Adenanthera pavonina


This looks like Acacia senegal..


agree with … … its not Adenanthera …leaves and the color and overall shape of the flower spike is all different


efi page on Senegalia senegal


Please check this link for A.senegal in flowersofindia.net, wherein … has identified the tree A.senegal: http://www.flowersofindia.GumArabicTree.html.
The present picture posted by …  does not tally (foliage type and leaflets) with the picture in flowersofindia.

I think it matches with images at Senegalia modesta (Wall.) P. J. H. Hurter


Beautiful image of Senegalia modesta.  May I know the name of the place and state where the photograph was taken?


Thanks, …  It is mentioned as Ludhiana, Punjab.


Should I add my pics here for confirmation …?
This tree occurs in Haryana Siwaliks, Morni Hills area, my pics need confirmation..


Certainly. Why not?

Adding my pics for confirmation …, these were recorded from Morni Hills, Haryana….Senegalia modesta?


Thanks, …  To me these look close. 


Thank you very much for sharing these images.
There are only a few collections available in CAL indicating that this is a rare species (possibly abundant in some localities of Punjab).
This was originally described by Wallich  in 1831 from a cultivated plant in the Calcutta Botanic Garden, presumably introduced from Saharanpur and described again two times in 1832 by Roxburgh as Mimosa dumosa.and M. obovata.
The specimens which I have seen are from Delhi (cultivated), Punjab (Saharanpur), Shimla and Rajasthan (Churru district). It extends to Pakistan and Afghanistan. Southwards, this has been described from Tamil Nadu as Acacia tanjorensis.
