Family: Anacardiaceae Date: 29th April 2015 Place: Tumkur-Hassan border, Karnataka Habit: Tree Habitat: Scrub forest I only knew about Buchanania lanzen. Differences? ..., apart from the botanical differences of tomentum and other features etc. B. axillaris is found in the hard, dry scrub forests of south India. I have seen in the scrub forests of Hassan (as of this thread) and Bangalore. I also know that it is found in large numbers in Andhra Pradesh. Maybe someone who has been to that region can shed some light on this! Photos of flowers and habit shots along with necessary details which had been missed earlier.
