My photographs of this are available at this link : Google Groups There appear to be 6 pairs of pinnae. Will you try to count these again. This may be A. ferruginea then. A. catechu will have 20-30 pairs Thank you ... for specifying the distinctive characteristic. There seem to be only 6 pairs of pinnae My apologies. ... is right. I stand corrected. Bannimara in Kannada. Associated with Mysore Dasara activities. Sacred tree grown in temple premises.

Please help me to identify this small tree found in a scrub forest of Sathyamangalam. I could not see the plant in flowering or fruiting condition. Local people told me this is Vanni (Tamil name) that refers to Prosopis cinerea.

Please ID this wild plant captured growing by the roadside near Panshet dam, Pune in May 2014. This is different from another plant I posted today, in that the leaves seem to have 3-4 pairs of pinnae, while that had around 8-9 pairs. Is it the same? A similar plant next to this was identified on efi as Acacia ferruginea, however the leaves had 6 pairs of pinnae. not tamarind by any chance? Likely to be Acacia ferruginea. I somehow overlooked this post. I support ... Botanical name doubt : 11 posts by 4 authors. I would like to know the correct name of Vanni/ Banni tree which is considered as one of the "star trees". I have come across various names including Prosopis cineraria, Prosopis spicigera, Acaia ferruginea etc. and am quite confused! Banni as such refers to Khejri, Prosopis cineraria. This species is typical of the Thar landscape and is a popular choice for fodder and its pods are consumed by humans when dry. (a part of Panchkuta). Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druceis the valid name. (P. spicigera is synonym), In Tamil It is called Vanni, whereas in Kannada it is called Banni. Khejri Tree • Gujarati: Semi • Hindi: Jand जंड, Khejri खेजड़ी Khejri • Kannada: Perumbai • Marathi: शेमी Shemi • Oriya: Shami • Tamil: parambai, Vanni • Telugu: జమ్మీ చెట్టు Jammi chettu There is always a confusion as to which of the trees Acacia ferruginea or Prosopis cineraria is Banni. In Karnataka especially in Mysore the tree which is worshiped as Banni mara or Shami vruksha is Acacia ferruginea and during Dasara Maharaja worships the same tree and at the end of the Dasara procession he cuts a small branch. More over, I have seen these trees planted in many temples and they also call it as Banni mara. Here, in Karnataka one which is worshipped as one of the 'star trees' is Acacia ferruginea. Hence for me there is no doubt that Banni is Acacia ferruginea. In Tamil Nadu many people call Prosopis cineraria as Vanni. In Kannada it is known as Perumbai. It is the state tree of Rajasthan. Acaia feruuginea, Kaigar Khair is I believe not really an Indian species I believe, even if found all over the subcontinent in the drier areas. Thank you, ..., for the clarification. The book " Stars and Trees, Trees of the Nakshatravanam" brought out by Thenmala Ecotourism Society and TBGRI, gives the name as Prosopis cineraria. I assume it differs from place to place. Thanks for the message. For me it is always Acacia ferruginea. The information is useful because now I know that the seeds I got from a tree said to be Banni must be A.ferruginea. I would appreciate your inputs on the link below as I am a bit confused.
Acacia ferruginea - Rusty Acacia Tree - Vanni - in full bloom in lalbagh very beautiful: I could not attach the image as it keeps removing after posting. here is the link Shami vruksha or Banni mara in Kannada. During Dasara the Maharaja of Mysore used to worship the tree and cut one branch of the tree after the dasara procession on 10 th day. The place is Bannimantapa in Mysore. The tamil vanni is Prosopis cineraria. I thought vanni is same as banni - i will change it to banni only

MS/April/2020/9 ID of the tree. : 5 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) Please ID the tree. Photograph received from a friend in Chennai. No other photograph is available. Could this be a species of Prosopis. No, does not look like any Prosopis as per comparative images herein. May be something like Senegalia ferruginea (DC.) Pedley as per images and details herein. Thanks Garg ji. I checked it further. It is not a tree but a bush. Later I checked with my collections of Acacias' leaf characteristics. It tallies with Vachellia farnesiana, also known as Acacia farnesiana, and previously Mimosa farnesiana, commonly known as sweet acacia, huisache. ID character is the needle like ends of the leafy branch (another name needle bush for this reason) . References: |
