GOLDFRONTED CHLOROPSIS: I was at Pachmarhi during 1981-1984. That is the time I got interested in birds , butterflies and plants. I used to record bird calls in the wild. One day I heard a sweet call which was coming from a mango tree near Pachmarhi lake. The call was not familiar to me so I wanted to locate the bird. With great difficulty I could locate the bird. I could identify it to be Goldfronted chloropsis or Leaf Bird ( with the help of Salim Ali's book on the subject).
At this place I have photographed this bird on the flowers of Bottlebrush, Thunbergia Mysorensis, Rose Apple. Butea Monosperma and Calliandra. This bird is a good mimic. I am sure you have seen this bird somewhere. To refresh your memory I am attaching an image of the bird taken today.

Rambling shrub or small tree with branched pinnate, silky leaves and powder-puff-like balls of conspicuous dark crimson stamens. Calliandra haematocephala is a fast growing shrub that can grow tall but also spreads wide. If desired it can be kept smaller by trimmed. Interesting enough the leaves close at night. The red powder puff flower are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds but only appear from November -April. The buds before the flowers open look like raspberries. This large shrub can be grown indoor if trimmed and grown in a pot but it will be best if you can grow it outside in a warm climate Ref. Flowers of India Superb catch again ... and the squirrel too is good one.

Requesting to please ID this shrub captured in MNP, Mumbai in April 2014. No flowers or fruits were seen. This was growing wild along the pathways in the garden Calliandra haematocephala albaThank you ... for ID.... The leaves looked bigger than the Calliandra haematocephala, is this the case for the 'alba' variety? efi page on Calliandra haematocephala Calliandra- species in India & eFI with details & some keys. I think it is better to watch out for the plant to bloom. The alba variety has larger leaflets and is often a larger more sprawling plant.
