To me it look like Albizia procera I also feel it is Albizzia procera. Family Mimosaceae I had been observing these very large Albizia procera trees in Mrutunjay temple area of Kothrud. Pune First time got a chance to observe the flowers from close. Luckily some branches drooping down had few inflorescences. Generally it is difficult to get a glimpse as the tree is7-8 floors tall. The flowering season is Jun July as against its brother Albizia lebek which is more common in the area which flowers in April. Never observed in Bengal !! This is very common in Balaghat and Seoni area A. procera 'The Safed Siris' Mine pics of leaves trunk from Herbal Garden Samalkha Panipat Fabaceae-Mimosoideae (Mimosaceae) Week albizia procera: Albizzia procera my place in alibaug
Fabaceae-Mimosoideae (Mimosaceae) Week: Albizia procera Pune.: Albizia procera किनई Excellent and Complete set Common/Local Name: Kinai, White Siris, Doon Siris Family: Mimosaceae Photographed on: 08th Jan., 2012 Photographed at: Barvi Dam Forest, Badlapur, Maharashtra. Habitat: Deciduous forest Description : Unmistakeable Albizia for its pale yellow bark and Rufous brown fruit pod, occasionally common. Tree for ID - VAI26122011: Sorry for not attaching the images with my last post on this subject. Please help with ID. Plz id this tree: pa99 - 28feb2013: Plz id this tall tree from Yeoor region. Flowers and fruits are not there but I took some pix of the leaf from diferent angle (6 images). This is Safed Siris [Albizia procera]. Sending a few photographs. Albizia procera makes a good canopy tree. I am looking for a few saplings to be planted at my farm.
Tree For ID : Jim Corbett,Uttarakhand : 230614 : AK-44 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2). Tree seen in the forest on 17/5/14. ... , your expertise has prompted me to post these pictures. Syzygium? Syzygium are generally evergreen trees. My guess would be Safed Siris [Albizia procera]. It is also think that it is Albizzia procera. After seeing these additional images and matching them with type, I now agree with ... who suggested that it seems closer to A. procera. Albizzia procera's trunk should be light grey.
Tree ID Request - Guess is Safed Sirish (Albizia procera) : 16 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (1) Date/Time- 15-Sep-2018 Location- Place, Altitude, GPS- Ruby More, Kolkata Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type - Urban Plant Habit- Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb- Tree Height/Length- 50 Feet Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- Twice Feathered (bipinnate) Inflorescence Type/ Size- Small White puff ball like in cluster Flowers Size/ Colour/ Calyx/ Bracts- < 3 cm Fruits Type/ Shape/ Size Seeds- not seen Other Information like Fragrance, Pollinator, Uses etc.- Trunk is whitish and branch-less for 20 feet or so are you sure. its not that weedy khirkadam, thats all over esp the lake gardens bridge? does this tree have fruits hanging? You can compare this with Albizia odoratissima, as per the close-up.
Please send better pictures for proper ID. It is better to avoid PiPs. Not sure. Actually I do not know khirkadam. Could you share scientific name. Also I have see pics in efi. They look very promising. Will send a few more snaps shortly. Did not notice pods yet. I am not aware of khirkadam tree. - what is the scientific name of that? I guess this is not black shirish as well as this has a very tall bole before branching, one of the characteristics of white shirish. Sending some more picture of the tree. Attachments (3) a close up of the bark. Attachments (1) i meant Acacia leucophloea we have case, one where i said khir kadam is this thread Nevermind. your tree's leaves and total height and habit are very different. Not an acacia PS now lets see what Acacia experts or taxonomists have to say I had checked with my keys which directed me to Albizia odoratissima. Now you have to confirm by authentic matching. To me it is not Albizia odoratissima but procera, based on the following 1. Color of the bark in this case is yellowish white without vertical fissures but in A. odoratissimais is blackish and with vertical fissures 2. Leaves are four pair of pinnae, each has roughly 8 pairs of slightly angular egg shaped light colored leaflets In A. odoratissima both the number of pinnae and leaflets more, leaflets are oblong and of darker color 3. Flowering A. procera Jul - Sep, A. odoratissima Apr - Jun And I got a confirmation from a relative of mine who is from jangle Mahal of Bankura distrct. She told she has these safed siris trees in her garden (naturally grown from local jungle) and those and the one in my photograph are same. Attaching a close up of a leaf Attachments (1) Earlier I had seen only the first image with an inset of a portion of the flowering twig posted on 15 Sept. Now I have seen the three images posted on 16 Sept. Yes, they are identifiable to Albizia procera (Roxb.) Benth., occurring in India (almost throughout), tropical Asia and Northern Australia. Below given is a request from Swagat ji in a different thread. May I request members to post pictures, details etc. for discussion. "Hi all, I have heard about some other species also.... ........... 2) Albizia mollis - लाल शिरीष ........... Would like to know more about it. I am a little disturbed. What is the aim of this site? That one goes out with a digital camera anywhere, snaps pictures of a some flowers, trees or bushes, and uploads them to the site for identification? Is our site only an identification parade? At the same time it would be interesting to know whether there were the same number of requests for identification before the advent of DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY? Take the case of Albizia. Wikipedia lists not less than 171 varieties of albizia. In addition there were 34 varieties which have now been shifted to other trees. Choose any three varieties adn ask info on this site_ well is the site acting as a research assistant? I am sorry if I am saying something which may not be liked by many of our friends. But what is the objective of this site? i.d and i.d. and i.d.?? Incidentaly albizia procera is tall albizia, probably very common in India, but the more common probably is albizia lebbeck (Kala siris). Kala and Safed is because of the colour of the bark. Albizzia julibrissin (var. mollis?) which is also known as albizia mollis (lal siris) is pink siris or Persian silk tree. This has the speciality of tolerating very cold weather as well. Albizia mollis syn. albizia odoratissima var. mollis is Ceylon Rosewood. I dont know why MOLLIS is a variety of both albizia julibrissin and albizia odoretissima. Maybe because of sililarity of flowers or bark? But my favourite is the raintree (Albizia saman) with pink powder puff flowers and a spreading lovely crown. Whenever I stayed at Panaji Circuit House, I used to stare at the lovely raintree which they had at the back of the building. I dont know whether it still survives there. Sory for my outburst again. Several mails on Albizia appeared in the last few days. It is the flowering season of the Albizias, I would have liked to see some photographs, particularly to distinguish one from the other. Some of the species can be distiguished by the stem colour, but not always. The common species which are found in India, 1. A. amara- have yellow fragrant flowers, a common avenue tree in S. India 2. A. labbek- the desi siris, with spreading crown, beautiful pinkish flowers, the colour is due to the coloured stamens. in most of the Albizia sp. the petals are either absent or inconspicuous. Women folk often use the flowers (cluster of flowers on a head, again each flower has a cluster of coloured and long stamens, giving a silky appearnce- often also known as silk plant.) to adore hair style and as ear ornament. 3. A. stipulata- a common shade tree in Tea and Coffee plantation 4. A. procera- almost like labbek, known as safed siris- for whitish bark 5. A. odoratissima- the black siris, often known as Fragrant Albizia, a common host of lac insects. 6. A. julibrissia- has two vars. A. julibrissis var. julibrissia- the persian silk tree and A. julibrissia var. mollis or A. mollis- the red or pink Albizia, the young stem is densely hairy , flowers light pink, not so attractive as A. labbek. 7. A. saman or Samanea saman or Pithocelbium saman - the rain tree, mostly with golden brown flowers, sometime pinkish. An Avenue tree and shade tree, perhaps the most common of the species. All Albiziz flowers attract a number of birds with pointed beaks, as flower peckers, humming birds. About two centuries back Alexander von Humboldt in his famous S. America Expedition found a rain tree in Venezuela in which he took much fascination, It had a crown with circumference slightly less than two hundred meters, and he was told that the plant was 500 years old. In Bengal village old labbek trees were once common, but they are becoming rare now. 'Albizzia procera' is called 'Kinai' 'किनई' in Marathi. Photographed at Durgwadi, Dist. Pune, Maharashtra Date- 30th Oct 2009. Please confirm the ID. ..., this one for you: Hindi: Safed siris. Beng: Koroi. Mar: Kinhai. Tel: Tella chinduga. Tam: Kanda vagei. Kan: Bellate.
