There is a good park with a waterbody near Shegaon. I remember having seen a lot of good plants there with many many butterflies enjoying nectar from the flowers. A great sight to watch. The variegated variety is probably called as E.parcelii however needs confirmation. Thanks for good picture. The Park is known as Anand Sagar & is managed by ‘Sewa’ (service to the society).

please identify the Erythrina tree- is it E. indica or variegata?. When and where? The snaps were taken at the junction of Pratwiraj Road and Shahjahan, Infront of hotel Tajmansingh, in 2014. You mean in Delhi? With these images, it is difficult to say, but most likely to be Erythrina variegata (syn: Erythrina indica Lam.)

Here is a collage of Red whiskered Bulbul visiting flowers of Erythrina variegata. (INDIAN CORAL/ MADAR).
I saw your pictures of Erythrina Indica var alba taken from Horticultural Society, Kolkata.
I would like to learn more about this tree if information is available with you please share. This tree was reported to have found in a Temple in Chembur in Mumbai, later it was propagated in Victoria Gardens and exported to many foreign countries long ago. But today there is no trace of this tree, it is getting extinct in Mumbai. It is available in a few countries in Europe and USA, but it is not available easily in nurseries in India.
I am trying for this tree, please give information about this plant.

Erythrina Variegeta var alba or Erythrina Indica var alba Thanks, …,
Pl. the see the following links for more details from Erythrina variegata:
Fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae) Week: Tree – Erythrina variegata var. alba Do you know any nursery or contact person who can supply seeds or saplings of this plant? I am taking steps to conserve it. There are plenty of these tree in Bandra specially Carter road. Thanks for the information. But I enquired many plant nurseries in Mumbai, none of them sell this particular tree. One of the nurseries told it is very rare and they will try to get it but it will take a long time to locate one and find the seeds. In case I go to Mumbai, I will look for them in the location you specified. If any nurseries are selling them please let me know. It can also be propagated from cuttings – cuttings 6 ft x 3 inches across root readily.

the Erythrina is from Uttarakhnda on road side after Almora while we were coming down. Please identify it. Erythrina species in eFIoraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) Seems more like Erythrina variegata. …, can you tell something about bark and spines or if there were any leaves. These might help in correct ID It looks more like Erythrina variegata.
Fabaceae (Faboideae) Fortnight: Erythrina suberosa from Delhi-GSOCT26/31 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4) Is it not E.variegata or E.stricta as per the following (as the calyx appears to be spathaceous & not two lipped):
As per efi thread:
Of course the Key in BSI is very good and depends on calyx spathaceous, not 2 lipped, splitting down deep to base in E.variegata and E.stricta whereas not so in E suberosa where it is not spathaceous and it is more or less 2 lipped. As per efi thread: Calyx not 2 lipped, splitting down to the base, entire at apex is E. stricta Calyx 2 lipped. not splitting down is E. suberosa, though the bark and spines may differ.
Pl. also see FOC illustration If the pods belong to the same tree then it has to be Erythrina variegata. . fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae) Week: Erythrina suberosa from Delhi:

Seen two small trees in one of the plant nurseries in Muscat today. Leaves suggest some Erythrina species.
No flowers, only leaves and black spines on the bark.
Height approx 10 feet. Erythrina haerdii has big spines on the trunk. In this case ID cannot be confirmed. I could photograph the buds and later the mature pods. I was lucky to capture flowers on the same tree yesterday.
Attaching the pictures.
To me it looks very close to Erythrina variegata. Attachments (6) Very good pictures. Thanks a lot. Hope to get my suggested id validated. Why not? I think yes correct As per efi thread: … the Key in BSI is very good and depends on calyx spathaceous, not 2 lipped, splitting down deep to base in E.variegata and E.stricta whereas not so in E suberosa where it is not spathaceous and it is more or less 2 lipped.
In view it is more closer to Erythrina suberosa Roxb. I think … is right. It seems close to E. variegata, unless there is Thanks, … Pl. see the fruits here. Thanks. E variegata, then

Flowers are not clear and front leaves are confusing. However, this seems to be Erythrina variegata as per the shape of the fruits.
Also seeds appears to be immature and colour may turn out to be as per links below, on drying:
