Honagalu mara in the Western Ghats

Terminalia paniculata also known as the kindal tree.  A hardworking timber, and scientists are discovering wonderful medicinal properties in the bark.
The forests around Dandeli abound in these tall and magnificent trees, and seemed to be the main tree species around.
The delicate white flowers hummed with insects
And I could not stop admiring them




The fpale white flowers then fruit and seed into reddish brown winged seeds, similar to T Arjuna, bringing a flaming red to a few of the trees we saw.
