Dear Sir, I'd be interested to know why you say it's probably R. triqueter. I had also found this plant and had been undecided about the exact species.
It's true the 2 are very similar but R. triqueter is native of the Western Himalaya and the Salt range in the Punjab. According to Cooke R. triqueter has been found at 2 Deccan hill forts, Purandhar and Kori, and was likely planted there for medicinal purposes. Rhamnus wightii is rare but it is native to parts of the Western Ghats and has been recorded from other forts as well as exposed hills in the Lonavala area. Please will you share your views and experience with this plant? best regards Radha On 28 January 2013 13:51, Nidhan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, Rhamnus sp. probably R. triquetrus.. > > On 1/28/13, Prashant Awale <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks Radha ji for the ID.
