Dolichandrone spathacea (Linn. f.) K. Schum. is obviously not a MANGROVE species in India.... it is considered a Mangrove species in Singapore... which mostly grows back of the mangroves...
anyone can locate this species in semi-evergreen forest or deciduous forest,, mostly near some forts.. in Maharashtra... Its common name is Medshingi... dont know from where Samudrashingi name came.... Plant is Native to Asia and New Caledonia -- - H.S. A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone
