Identify tree at Powai opp IIT: It is Spondias mangifera The photos are very very nice. Thanks for sharing. I think the tree is in fruiting now. You may also send the photos of the fruits. In Mysore the raw fruits are sold in the market and used for pickles.
ambada and jungli ambada for id mm1 23102011: the image labelled spondius pinnata was planted by me a few months ago 826 and 827 are images of a tree which has grown on its own. its crushed leaves have a strong manago fragrance, much stronger and nicer than the planted one the boys call it jangli ambada the size of the leaflets is much bigger, about seven inches or so, the color is darker and the leaf itself is thicker is it a different spondius species i would very much appreciate an identification
Tree ID request – RK81 – 6-Jan-2013: Spondias pinnata is my guess! Yes, Spondias pinnata. If this is Spondias pinnata, its called Jalpai in bangla… Had thought of Lannea coromandelica but they are more ovoid than the more spherical ones as seen here of Spondias pinnata
Hooghly : Spondias sp. : 4 images. 6 posts by 4 authors. There is ID key in an earlier thread – efi thread, but it differs, to some extent, from the “Bengal Plants”. (i) leaflets 4-6 jugate, quite entire ——– S. mangifera Willd. (ii) leaflets 6-8 jugate, crenate-serrate ——- S. dulcis Willd (Not Parkinson). But, then the “Bengal Plants” is a century old and the key, “…. Leafless when flowering”, suggests this plant is Spondias pinnata (L. f.) Kurz. Yes it is Yes Spondias pinnata
Hooghly Today : Spondias pinnata (L. f.) Kurz : Attachments (5). 5 posts by 3 authors. A distant relative of Mango (both belong to the same family Anacardiaceae) it is known as ‘Amra’ in Uttarakhand. Fruits are sour and edible, more after pickling. We too call it AMRA. And Bengal Plants lists it as Spondias mangifera Willd. Bengal Plants has another AMRA, S. dulcis Willd., featuring 6-8 jugate leaflets with crenate-serrate margin. In kannada Amte kai, used for pickles. Right now (25.5.13) available in the Mysore market.

Goa, May 2015 :: Requesting ID of this tree :: ARKJUN-10/21 : 10 posts by 7 authors. Attachments (2) Please ID this medium sized tree captured near the Mangeshi temple in Goa in May 2015. melia azedarach… mahanimb?? It is not Melia azadirach or Melia dubia for sure. Please check for Spondias species. Not able to get full details from the picture. Hence, I am not sure. Thanks for the possible ID, but I think the leaf margins differ. oh ok! Garuga pinnata is usually leafless while fruiting. Spondias spp. have alternate leaves as against this specimen. Spondias species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) Spondias sp, Looks like Spondias sp., BSI recognizes 4. Assuming fruits are more than 1 cm it is S. pinnata (L.f.) Kurz. Please ensure number of leaflets not more than 11. Thank you … for the feedback….. Thanks … for the links. All the leaves in the pic do not have leaflets exceeding 11, also I think the fruits exceed 1 cm, as they looked bigger even from afar. So I guess, this should be S. pinnata
July2015sk06/06 — Spondias pinnata (L. f.) Kurz : 5 posts by 2 authors.

The 2nd set have smaller leaflets….
In this 3rd set you see inflorescence which is unusual at this time of the year…. Well done, …

Simply and only മാ maa also means mango – as listed in Hermann Gundert’s A Malayalam and English dictionary. Here is the specific link from where I got കാട്ടുമാ kaattumaa … If you insist, I will change കാട്ടുമാ kaattumaa.to കാട്ടുമാങ്ങ kaattumaanga. The link is correct, but better name is കാട്ട്മാങ്ങ Kaattumaanga. OK, many thanks, … I will revise my compilation shortly.
