Kandivali[w] is celebrating Cassia grandis!<\/a>:
\n<\/span>Cassia grandis<\/i> is one of the first Pink Cassia to bloom & It is blooming<\/span> in Kandivali<\/span> for last 8 days. I think <\/span>C.grandis<\/i> is fairly\u00a0<\/span>rare in Mumbai<\/span> and since we have an avenue of it <\/span>in\u00a0Mahavir Nagar [Kandivali, Mumbai],<\/span> if any one is interested\u00a0I can show these trees. … &\u00a0\u00a0in this area we have an avenue of <\/span>Cassia roxburgie, Kigellia pinnata, spathodea campnulata, <\/i>adam, amaltas and Tabebuia! This is very unusual for N.Mumai!…..<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

– Earlier today, I saw another <\/span>Cassia grandis<\/i> in the premises of the Western Railways HQ in Churchgate [opposite platform no. 4]. It is flowering sparsely, not as well as the ones in Kandivali. It is laden with pods and several of them have split open on the tree itself. There are two more <\/span>Cassia<\/i> sp. with leafy stipules beside this tree and look forward to seeing them flower.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trees of Bangalore – RA – Cassia grandis – Brazillian Cassia Tree:<\/a>
\nCoral Shower Tree<\/b> is native to tropical regions of America. Apparently originating in the Amazon, the species\u2019 natural distribution cannot be accurately described.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It is a deciduous or semideciduous tree that grows up to 18 m in height and 50 cm d.b.h. <\/span><\/div>\n
The trunk is straight and the spreading crown is high, irregular, and made up of dangling branches. <\/span><\/div>\n
The leaves are paripinnate and made up of 10 to 20 pairs of oblong leaflets that are 3 to 6 cm long and rounded or obtuse at the apex and base.<\/span><\/div>\n
Cassia grandis<\/i> is used as an ornamental to beautify streets, avenues, parks, and gardens. <\/span><\/div>\n
The sweet tasting and bad smelling pulp of the fruit is edible and is used as a laxative. The wood is hard and heavy; it is used in rural areas for home construction, sheds, and structures for roofs and in cabinet- making.<\/span><\/div>\n
The pink to purple flowers turn salmon-color with time and are arranged in racemes. The species blooms in spring, and fruits (legumes) ripen in summer.<\/span><\/div>\n

Yes for confirmation of these pink flowered Cassia species you need close up of flower to see swellings (present or not), stipules and leaf hairiness to differentiate.<\/p>\n

\n
yes please tell us, …, where is this tree?<\/div>\n
We have some in Belur, across the river from Calcutta in a garden, there too some guards guard these trees very well…<\/div>\n
SO what’s with this tree that on the west coast of India and here on the east coast of India they guard this tree and its surrounding so well?<\/div>\n

yes, good set of photos with minute characters<\/p>\n

And I think it z Cassia javanica<\/i> subsp. renigera<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

Cassia renigera<\/i> has longer filaments swollen in the middle<\/span>, not seen in above flowers. In addition C. renigera<\/i> has large reniform stipules almost 2.5 cm broad,<\/span> whereas C. grandis<\/i> has minute stipules not larger than 2 mm<\/span>. Although leaf base is not clearly seen, but stipules appear to be much smaller like Cassia grandis<\/i>.<\/p>\n

yes\u00a0Cassia grandis<\/i><\/p>\n

Thank you all! Could someone please tell me the key feature by which this was confirmed as ‘grandis’<\/i> ? I searched on net but it was difficult for me to find the key which will help me to differentiate between various species of pink cassia.<\/p>\n

\n

The thick, woody pods are immediately indicative of Cassia grandis<\/i><\/span> as against the slender, cylindrical pods of some other pink cassias<\/span>. The immature leaflets of this tree are of a characteristic coppery colour, some of which can be seen in your second pic. The flowers of this tree lack the three swollen yellow stamens of C. javanica <\/i>etc.<\/span> If you take a close look at the flower, one of the petals will have a yellow base (not evident in your photos).<\/p>\n

Please send a better picture of the\u00a0 close up of the flowers showing the stamens arrangement.\u00a0The close up photograph sent by you is not clear as it is difficult to visualise\u00a0the stamens arrangement.<\/p>\n

\n

I think it should be Cassia grandis<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>L.f.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Gliricidia<\/a> : 10 posts by 6 authors. Attachments (2)
\n<\/span>An avenue tree of small to medium size<\/span>, Is it \u00a0<\/span>Gliricidia maculata<\/i>?
\n<\/span>Prantik, March 17, 2009<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Certainly not <\/span>Gliricidia maculata<\/i>, can we have bigger pictures? closeups may be. I think it’s <\/span>carambola<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Links for Averrhoa carambola<\/i> inflorescence, if it helps:

\n

gliricidia is very light purple, almost white.<\/p>\n

\n

It is neither Gliricidia<\/i> nor Averrhoa<\/i>. In my opinion it is pink
\ncassia<\/i>. Here is a link of a variety of pink cassia but of a lighter
\ncolour. I have both the varieties at my farm in Wayanad in Kerala.

\n
I agree with …
\nIt’s <\/span>Cassia javanica<\/i> (Java cassia, Pink shower tree, Pink Lady, Appleblossom Shower) – though there are many varieties in it.
\n<\/span>See the link for lots of pictures: <\/span>http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?q=Cassia%20Javanica&w=all&s=int<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Definitely appears to be one variety of Pink cassia.<\/p>\n

\n

These two images appears close to images of Cassia grandis<\/i><\/span><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

Looks like cassia javanica<\/i>, commonly seen in many parts of the city .<\/p>\n

\n

it is Cassia renigera<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

Looks like cassia javanica<\/i> , commonly seen in many parts of the city .<\/p>\n

\n

As the filaments does not seem to be swollen, it should be <\/span>Cassia<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>roxburghii<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>DC.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0as per images & keys herein<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

…\u00a0may please send a close up please. The point raised by … is pertinent.<\/p>\n

\n
Re-opening an old thread…<\/div>\n
Attaching cropped pics to show the swollen filaments and the mucronate tips of the leaves.<\/div>\n
Would request for feedback from the experts.

\n

It seems Cassia grandis<\/i> as per inflorescence and leaf type and shape of leaflets.<\/p>\n

\n

Arrangement of stamens and pod structure are very important in differentiating species of Cassia<\/i>.\u00a0Hence post appropriate pictures for proper ID.<\/p>\n

\n

agree with\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n
