Ref. Flowers of India

Joannesia princeps
Endemic to Brasil
Family : Euphorbiaceae

TO A CERTAIN EXTENT yes….

BUT the leaves of Silk Cotton and Baobab are more similar and certainly different… and

leaves shown in Photos clearly shows they are larger and broader
Please CHECK

there is a old Baobab tree in Lalbaugh

so that you can place both leaf formation next to each other and check it out.

Endemic to Brazil, Joannesia princeps is threatened by habitat loss … Wikipedia as well as … has put.
If this plant is able to be cultivated elsewhere other then the restricted area, then it is no longer known as endemic.
Thus what is the fact: is Joannesia princeps endemic to OR native of Brazil ?

The name plate says clearly ‘Andes Gomesii’ in lalbagh

So this tree is a araranut

Its actually Anda gomesii, not Andes. Plz tell Lalbagh people to correct it.

Sorry, its my typo.

Its flowering now (7 images)
