Excellent pictures …
I have only seen other species from the same genus Sapium insignae which is observed in Western ghats.

Thanks sir for upload and latest name,
I think we have clicked few images of this tree from cactus garden Panchkula, during our visit.


Yes … I just saw that collection, it was lying wrongly identified as S.insigne. I have corrected it now. It is very distinct from S. insigne.

Requesting to please provide ID of this tree captured at Dharamshala, HP in October 2014.
It was seen in the compound of a hotel.


Looks like Sapium sebiferum (Indian Tallow tree), planted as avenue and for ornamental purposes in Himachal. 


Yes, Sapium sebiferum..


Thanks … for the ID… The correct name is now Triadica sebifera….

Wild tree in the river bank, from Kullu Himachal 


Thanks, … Any other images ?


I have one which is also having same features.  Attachments (1)


Is it Sapium sebiferum ??


I agree with … This appears to be the Chinese Tallow tree, Sapium sebiferum, current name Triadica sebifera. This is usually cultivated in various parts of India and sometimes naturalizing.
