… some fabaceae tree  

Dear friends,
Not able to recollect or get to this fabaceae. Moderate sized tree, not sure whether planted or wild. Flowers remind of Derris.

Guessing … A Dalbergia sp. ?

Good possibility of Dalbergia, …


No. This is Xanthophyllum arnottianum of Polygalaceae. Most of the Polygalaceae members looks like a Papilionoide flower. In Phylogeny Polygalaceae comes very Close to Leguminosae


Thank you very much … for this ID.

Great help. Very new plant to me, a bonus, a tree from Polygalaceae!!


I hope we are treating Xanthophyllum arnottianum Wight distinct from Xanthophyllum flavescens Roxb.

Please comment.
