Sighting: Bangalore, Karnataka, about 800 msl 

Date: 08-03-2016


Perhaps Callistemon pallidus
Thanks, ... Do you have an habit picture ? Was it at Lalbagh ?
Yes ... it was at LBG... forgot to mention..... But I do not have more images
Forwarding a habit picture as desired by you
Image dt 08-03-2016 @ Lalbagh Botanical Gardens
From images of Callistemon pallidus at the following, it does not seem to match:
http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/content/lemon-bottlebrush-pallidus.htm
Seems to be some species of Callistemon.
To me it looks close to Melaleuca bracteata of Myrtaceae.
A picture of the tree could have helped.
I have seen and photographed the above at Lalbagh.
Thanks ... I endorse your views. I have uploaded the habitat image as a supplement  in this thread on ... request. Kindly examine the image.....or else I will upload again for your reference.
Thanks ... for the habit image. It does look like Melaleuca bracteata to me.

Need help in identifying this ornamental tree - seen in corporate real estate in Bangalore - Thanks in advance!
Though a distant shot, yet I can guess, Melaleuca sp.

Calliandra species for ID - 181012 - RK:  Photographed at Lalbagh, Bangalore - 15/10/12 - 10.30am. First time seeing this in profuse bloom:) Request ID.
I meant Callistemon species! I make this mistake frequently.Please excuse...
Callistemon sieberi DC
Stamens are occurring in bundles, suggestive of Melaleuca and not Callistemon
Looks like one of the Melaleuca species
Melaleuca armillaris, (Sol. ex Gaertn.) Sm. <=> Bracelet Honey Myrtle Tree
Is this the above one?
I had photographed the same flower in Lalbagh during visit to Bangalore in July.
Since light was very less and branches were swaying in the breeze, I couldn't get reasonably good pictures.
So I did not post them on our group.
On searching in flowersofindia.net, where I generally search for common names, I found Melaleuca bracteata to be the closest to my flower. Common name Golden Bottle Brush.
Kindly have a look and confirm if its the same.
I think close to images at Melaleuca bracteata F.Muell. as pointed out by …

Requesting to please ID this tree captured in the Ooty Botanical Gardens, Ooty in November 2013.
The placard states Melaleuca leucadendron. However, I think, the leaves don't match the images in efi.
Requested to please ID.
Pics. very less clarity ...
Attaching a cropped pic if that helps.
