stating Cassia fistula as KARNIKAR. I brought it to the notice of Prof Majumdar and wanted to know whether this tree fits into the description of KARNIKAR by Kalidas. His answer was affirmative. Now i had two scientific names for KARNIKAR. In 1994 I was going through a translated version of Valmiki Ramayan and found mention of KARNIKAR along with some 140 or so distinct names of plants. I got interested and bought Valmiki Ramayan (Gita Press, Gorakhpur). In that book I found an excellent description of KARNIKAR (Kishkindha Kand, Pratham Sarg, Shlok 21). He says, ” look at the KARNIKAR in full bloom, they are looking as if a man in golden ornaments and putting on yellow garments.” Such a good observer was poet Valmiki. For me the identity of KARNIKAR is settled. It is Cassia fistula. Attaching one image of Cassia fistula and an image of Pterospermum acerifolium. Reader can draw his own conclusion. Very intersting But did not tell us why you started with the word “karnikar” Cassia fistula flowers are not scented .. and I agree with you, Karnikar is most likely Cassia fistula as per Kalidas ‘s writings and Ramayana but in Aryurvedic leterature such as Bhavprakash Nghantu there is no doubt is cassia fistula/ amaltas… This is such an inspiring story of a citizen naturalist ‘s painstaking inquiry into id of trees named in ancient Sanskrt literature
I just arrived back from Delhi and apart from the searing heat one of the highlights of my trip was the flowering Amaltas trees in public parks. Of course we have our own here too spreading on hills at lower altitude but I haven’t got pictures of the local trees. Here are some from Delhi taken in the last couple of days. Amaltas seeds are spread by jackals and bears in the wild (Pradip Krishen, Trees of Delhi) and we have both these animals here in the himalayas. yes they are flowering here too in the lower ganges delta though I always thought they were (seeds, I mean) were spread by monkeys and hence bengali name is Banorlathi (banor= bunder , lathi = stick) for the stick like long black (when mature) seed pods with the somewhat sweetish pulp important medicine for humans too.
Flora of Madh: Cassia fistula L. : VG-JUL-01 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2) Sharing some images of Cassia fistula, a recent addition to the flora of Madh, North Mumbai. Though widely cultivated in Mumbai, this tree is uncommon in Madh and was absent in the published enumeration of the flora of Madh by Santapau & Shah (1969). Photographed on the 15th of June 2015. i thought monkeys spread the seeds may be so if there are migrating monkeys !!
