jacaranda
pretty much every piece of indian fiction ive read so far has some reference or other to a jacaranda tree .. i have no clue what the hell this tree is .. is it so ubiquitous that every novel must mention it .. or am i so oblivious to obvious implied references (e.g. mythological/emotional/romantic related to the tree) .. dont even know what that tree looks like!

looks like it bears the 'december' flower, or so they called it back home - a violet flower that is in the shape of a bell.. and wikipedia turned up a bunch of references to SA(pretoria is jacaranda city!) and Brazil etc none to india
shame on me for not googling/wikipedia .. oh the guilt the guilt!
