Tree for ID : Delhi : 121212 : AK-2: Tree seen in a garden in Delhi on 6/12/12.

A cultivated tree, no flowers or fruits when picture was taken.
Very unusual shaped leaves.


It looks like Aleurites moluccana


Thanks for a possible id. The leaves look different.
The name suggested by you, on searching, resembles a tree in Kenya I had photographed and posted earlier.
It was lying unidentified for a long time.


This is not Aleurites moluccana


The leaves resemble a tree I had seen in Lalbagh, Bangalore on 26/7/2012, Brachychiton australis, Syn Sterculia trichosiphon.

Kindly validate.


Yes it is Brachychiton australis
