Beeja plays many amazing roles from young age to old age. Name of the species: Pterocarpus marsupium

It looks like Centrolobium sp., probably C. paraense, family Leguminosae. Please look for huge prickly winged fruits > 8 cm. Isn’t it Pterocarpus marsupium? Yes, looks like Pterocarpus marsupium, would be nice to look at the winged seeds for additional confirmation. I didn’t notice any fruit on the trees with flowers this time.

difference between two Pterocarpus species found in mysore : 5 correct images. 2 posts by 2 authors. “”one” is P.santalinus. Key charecter is the axillary flowers.
“two” is P.marsupium. Key character is flowers (panicle) are terminal.
Flora at my farm in Hyderabad – Please ID this tree – P.marsupium or P.santalinus – efloraofindia | Google Groups .
Pterocarpus marsupium and Pterocarpus angolensis.
These two species have same description. One is found in India another is found in Afrika.
By any chance are they synonyms?
