Fabaceae-Mimosoideae (Mimosaceae) Week :: Acacia torta at Harishchandragad: Came across this climbing Shrub at "Harishchandragad, Maharashtra". (30-11-2009). Bot. name: Acacia torta Family: Mimosaceae Habitat: Wild Flowers white in globose head, Leaves 2 - pinnate, pinnae 5 to 10 pairs, leaflets 10 to 25 pairs. Nice photographs !!! Please check these 2 links for my photographs of this: Fabaceae-Mimosoideae (Mimosaceae) Week :: Acacia torta in Matheran and Kumbharli Ghat: Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib a-KAY-see-uh or uh-KAY-shuh -- from the Greek akis, meaning point, barb, thorny, spiny TOR-tuh -- twisted Mar 5, 2011 ... somewhere along Kumbharli Ghat, Maharashtra commonly known as: twisted acacia • Hindi: अलिया alia • Marathi: चिल्लारी chillari Native to: India, Pakistan, Thailand References: Flowers of India • eFlora • NPGS / GRIN more views: Feb 19, 2011 ... at Matheran, Maharashtra This fruit is of Shikakai (A. sinuata ) and not of A. torta (Chillari or Chillar), A. torta pods are flat.. Looking at the flowers I have a feeling that all your photographs except first one belong to A. torta The first photograph clearly looks like belonging to A. concinna (Willd.) DC. (syn: A. sinuata (Lour.) Merrill. Could you kindly confirm whether all these photographs belong to the same individual, or taken fro different individuals at different times. The numbering seems to support these being taken at different times. Yes ... Only the first one does not belong to A. torta (earnest thanks to ... for pointing my mistaken ID) ... sighted on Mar 5, 2011 ... somewhere along Kumbharli Ghat. All the rest are sighted on Feb 19, 2011 ... at Matheran, Maharashtra, and for sure A. torta Did not dare to elaborate it to avoid adding to confusion.
This may be Acacia caesia. http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Twisted%20Acacia.html I think the synonymy part in FOI needs a revisit. It looks me acacia caesia too. I hope Acacia torta. Yes sir, happy to get id.... thanks a lot ... for resurfacing such an old mail..thanks a lot ... and ... for id.. yes this is Acacia torta syn. A. caesia As per Flora Of Davanagere District: Karnataka, India By B. K. Manjunatha, V. Krishna, T. Pullaiah (keys & Description) , Acacia caesia auct. non. Willd. is a syn. of Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib. As per Flora of Ranga Reddi District Andhra Pradesh, India By Thamminen Pullaiah, M. Silar Mohammed, difference is very minor as given in brackets- Acacia caesia (L.) Willd. (branchlets glabrous) & Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib. (branchlets rusty pubescent). In view your plant should be Acacia torta (Roxb.) Craib. (Acacia caesia auct. non. Willd.). Thanks ... for elaborating...
Alagarkoil 061013 TBN Acacia? concinna/torta for validation (mixed thread): Attachments (4). 3 posts by 2 authors. Please identify this plant details of which are as follows: Date 29.09.13: Location :Bison valley, Alagarkoil Altitude :2000ft Habitat :wild Habit :thorny straggler Height :on trees Leaves bipinnate: Flowers :pink Fruits :pods ? resembling Pterolobium hexapetalum (Is there a mixup- two stragglers with similar leaves? ) TBN 1 a & b is Pterolobium hexapetalum (Caesalipiaceae) and TBN c & d is Mimosa intsia (Mimosaceae). Thanks for the id. I understand from the net that Mimosa intsia is a synonym of Acacia torta. If so, are there two varieties: one with white flowers and the other with pink flowers? Please clarify. I agree with ... id. Yes ..., Acacia torta has two forms as mentioned by you.Main Difference between : 3 posts by 3 authors. Tell me the difference between the Acacia Pennata and Acacia Torta ^ Thorns straight; rachis glandular between 4 uppermost pinnae.......A. torta ^ Thorns recurved; rachis glandular between 2 uppermost pinnae.....A. pennata A. torta Leaf-pinnae c 13 pairs, c 4 cm long; leaflets 35-40 pairs, c 5 × 2 mm; rachis puberulous. Heads c 1.3 cm across, paniculate. Flowers white. Pods oblong, falcate, compressed, up to 12 × 2 cm. Seeds c 8. A. pennata Stems dull white. Leaf-pinnae 10-15 pairs, 3-5 cm long; leaflets 40-60 pairs, elliptic-oblong, c 4 × 1 mm, base truncate, apex acute. Heads 1-3 per cluster, in terminal racemes, c 1.5 cm across. Flowers c 3 mm across, greenish white. Pods broadly oblong, flat, up to 15 × 3 cm, stipitate, horned. Seeds 6-10. Thanks, ... But the following did not give any differences based on the thorns. Pl. clarify. The best way to distinguish Senegalia caesia (including S. torta) from S. pennata is that, in S. caesia and S. torta the main vein of leaflets are starting centrally or subcentrally from the base whereas in S.pennata they are starting marginally from the base.
Mimosaceae Shrub for identification MK NOV-002 : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (7). Please help me to identify this Acacia sp. Inflorescence: c.2cm across. Habit: Thorny Shrub (Liane too). Habitat: Dense scrub / roadside. Location: Coimbatore Dist., TN (seen in many such habitats). Date: 01 Nov 2014. Alt.: 650 M ASL the leaflets are minute (like that of Albizia amara) Acacia- species in eFIoraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) This is most probably Albizia amara (Krishna Siris). There are variants. Therefore, please also check for the subspecies. I think it is Acacia caesia (L.) Willd.(=Acacia intsia Willd. var. caesia (L.) Baker ) It cannot be Acacia caesia. The arrangement of leaves flowering type etc. are quite different. Please see the links http://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/263281 To me it looks like Acacia torta. Compare with Acacia torta and A. pennata.
ID plzz??is it Albizia chinensis??no inflorecence fruit is present, from lahore Pakistan : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5) I think it's better to wait for flowers. However, check with Albizia chinensis (Osbeck) Merr. I don't think this is Albizia chinensis. OK Thanks mam, then any idea about its species? You have to search in Acacia, to be more precise, Senegalia rather than Albizia. Flowers or fruits are required for confirmation. Thanks, Tapas ji, fro genus id. Appears close to images of Senegalia torta (Roxb.) Maslin, Seigler & Ebinger as per comparative images of Senegalia species in efi. Yes .., The leaves are identical.
