13042011GS1 tree for ID from Panchkula<\/a>: The tree about 4 m tall <\/font>was growing in Panchkula Cactus garden<\/font><\/font>, leaves palmately lobed, hairy especially beneath, about 8-12 cm broad, cordate; flowers yellow with purplish brown eye<\/font>,<\/u> reminding of Thunbergia<\/i> flowers about 4-5 cm across, but<\/font> the calyx has 5 linear teeth.<\/font> Photographed on April
9, 2011.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

–\u00a0\u00a0its a plant colloquially called the Sesame tree<\/b>. \u00a0Its a member of family Pedaliacae<\/i>, to be specific its name is
Uncarina grandidieri<\/i> …. originally from Madagascar… found in many sun-rooms in homes and hothouses in NY often grown in the same sort of climate control as various cacti, so your finding it in a cactus garden in North India seems very appropriate.<\/font> <\/p>\n

\n

– You are on spot. Yes it is Uncarina grandidieri<\/i>, also known as succulent <\/p>\n

\n

– Unfortunately not, only photographs of twigs. There were two three tree almost 12-15 \u00a0feet \u00a0tall with spreading crown.<\/font> <\/p>\n

\n

– …the name Sesame tree<\/b> always intrigued me … never having seen fruits develop on these trees where they grow, being inside hothouses, there aren’t natural pollinators available I guess…. so it would be interesting to find out what happens in Panchkula where its growing in open air.<\/p>\n

Tree for ID : Delhi : 091212 : AK-1:<\/a> A small, cultivated tree seen in one of the gardens<\/font> in Delhi<\/font> on the 6th of Dec,12 with bright yellow flowers.<\/font><\/p>\n
Height of tree was 7-8 feet.<\/font><\/div>\n
Can our experts help me with the id please?<\/div>\n
I am seeing this tree for the first time and eager to know its name.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Most probably an Uncarina<\/i> species, may be U. grandidieri<\/i>…Pedaliaceae<\/i>..<\/p>\n
\n
On searching, it does look like Uncarina<\/i> species in Daves Garden.<\/div>\n
Could it be Uncarina turicana<\/i>?<\/p>\n
\n

Uncarina grandidieri<\/i>, we had photographed this from Cactus garden, Panchkula.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n
Thanks for confirming the id.<\/p>\n
