Family: Caesalpiniaceae (Gulmohar family)
Anjan is a medium or large deciduous ornamental tree. The bark of saplings is almost silvery white and smooth, gradually changing as the tree gets older to dark grey and rough with irregular vertical cracks. In isolated situations, or on poor soils, the tree tends to branch low down and produce a short bole, but when grown in a fairly crowded crop on favorable soil it produces a long, cylindrical bole with an elevated crown. Flowers are small, pale yellowish-green.
