tree for id, mm1 27012012:<\/a>\u00a0tall tree,\u00a0binsar\u00a0wildlife sanctuary<\/span>\u00a0near almora<\/span><\/p>\n

saw these\u00a0tall trees<\/span>\u00a0almost\u00a0all the way down to haldwani\u00a0<\/span>which is where the mountains turn into plains<\/div>\n
the bright yellow flowers<\/span>\u00a0were just beginning to bloom last week<\/div>\n
wondering if this tree can be identified<\/p>\n

may be\u00a0Acacia decurrens<\/i><\/p>\n
