ID- tall tree with reddish pods:
Apologies for the poor photos from my mobile phone camera.
Spotted at IIT Madras Campus, Chennai.
What is this tree? Grows quite tall and has dull reddish fruits. Had spotted the same tree I think in Rajawadi (ghatkopar), Mumbai once but was not able to photograph it.


Sterculia villosa of Malvaceae family


Thanks … for the prompt response!
Are these trees found in Bangalore too? So far I have not spotted one in my casual observations.


I too have not yet seen this species in Bangalore. Raman ji had recently posted this species from Siddara Betta, which is close to Bangalore.
Here is the subject line of that post [efloraofindia:107919] Request Tree ID 72 – Siddara Bette – Karnataka


I think this has to be Sterculia foetida.
I have seen many tall trees in IIT Madras campus


Sterculia foetida.


I too had a rethinking, I think the leaves are digitate rather than palmate (key character as per Gamble)
Thanks to … and … for correction.


It seems to me to be Sterculia foetida… we know this as BOXO BAADAAM in Bengali… a favorite of children they roast and eat the fatty greying-white nutmeal inside a black thickish capsule…..
I think … is correct in his diagnosis.

Sterculia foetida


I have never seen the fruits this close and this red, our trees here in the park are old and tall.
yes we call it baxo badam
black seeds can be roasted and eaten, the street urchins always beat us to them from the park trees.
and the shells make interesting flower decor base.


Appreciate the info about Baxo Badam. Came to know about the Bengali name thro’ INW. Interesting!!

Kindly confirm if the tree in the photos is Sterculia foetida. The uncertainty regarding the identity is because this tree flowers in the months of November and December and the fruits are visible from December onwards, whereas the reported month of flowering of Sterculia foetida is March.


This is Sterculia foetida. The flowering season may vary in north to South India. In Pune (Maharashtra), the tree near my house flowers in late January to February .


yes local microclimate also will have effects
and minor changes in the seed that was originally planted!!!
we have krishnachuras (delonix regia) in my neighborhood that don’t flower at the same time

Sterculia foetida in Chennai:
This tree has become very common over the past decade in Chennai.  It is very fast-growing. Here it is crowding out a Pterospermum canescens. However it does appear quite colourful just now with the fruit turning ripe.

Sterculia foetida…. we have a lot of them by Dhaakuria lakes…  in Bengali called Baksho Baadaam… badam in a box…


… would this বাক্স বাদাম be baksho baadaam ?


Yes, you got it right….
its pronounced (verbal bengali is different from written) … as ending with  an O as in Baksho… and what is pronounced as SH is written here as a mere S … and ending with a short a…and not an O. etc etc
if you wish to add it to flowers of India listing, this is the spelling in Bengali script…

Seen this tree in Tirupati (AP) but could not capture after seeing fruits i could come to know that the plant was S. foetida.



Kindly help Id this tree on a roadside at Pune if possible as the quality of pictures is poor. Sorry for that
Location: road from Ruby hall to Holiday Inn
I could just get one picture and that too not so clear as I was travelling. 
The shining bright orange red semicircular looking pods caught my attention. Some were almost dark black red
can it be Sterculia foetida ?

Sterculia foetida


As I find on the net Marathi and Sanskrit names for this tree are Marathi पुनव punava • *Sanskrit*: पुतिदारु > putidaru, वित्खदिर vitkhadirahपुनव means full moon wondering why it must have been named so is it to do with the pods? also if anyone explain the meaning of the Sanskrit words


Yes Sterculia foetida.
Malvaceae (Earlier: Sterculiaceae)
Within 15 days it will start flowering. In fact I saw it flowering yesterday in Pune University. But in most other places in Pune just a matter of 2-3weeks


In Bangalore all the leaves have fallen and flowers are coming up.
If you stand below the tree in the morning, Fragrance of the flowers are so nice.


I am a bit confused with your feedback as on the net I found that the flowers have an unpleasant aroma like manure


Agreed … The fragrance is strong but definitely not foetid as per the name says.
The fall season for this tree has just started here in Pune for this tree.


I think the name of the tree should be Sterculia scentida 🙂 instead


Would you please give the reference for this name?


There is no reference to this. this is my feeling that the tree should have been named Sterculia scentida as the flowers smell nice and not unpleasant. Sorry for the confusion.


The flowers dont have a pleasant smell. Probably … had got a whiff of some other nearby flower. The smell is not so repulsive from a few feet away but if you collect a few fls. in your hand and smell it closely it is a rotting smell.
The seeds are roasted and eaten……..very tasty.
You find lots of them in an instituition opp Lalbagh KH road entrance.
The watchman collects and sells seeds. Bought a few kilos last year and gave them to Hebbal nursery. Seeds sprouted easily. saplings were sold at Hebbal nursery, Bangalore. To my surprise they were sold out so fast and one of my friends I sent there didnt find any to buy !


Even smell is subjective looks like.
I took pictures of it today.
And the smell was so nice. I took a fallen flower and smelt it and it was good.
Let me put the images of the flower shortly


I have put my pictures under
https://groups.google.com/indiantreepix/_VCVO_5AB-g


Residents nearby this tree often complain of a dead rat or choked sewage to their neighbours. Flowers may be pleasantly scented only to the pollinators (Pipistrels or Carrion Flies?). Hope new generation cameras have the facility to record the scent with the image. (There is one with the GPS co-ordinates.)

Bangalore – RA – Sterculia foetida – Wild Almond Tree:
Java Olive is a tall, straight tree.

Originally from East Africa and North Australia, it grows freely down the West of the Peninsular, in Burma Ceylon and South India.
The grey bark is smooth, spotted with brown and faintly ridged.
The branches are whorled and usually horizontal, the numerous branchlets gracefully up-curved and crowded at the ends with large, palm-like leaves, remind one somewhat of the English Horse-chestnut.
The flowers, appearing early in February, form at the knotty ends of the wrinkled old branchlets immediately beneath the new leaves and spread in drooping rays as much as one foot in length. The reddish-green stems bear numerous short branched stalks, each terminating in a crimson-brown flower. The sepals, which look like petals, (there are no visible real petals), are about 1-inch across, back-curling and varying in colour from yellow to pale terracotta and to deep crimson and brown. But the main characteristic of these flowers is their incredible stench.
Coming across a Java Olive in bloom ones would think that one was near an open sewer and any part of the tree when bruised or cut emits this unpleasant odour.
It is unfortunate as the tree is extremely handsome; tall and straight, its well shaped crown swathed in coral, often without a single touch of green, it stands out amongst the surrounding verdure in great beauty and dignity.
The seeds are edible after toasting and taste like chestnuts (Castanea sativa ). They also contain an oil that is used medicinally, while the timber is used for making furniture and the bark for rope

may i ask where you took this photo in Bangalore?


This I took in Diamond District, Old Airport Road.
I have seen many trees in National Games Village (outside) and in Lalbagh near the lake

Id please…
photo taken in Hyderabad on 26th Jan 2012

These are the pods of Sterculia foetida, commonly known as Java Olive, Sterculia Nut or Jangli Badam.
Flowers are small & red in color.


Sterculia foetida !


Yes, I too that this is Sterculia foetida


You are right … The season of observation is important here too. The tree typically becomes leafless at this time (Same is here in Maharashtra) and the mature pods which turn from green to red are easily visible even from distance. Slowly the tree will be full of tiny beautiful flowers. Just keep watching them and try to capture the flowers from branches which are drooping down. Its fun. Often the fallen flowers spread on the ground like a carpet.

Can someone help me in identifying this plant.

Sterculia, most probably must be Sterculia foetida.


This is Sterculia foetida. The fruits will be red in colour and after drying it becomes grayish brown. Extremely fast-growing. Preferred for road-side plantation. The seeds are roasted and eaten. The species name is foetida because of bad smell of emerging creamish-white flowers.
