I think it is Neolamarckia cadamba Common names: Burrflower tree, Leichhardt pine, Bur-flower-tree, kadam, cadamba, Kadamba, laran, हरिप्रिय, कदंब Family: Rubiaceae (coffee and gardenia) Origin: Tropical Asia and Australia

But, gosh!, I wish it would be easier to distinguish it from very similar looking tree Nauclea orientalis ! The flowers are look exactly the same - both these trees have unusual globose flower-heads - the lightly perfumed, with small orange-yellow petals and protruding white stamens, and stick out collectively from a central point, giving the inflorescence the look of spiky tennis balls, about 5cm. Also they have very similar large glossy simple leaves and squishy yellow blob flruits.

Actually, Neolamarckia used to be Nauclea genus, but now it is separated. In Australia they share common name Leichhardt pine (not a pine at all!) because usually they have distinctive horizontal branching (not as obvious on my untidy tree, photo below). However the "proper" common names are: Nauclea orientalis - Leichhardt tree, or Cheeswood Neolamarckia cadamba - Leichhardt pine, or Burrflower tree, Kadam. Named after the German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt.

One web source says the difference between two in its "placentation mode" - What?!... I managed to ID my tree by looking on the leaves and bark: - leaves of Neolamarckia are broadly lanceolate with an acute (остроконечный) apex, rather than ovate to obovate leaf with a rounded apex as in Nauclea. - Nauclea bark is deeply furrowed, while Neolamarckia bark is smooth in young trees, rough and longitudinally fissured трещиноватый) in old trees.

A few more facts I learned about Neolamarckia cadamba: - size of the tree 25-45m - Synomyms: Nauclea cadamba, Anthocephalus cadamba - The globular soft fruit is about the size of a golf ball and is reportedly edible., taste like raw mango, (some were on the ground and I tried it!). See the third photo below. - In India Kadamba is a sacred tree associated with Krishna. - From Kadamba flowers the wine made is called Kadambari which was invented by Balarama (elder brother of Krishna) - A type of honey is made from the flower which is also called Kadambari.
