Is it a var. of Mellaluca– known as Golden Bottlebrush in Delhi?

Looks like Melaleuca bracteata – golden crest/ Golden bottle brush. But one has to check / compare the floral and vegetative characters of the species before confirmation.

this is Melaleuca bracteata

Golden bottle brush

Perhaps Callistemon pallidus

Thanks, … Do you have an habit picture ? Was it at Lalbagh ?

Yes … it was at LBG… forgot to mention….. But I do not have more images

Forwarding a habit picture as desired by you
Image dt 08-03-2016 @ Lalbagh Botanical Gardens

From images of Callistemon pallidus at the following, it does not seem to match:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melaleuca_pallida
http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/content/lemon-bottlebrush-pallidus.htm

Seems to be some species of Callistemon.

To me it looks close to Melaleuca bracteata of Myrtaceae.
A picture of the tree could have helped.
I have seen and photographed the above at Lalbagh.

Thanks … I endorse your views. I have uploaded the habitat image as a supplement in this thread on … request. Kindly examine the image…..or else I will upload again for your reference.

Thanks … for the habit image. It does look like Melaleuca bracteata to me.

Calliandra species for ID – 181012 – RK:
Photographed at Lalbagh, Bangalore – 15/10/12 – 10.30am. First time seeing this in profuse bloom:) Request ID.

I meant Callistemon species! I make this mistake frequently.Please excuse…

Callistemon sieberi DC

Stamens are occurring in bundles, suggestive of Melaleuca and not Callistemon

Looks like one of the Melaleuca species

Melaleuca armillaris, (Sol. ex Gaertn.) Sm. <=> Bracelet Honey Myrtle Tree
Is this the above one?

I had photographed the same flower in Lalbagh during visit to Bangalore in July.

Since light was very less and branches were swaying in the breeze, I couldn’t get reasonably good pictures.

So I did not post them on our group.

On searching in flowersofindia.net, where I generally search for common names, I found Melaleuca bracteata to be the closest to my flower. Common name Golden Bottle Brush.
Kindly have a look and confirm if its the same.

I think close to images at Melaleuca bracteata F.Muell. as pointed out by …
