Plant for Identification AG181114_1 : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2)
I am requesting all of you to identify the plant in the attached 2 photos.
This is deceptively similar to Nerium oleander, which is very common. However, this is something different.

I need help in identification of several species of trees that I have planted for an NGO.
They are not necessarily common and that is why I need help.
I have collected them from western ghat region in Karnataka basically.

It could be member of Fam: Sapindaceae
Dodonaea ?

I have not yet been able to identify this sp
Even I am puzzled

Dodonaea viscosa N. Jacq. ?

    If you cut any part nerium oleander, it releases watery sap. It belongs to Apocynaceae . But Dodonaea viscosa (Sapindaceae) does not ooze.
