Sacred beauty ! Temple grove Chidambaram: This Orange flowering tree looks very similar to - Cordia subcordata Beach Cordia, ironwood
Plant Height 10 -12 feet
Leaves alternate, 12 cms Flower size -3cms Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu 18 May 2008 Cordia sebestina. Orange Geiger Tree, Broadleaf Cordia, Geiger Tree, Largeleaf Geiger Tree. Its unusual to see an exotic tree, with less or no ethnobotanical or cultural value as in this case, as a sacred plant in Indian temples. I guess its just an ornamental, garden plant and not a "sacred" tree. Since by definition, nothing is added or taken away from a sacred grove... this must have been a naturalised /volunteered specimen... brought in by the wind or birds... etc... an escapee from gardens finding sanctuary in a sacred grove... fantastic...love it could this be Cordia sebestena? http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Scarlet%20Cordia.html

It is a treat to see the scarlet colour flowers in clusters This is what D V cowen says about the plant in her book FLOWERING TREES AND SHRUBS IN INDIA
" We have many indigenous Cordias in India, but the loveliest of them has its home in the Caribbean Islands and the northern coast of South America, and was imported to this country and Sri Lanka and the Philippines many years ago because of its ornamental value.----------------Here we find the Scarlet Cordia as a small tree or garden shrub, but in its native haunts, in the sandy, sun-baked conditions it loves, it can reach 12 m.
