Herewith sending the photographs of Enterolobium cyclocarpum. Common name Elephant Ear Tree. Photographs taken in Chennai 11-4-2008. Confirmation of ID requested. Yes it is Enterolobium cyclocarpum (Jacq.) Griseb., a South American species introduced as ornamental tree in India.
the species was clicked from Chandigarh and is growing happily here... the two (timbouva and contortisiliquum) are synonyms. the attached photo is that of enterolobium contortisiliquum. this is a synonym for Enterolobium timbouva. however the species Enterolobium cyclocarpum is different. the main difference being in the pods. in cyclocarpum the seed chambers are visible in the form of marked individual constrictions on the surface of pods but not in case of contortisiliquum. please refer the two links below http://www.winrock.org/fnrm/factnet/factpub/FACTSH/Enterolob.html for cyclocarpum and link for contortisiliquum I think it should be Enterolobium cyclocarpum (Jacq.)

Attachments (2) wonderful. how large does the trunk get and total height. is this planted. single or a naturally self propagated stand ??? sorry i have lots of questions It is a very large tree with a trunk diameter in excess of 1.5 m growing to a height of more than 25 m. I have not seen a natural stand. It was planted by the Forest Dept. in the mid eighties to nineties in Tumkur Dist, Karnataka. Recently the FD has given up raising them in the nurseries. Many trees were cut down to widen the roads. No demand for wood. Not fit even for fuel since it produces lot of smoke and no calorific value. poor tree. nobody wants it but the folklaore says no botanical specimen is without some value only we have not discovered what that is yet Rightly said.

I see both in Pradip Krishnen’s book as well I have IISc Flora by Sankara Rao, both says same name. In that case we should find out about both species on reliable sources on net and decide. I think I have done that when I decided on my stated species. However, it can be further checked. On further checking, I could not find the keys or differences between the two species on net. Pl. see the distribution of both species as per ILDIS: Enterolobium cyclocarpum (as per Sanjappa, M., 1992, Legumes of India. Dehra Dun: Bishen Singh Mahendra..., who is the authority in India on this family) (Introduced all over the world) Enterolobium contortisiliquum (hardly introduced anywhere) I view, I will rely on authoritative sources and go with Enterolobium cyclocarpum Thanks all very much for leading to correct ID ...
