Melia azedarach,
a deciduous tree with red-brown bark, typically grows to a height of
5-10m, occasionally reaching up to 20m, and has a diameter of 80 cm,
inhabiting sunny areas in coastal districts. Leaves are alternate,
30-80cm long, of an imparipinnate compound leaf; leaflets measure
3-6cm long, 1-2.5cm wide, in an oval-like oblong, with long pointed
tips, asymmetrical bases, and obtuse serrations on margins. Cymes
emerge from axils on current-year branches and set many light purple
flowers; petals are 5 in number,8-10mm long, in an oblanceolate
shape, and open flat. Fruit (drupe), 1.5-2cm long, oblong, matures
in yellow-brown in October-December. Bloom time: May-June. |
