Spondias pinnata: Two large trees with similar looking panicles were observed in Pune University Bot. garden recently. The first one is from Family Anacardiaceae. Spondias pinnata. Marathi : अंबाडा A friend mentioned the name "Gadha Neem" but I could not find anything when I searched using this name. looks like Melia azadarach Strangely the leaves are looking different. ... a guess (could be a bad guess) ... species of Swietenia ? After seeing … answer, I read about Swietenia and I feel it could be Swietenia mahagoni. Why not Toona cilliata?
Attaching some of my pictures for comparison. Yes .. this seems to be Spondias pinnata Do take a look at: Importance and Problems in Natural Regeneration of Spondias pinnata

ambada and jungli ambada for id mm1 23102011: the image labelled spondius pinnata was planted by me a few months ago 826 and 827 are images of a tree which has grown on its own. its crushed leaves have a strong manago fragrance, much stronger and nicer than the planted one the boys call it jangli ambada the size of the leaflets is much bigger, about seven inches or so, the color is darker and the leaf itself is thicker is it a different spondius species i would very much appreciate an identitification
Tree ID request - RK81 - 6-Jan-2013: Requesting identification of this tree from Tungareshwer. Leaves and flowers not seen but there were fruits as seen in the photo. The fruit size would be roughly around 4 cms. Spondias pinnata is my guess! Yes, Spondias pinnata. If this is Spondias pinnata, its called Jalpai in bangla... Had thought of Lannea coromandelica but they are more ovoid than the more spherical ones as seen here of Spondias pinnata
Hooghly : Spondias sp. : 4 images. 6 posts by 4 authors. There is ID key in an earlier thread - https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/jcFuDmvS3CE/discussion, but it differs, to some extent, from the "Bengal Plants". (i) leaflets 4-6 jugate, quite entire -------- S. mangifera Willd. (ii) leaflets 6-8 jugate, crenate-serrate ------- S. dulcis Willd (Not Parkinson). But, then the "Bengal Plants" is a century old and the key, ".... Leafless when flowering", suggests this plant is Spondias pinnata (L. f.) Kurz. Yes it is Yes Spondias pinnata A distant relative of Mango (both belong to the same family Anacardiaceae) it is known as 'Amra' in Uttarakhand. Fruits are sour and edible, more after pickling. We too call it AMRA. And Bengal Plants lists it as Spondias mangifera Willd. Bengal Plants has another AMRA, S. dulcis Willd., featuring 6-8 jugate leaflets with crenate-serrate margin. In kannada Amte kai, used for pickles. Right now (25.5.13) available in the Mysore market.

Goa, May 2015 :: Requesting ID of this tree :: ARKJUN-10/21 : 10 posts by 7 authors. Attachments (2) Please ID this medium sized tree captured near the Mangeshi temple in Goa in May 2015. melia azedarach... mahanimb?? It is not Melia azadirach or Melia dubia for sure. Please check for Spondias species. Not able to get full details from the picture. Hence, I am not sure. Thanks for the possible ID, but I think the leaf margins differ. Any wild chances of it being Spondias pinnata or Garuga pinnata? oh ok! Spondias species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available)Garuga pinnata is usually leafless while fruiting. Spondias spp. have alternate leaves as against this specimen. Spondias sp, Looks like Spondias sp., BSI recognizes 4. Assuming fruits are more than 1 cm it is S. pinnata (L.f.) Kurz. Please ensure number of leaflets not more than 11. Thank you ... for the feedback..... Thanks ... for the links. All the leaves in the pic do not have leaflets exceeding 11, also I think the fruits exceed 1 cm, as they looked bigger even from afar. So I guess, this should be S. pinnata
I have two earlier threads of this species, yet I upload three sets of pictures of three specimen to show variability of leaflet size and number of leaflets (usually upto 11, but can be 13 or even 15 as in the first set of a young tree, yet to flower or fruit). Crushed leaflets smell strong of green mango. Here is the first set with largest leaflet and one leaf showing 15 leaflets.
The fruits of S. pinnata are 1/4 th to 1/3rd of the fruits of S. cytherea. Well done, …

A medium sized tree with ping pong sized fruits for i.d. Nameri reserve forest, Assam Isn't it Duabanga grandiflora as per details picture at link?: http://www.arbolesornamentales.com/Duabangasonneratioides.htm & http://tropicalplant.air-nifty.com/top/images/duabanga_grandifloraa7s_2.jpg I am afraid it is not. In Duabanga leaves are much slender, moreover, the fruits have persistent calyx like structures, even when they are well developed. Moreover, the fruits have suture like markings, which these fruits do not have. ... could it be Spondias pinnata ? ... commonly known as: Andaman mombin, Indian hog plum, Indian mombin, wild mango Thanks ...- that is a good posibility. the chances of this being Spondias pinnata is less as it has more number of leaflets, but this is some species of Spondias, more closely to Spondias cyatherea (the number of leaflets are ) commonly known as Vilayati Ambada. correct me if i am incorrect. ... I will rather stand corrected in this case ... I am not familiar about Spondias beyond S. pinnata. Pl. refer to my mail dated 7th Aug.09. I posted two pics one of Spondias pinnata and the other S. dulcis. This one with more number of leaflets is likely dulcis, and the other pinnata. Thanks to all for help identifying the plants. I think it should be Spondias pinnata (L. f.) Kurz as per keys and details at Spondias
A small tree from Bhalukpong, Assam. I.d. requested Seems to be Terminalia chebula, i suppose. certainly not Terminalia chebula. but sorry cant guess more Checkout for Spondias species I think it should be Spondias pinnata (L. f.) Kurz as per keys and details at Spondias
These are two diffrent plants from Bhalukpong in Assam. I had sent their photos earlier. On the insistence of ... and suggestions from ..., I looked for Spondias in the website. As they both came to be Spondias (hogplum) I put them now side by side for comparison. One with rust coloured fruit is likely Spondias pinnata, and the other I think it should be Spondias pinnata (L. f.) Kurz as per keys and details at Spondias with green fruits Spondias dulcis. Pl. confirm.
