It doesn't matter anymore. It's a dead plant.

Strip the trunk bark lightly by fingernail or cutter if you see any green there is hope. No green no hope.

Also try to bend the branch it will be pliable if there is life inside. Dead branch usually brittle and snapped easily.

However not all species can be identified this way. This was the advice I got for my dying variegated Madras Thorn.

My dying plant sprouted a set of leaves near trunk base. I repotted this plant from polybag, immediately put fertilizer, bad soil and over watering. About one week later it lose all the leaves.

Around two weeks later after I follow each detailed instruction I got from an advice. It grows more vigorous now. I will take photos when I get back from work.

Hope this help.

For the plant ID, I couldn't help. Sorry.

Blackwood, I was not referring to your post :)

The original tree posted is a goner. The bark is peeling off. The reddish shine to the bark indicated as a probably cause, overheating / sunburn
