MS-012311 - 9 - Bauhinia racemosa: Bauhinia racemosa ? Photos taken during October 2008 in Curzon park Mysore. Small tree 
but from the jizz, the tree does look like Apta [Bauhinia racemosa].
Forgot to mention - a white flower is seen at the top of the third photograph and, if you use your imagination, also at a few places in the second photograph.

This tree was seen by me in 2007 at the garden and again a couple of days ago.
Name was given as Anjan by the Horticulturist ...
Leaves resembled that of Bauhinia, but were much smaller.
Is this Hardwickia binata, also known as Anjan?
Negative. This is Apta [Bauhinia racemosa]. Please check these links : Google Groups 
Thanks ... The name suggests Bauhinia racemosa only, but leaves were smaller in size.
I am familiar with B. racemosa.
Will take it as Bauhinia racemosa since you know better.

Would like the ID of this tree. Found near Hosur, Thally area.

Bauhinia racemosa i think. did you take pictiures of the whole tree, trunk, bark. any flowers or lingering fruits?

Thank you ... There were no flowers or fruits. Attaching two more pictures of the whole tree. Not very clear though. Have to improve my photography skills!

No doubt, it is Bauhinia racemosa only.
The picture now sent is of B.racemosa. But not the photographs sent earlier.

I will go for Bauhinia racemosa Lam. only as per comparative images at Bauhinia

Yes it might be Bauhinia racemosa Lam. but cannot be confirmed in the absence of flowers and fruits.
