I have featured many trees here , some more than once - like todays tree which find its second dedicated post.
I am not sure why..maybe it doesn't have flamboyant inflorescence or is uncommon...
Yet it's a very useful tree especially it's fruit. Reetha or Soapnut is a traditional washing soap . Ideal for delicate fabrics especially silk and also as a shampoo. Some still use Reetha even now.
Here is a lovely Sapindus trifoliatus or S laurifolius of Sapindaceae family in full bloom. The same premises has yet another glorious tree that is largely ignored. This one has its home at a prime spot hence easily noticed (and due to the name plate).
There's another variety called Sapindus emarginatus but it's leaves are slightly different and have a notched tip.
A beautiful native tree that you may have seen.
