This is Sonu Kumar, I'm a nature enthusiast and a keen botanical observer with a special interest in studying and documenting the small flora and grasses of rocky habitats. I particularly fascinated by the discovery of uncommon species. Finding a new species record for a region serves as a strong source of inspiration and excitement for me. Currently I'm working as a district coordinator kota at BRDS society India.

  • A medium-sized evergreen tree, usually growing 10–20 m tall. It is easily recognized by its dense rounded crown, paripinnate leaves with several pairs of glossy green leaflets, and bright yellow flowers borne in large terminal clusters. The fruits are long, flat, dark brown to black pods containing numerous seeds. Native to Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, it has been widely introduced and planted across India as an avenue, ornamental, and shade tree. It is drought-tolerant and valued for its hard wood,
    fuelwood, and ability to improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation. However, it is considered an introduced species and has shown invasive tendencies in some parts of India, where it can spread into natural forests and compete with native vegetation.
