As per Dr. Almeida's flora the fruit size of A. hirsutus is of a lemon. " ..echinate, the spines(free apices of anthocarps) about 6 mm long, cylindric, straight, hispid, perforate at the apex for the filiform style, edible. Seeds 1-2 cm long ovoid."
The fruits of A.lacucha are "5-8 cm in diameter, lobulate, smooth, velvety, yellow, edible. Seeds oblong few, broad, about 1 cm across". Hence the Pics posted are of A. lacucha only. regards, Rashida. Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 21:03:58 +0530 Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:33930] Artocarpus lacucha Buch.-Ham. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] I think it appears more like Artocarpus hirsutus. The syncarp is spiny whereas in A.lakoocha it is smooth velvety. Let us wait for others comments. Recently I have noticed that Almeida's flora appears to be more descriptive and there are certain differences between it and the BSI Mah flora which I have. You must have checked with Almeida's what does it say about the key related to this?
