In this Nature blog I will deal with 1) wild trees and plants of Gambia. 2) birds of Gambia. 3) insects and other animals of Gambia. Started 20th of June, 2011. My main Gambia blog is here: www.ritvasgambia.blogspot.com where I write about other aspects of life, not nature.

Bauhinia rufescens
Updated Tuesday 21st June:
Barry helped me out again! This is Bauhinia rufescens. The flowers seem to be white.

Sorry for the colour quality of the second picture. I edited it too much. The colours should be something between the first and second image!
This is a small tree (big bush) that I collected seed pods from. The leaves look like small bauhinia leaves. Very small indeed, only 1,5 - 2 cm each half. I saw no flowers at the time, so no idea of them. Unfortunately I missed to take a picture of the whole tree. More or less it was impossible because these grew as a very untidy, never cut dense "hedge" by the road. They were 4-5 meters high.
Barry gets seeds from this one. Noname - his favourite!
