Salicaceae (including Flacourtiaceae) fortnight willow family *Flacourtia* ¿ *montana* / *indica* ? Dear friends, The plant in this post is confusing me. Though I have labelled it as *Flacourtia montana* it seems to be not. Please validate. I have put all the photos - hopefully any / one of them may prove useful in validation. *Habit*: large shrub (small tree) about 4 - 5 m, seemingly unarmed *Habitat*: on gradual slope, mixed deciduous forest, about 350 ft asl Reason for confusion is the leaf shape and venation. Comparatively denser flowering. Not able to recollect whether the plant was armed or not - looks unarmed. Recent sighting of *F. montana* was comparatively a larger plant - about 7 - 8 m ... close to water course. at Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary on 17 APR 09
