My Pending Identifications: Chakrata-Pistacia:: NS MARCH 03 : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (6).
This was a tree in fruits, shot again from Chakrata.. the tree is often covered with galls also..
I think this can be a Pistacia sp. ..can this be P. chinesis

---

Yes to me it is Pistacia chinensis subsp. integerrima (J. L. Stewart ex Brandis) Rech. f.
The insect galls are medicinally very important.

Thank you very much … for confirmation and detailed nomenclature…

Mahogany? ABAPR01/11 : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (6)

This larger tree was growing next to the other tree (which we are suspecting to be Toona serrata).

The young foliage on this tree is also yellow/red with compound leaves. The bark is different and so are the leaf margins. The chandelier like structures have red berries. There are no dried fruit clusters on the tree. Do we know what this is? Another Toon sp.? Please advise.

may be Pistacia integrima

Thank you … It does look like Pistacio integerrima. While photographing I had asked a local person about that tree and he had said that the tree was the only specimen at this altitude and was called ‘Kadain’ in the local dialect. I am attaching a screen shot from the HP govt. site which gives botanical and local names of plants and entry serial 7 shows Kakrain which is close to what the man said.
I will try and visit the tree tomorrow and record changes if any and report here.

I visited the tree today and took some pictures. There is very little red left and the tree is covered in leaves.

I clicked these pictures in Kasauli (Himachal Pradesh). The Great Barbet was relishing the fruit. Please help me to identify this tree.

Not much familier with himalayan flora. But, i guess it could be a species of Rhus, most probably Rhus succedanea of Mango family. Pl check description matches perfectly.

It would be sps of Shinus – Anacardiaceae
