Common name: marabou-thorn

Commonly planted in Delhi. Photographed from Punjabi Bagh. Very much native. Occasional in Western ghats. Nice shot …, the flowers are so unique in morphology!! Thanks a lot … for apreciation. I agree with you to some extent. Prosumer (Non SLR ) cameras have improved a lot in recent years. Many a times I feel helpless not having my old Nikon Coolpix 5700 which was sooooo good for flower photography. I remember taking many beautiful shots which I feel were somewhat better than the current SLR which I am using now. Somehow that model has been discontinued and I couldn’t figure out any comparable model so far. Yes … That is a good idea. We can also have a new thread where all interested members can give detais about their camera equipment. We can then have a new page in the website with all information handy. if you want one…. Nikon Coolpix 5700 is till available used … for about 130 dollars on Amazon.com… or a new one for 1300.00 dollars..ten times more… both at That model 5700 had inherent problem. The CCD pops off after 4000 images. Same thing happened with three of us who purchased it together. I purchased it for Rs 45000 some 7years back and have spent 2-3000 on repairs. Battery doesn’t last long. I won’t dare to buy that again….rather can get any decent new one for 25000

This is known in Bihar and UP as शमी and Rajpoot/ Kshatriya people worship it …it has got a place in rituals of marriage even ! …everytime in discussion with non-botanist people from those two states, they never accept Prosopis cinerea as Shami. Thanks very much … for the name in Bihar, UP, and related information. I will add them in the names database soon. Revised, added shami in 3 languages – Hindi, Kannada and Tulu. In Karnataka too, it seems this plant is given the “honour” of shami, which I had disregarded considering the listing must have been in error.
