VALMIKI : OBSERVER OF NATURE -36: Attaching the 36 th member of this series. Valmiki mentioned KARANJ in his Ramayan. Scientifically this tree is known as Pongamia pinnata. It is known as Karanj in many Indian languages. There are two images, one with flower and the other with fruits. pink & white flowers on Karanj [2 Attachments]: While going through my cell photographs, I came across two types of flowers on Karanj– Pogamia- One snapped at Bhiwandi Wada road at my Native place Kavad, this was taken on 12 April 2009 shows pink flowers of Karanj.
second snap taken on road to Bandavgadh MP, this was taken on 4 June 2009, This Karanj flowers show white flowers. Is there any subspecies in variety of Karanj? Is there any Botanist’s forum where I can put this question ? The pictures are not too clear as also I am not an expert botanist.
But I think the first picture is Millettia peguensis and the other one Pongamia or Karanj. Just a guess.

Please Identify the tree in the picture. The shot was taken at Fatepur Seekari on 15th of this month from the Seekari Complex. I feel it as Pongamia pinnata I also think this is Pongamia pinnata now known as Millettia pinnata
Yes. Milletia pinnata. In Delhi it is neither a tall tree nor it is leafless. But here in Seekari the whole of the parking complex was full of them and mos of them were leafless. There trunk was also light. I can not send any picture because my phone is in a funny mood.

This is one of the most numerous avenue trees here in Mayur Vihar in New Delhi. Leaves come in spring and almost all specimens that I have seen have the characteristic mottling as seen in the photographs.
Each specimen is quite a spectacle,with trunks that seems to grow without any plan.
I think I remember them flowering around August September. Very small white flowers, numerous and somewhat fragrant. The barks are silver, rough with small grains and the trunks have large bumps too. What I found intersting was one secondary branch which was actually growing with a negative gradient. Most of the specimens are twisted in odd shapes. I don’t know if that is a characteristic of the tree or the efforts of local arborists who trim the trees every winter or two.
Hoping for a positive ID on this tree that I see so many times everyday.

If you refer to [efloraofindia:27751] Pongamia pinnata the conversion of reproductive parts into galls is a little more clearer though not as clear as for Id. here we can see half the flower cluster has set pods. In the present case unless I can feel it it could be dried flower buds too for which … may have a better idea. Leaf galls by the eriophid mite are very distinct and are more prevalent than the woody galls.
I understand that the shape/structure of galls is determined by factors such as the plant part in question, stimuli from the gall-making organism and the response from the host plant.
This one is a leaf gall formed probably by Aceria pongamiae mite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PongamiaPinnataGall.jpg The globose structures are probably of floral-galls as they are seen in panicles.

Affirmative. This is Pongamia pinnata [Karanj / Pongam]. Please check my photographs of this at this link
Yes. this is Pongamia pinnata. Very nice shade providing tree, fixes nitrogen and supposed to protect against soil erosion due its lateral root system. I see lot of weird growth on their leaves.
