First pic Pinus wallichiana. Look at the needles.
Second pic wallichiana with roxburghii in the foreground. Now look at both their needles.
This is some thing different.

Cedrus deodar. Look at its needles.
Now listen to a story that folk tales and names tell. Frangipanni(Plumeria) Frangi points to Franks and panni to water, The plant that the Franks brought over the water. Same way Acacia. There is a Mona kikar. Now Mona is not a normal name before 1700's. This name points to another famous Mona. Another one, Villayti kikar, Angrezi kikar, Kabuli kikar. Villayti points towards UK. Angrezi towards British, now this Kikar has thorns and its botanical name is Prosopis juliflora, sad but it has thorns. The point is, some things don't belong to this area so take the Databases with a pinch of salt and there are Prosopis with out thorns and they look like Acacia Blinking .
With regards and hope you can solve it,
KAMasud.
