Albizia odoratissima : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4) Albizia odoratissima (L.f.) Benth. syn. Albizia odoratissima var. mollis Baker syn. Albizia odoratissima var. lebbeckifolia Haines I found this flower on the forest floor @ Yeoor last April. Not seen the tree or fruits. Id is based on keys* above. Also perused the keys at FoC & Fl Pak. It is pertinent to note that Albizia odoratissima & Albizia procera are very closely related (morphological). The calyx is pubescent in Albizia odoratissima & glabrous in Albizia procera. My identification rests on this parameter as calyx length was not measured. Different keys use varying parameters but I have found this parameter (calyx pubescence vs glabrous) to be consistent across descriptions in various texts. I have gone through most threads on the group site, if not all, which were labelled as A. odoratissima or A. procera in the group archives. There is considerable confusion / assumption wrt identity in these posts, hence this post. Open to discussion/ correction. Colour of the bark? Characteristic in Albizzia procera Further, I am going by key features (calyx pubescence, length) and bark color is supposed to be a distinctive but not a diagnostic attribute of either species. I have not seen this shape of leaflets in A. odoratissima. In some sources calyx of A. odoratissima is said to be pubescent as well. I have never seen A. odoratissima in SGNP or surrounding forests and it is likely that your photos are A. procera. have you discounted A. lebbeck? I just saw your flowers were found in April so that is a very likely choice. ' ..calyx of A. odoratissima is said to be pubescent as well' - Of course, my id is resting on that attribute (please see my initial post). 'have you discounted A. lebbeck?' - No; It could be Albiziz lebbeck as I see the gland between the distant leaflets (DSC04506) and am posting another image (DSC04504) which may be a gland at the base of the petiole. Taken together they suggest A. lebbeck. Now I remember, the reason I decided on A. odoratissima was because I considered the inflorescence to be a panicle (c/f heads axillary) plus clayx pubescent. Thank You for your inputs Attachments (1)

Fwd: Tree in Srinagar uttarakhand with diff bark features.plz identify : 7 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (3) Please clarify whether all the pictures are from the same tree. The third picture looks different. The second picture showing the bark with numerous small raised spots are known as lenticels commonly seen in Leucaena leucocephala . They help in exchange of gases similar to stomatas in leaves. pic 2 and 3 are different and so which tree gave you those seedpods? The pods and leaves belong to Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. (Leguminosae). The bark in the last picture has a good growth of lichen, the circular grey spots.
