MS-020312 -79 ID requested - Bignoniaceae: Herewith sending the photographs of a tree species taken in Mysore garden. The tree is blooming in leafless condition.

I think this is Radermachera xylocarpa (Khadshing) The tree in question here is Varas [Heterophragma quadriloculare]. Have both on my property. The main difference is in their barks and also Varas is generally never leafless while flowering. Sending a few of my photographs.

Tree ID request - RK71 - 26-Dec-2012: Request identification of this tree from Tungareshwer. The leaflets are velvety and I thought this is Garuga pinnata. The tree no. RK66 that I had posted yesterday was also identified as Garuga pinnata ... I'm confused because that tree had leaflets with prominent pointy tips which are lacking in this one. It is Hterophragma quadriloculare (Bignoniaceae), Agreed this is Varas [H.quadriloculare].

Attachments (2) Pl id this tree seen today at a dehuroad mh hill. It is on a fully rocky hill. Very hardy. Heterophragma quadriloculare. Lovely fragrant flowers around this time. Thank you ... for making a quick id. It always give me happiness to meet a new tree and be able to recognize it. What wondered me is that I'm visiting a near by similar hill since a decade now which do not have this "waras" tree. This new hill is barely two KM and it has some new/different tree varities like this one Waras and Bhutya tree. There was one more same tree having few flowers - but it was bit burnt by fire (deliberate). Now, will be looking for it to bloom and see pods and bees on it - lets see how it goes.
