Flora of Sahyadri & Konkan - Dolichandrone falcata: Name of Species: Dolichandrone falcata Common Name: Medshingi Family: Bignoniaceae Conservation status: Medicinal importance Photographed:19th April, 2011 Location: Barvi-Murbad Road, Badlapur, Maharashtra Habitat Type : Forested Hill Road Camera: OLYMPUS SP570UZ Lens: OLYMPUS ED LENS AF ZOOM 4.6 - 92 mm, 1:2.8 - 4.6 Abundence: Known to be common in subjected The flower opens by 20.00h and abscise by early morning hours. Hence we wouldn't see flowers on the tree in the day time. But we get flowers from the ground, beneath the tree, in the day. In a way you are right, but on point of fact, I have seen more flowers on the trees than on the ground even in the late evenings when I am returning to Bombay. Sending a few of my photographs.... as seen they were all taken in broad daylight. Not knowing that the flowers open in the evening(?) Plenty of these are present on the Tekdis near my house. Have seen the flowers during different times of the day but didn't notice this specifically (May be most of my non weekend visits are in the evening) Adding some of my pictures.
Dolichandrone falcata: @ Sagar Upvan, Mumbai. May 2011.
Habitat-Wild Tree height- appx 10 meter Bark- Blackish-brown, rough. Leaves- Compund. Flowers- White. Yes, for me this looks more like Dolichandrone falcata of Bignoniaceae. Affirmative. The local names are Bersing / Medasinghi. Please check the archives of this group for my photographs of this. Yes, there is one in Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, very old, very tall, taller than 60 feet at least... Mr Benthall lists it as Dolichandrone (please note there is an h after the c) spathacea... ... wonder if that's a synonym? Although the plant list lists : Spathodea falcata Wall. ex DC. URL: http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-320745 Yes it is Dolichandron falcata; Medshingi मेडशिंगी Earlier the leaves appeared tome of the size of 'Waras' but they are much smaller than that. Illusion due to close up pictures. There are many trees on Vetal Tekdi. You have mentioned the size of the tree as 10 m. ??? Most trees I found are smaller say max 6-7m.
Could not see the flowers in bloom, only buds in the afternoon. Flowers bloom later in the day, towards evening.
