PTEROCARPUS INDICUS

It had been a while since I saw the pod of the Pterocarpus indicus from the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) Family. They used to be everywhere when I was still studying in the primary school.

But now, the trees are pruned so frequently that there are hardly any flowers. Even if there are flowers and seed pods, they would be swept up by the roadsweepers once they are shed onto the ground.
