Aarti this is lovely! Hope you got a pic of the much-awaited fruit!
Would love to see it:)
This tree is quite conspicuous because of it's shape,etc.I have been
keeping it under observation for years whenever i go to Lalbagh.
Another friend from my birdwatching group has promised to send the
pics to his taxonomist friend to get the id.Really intrigued as to id!

Ranjini ji,
I have also photographed the same tree at Lalbagh last weekend.
Saw a single small, round berry-like black fruit on it.

Dear Alok,
 Well, I have included an updated Himachal and J. and K. list on the
Indian Ferns website (www.groups.yahoo.com/group/Indian-Ferns).  You open
the Home Page, go to New Members and join it (free), then you can open up
Files on the left, and my paper on Nepal ferns etc. gives Himalayan State
lists.  This is soon to be updated to include other States, until all
Indian States' pteridophytes are listed.  But I am a little busy at present
and can't do the expansion for a couple of months at least, though it is
half ready.
 Dr. Alka Kumari at the Himalayan Botanical Research Institute,
Palampur, is also working on Himachal ferns, as has Dr. S.P. Khullar at
Panjab University, Chandigarh, for many decades.
 Best wishes,
Chris F.-J.

[surajit koley]

Good morning Sir.

 Yes, my images tally with *Ficus* *rumphii* as in -
http://resources.edb.gov.hk/~trees2/29/29_photo.html

But,

1) What about "Wavy-leaved Fig" as in - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficus?

2) Again, what about this claim - "Actually, this species is very common in
Bangladesh and is found in abundance in the wild. I was earlier told by
someone that the correct name would be F. infectoria. But some Indian books
had named it F. rumphii. ..." in -
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/57823/

Yet, i understand that this post,
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/ficus$20infectoria/indiantreepix/lfUcX6mGFK4/84WYKEU1wngJ,

Thank you very much Vijayasankar sir; but I imagine the leaves are more

The flowers were taken the previous day (13 Apr 2012) but in a different
location of 300 metres away.

 May I request you one thing. Try to capture the glands at the base
 of mature leaf. I am sure you will do that.
 Unfortunately I don't have good photograph of these.
 I recently learnt that every Terminalia has unique gland structure.
 Why not have good photographs of each?
 This request is even to other members.

 Dear Neil Sir & Pankaj Sir,

 Good evening...

 I am now convinced that the plant/tree is *T. bellirica* as have
 been identified by you. Initially i was hesitant because -

 1) because of the description of 2.15 cm long leaf-stalk as in -
 http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Baheda.html

 2) in my images all leaves originate from the apex of the shoot,
 whereas your imges at -
 http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20p?see=I_PAO1999&res=640 and at -
 https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/Terminalia$20Neil$20Soares/indiantreepix/3xFtSa7jWFo/rq4suJX2k-IJ
 show alternate leaves. Most other images available in the net also 
 tally
 with both of you.

 However, after more search found my target at -
 http://ayurvedaelements.com/resources/spice/Terminalia%20belerica.png?timestamp=1266630963601.
  Moreover, wiki says, "Two varieties of
 *T. belerica* are found in India..." -
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminalia_bellirica.

 Thank you very much for giving me your valuable time and
 identifying this tree. I cannot express my gratitude in terms of words 
 only.

 Regards,

 Surajit

 Dear Neil Sir & Pankaj Sir,

 Good evening...

 I am now convinced that the plant/tree is *T. bellirica* as have been
 identified by you. Initially i was hesitant because -

 1) because of the description of 2.15 cm long leaf-stalk as in -
 http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Baheda.html

 2) in my images all leaves originate from the apex of the shoot,
 whereas your imges at -

 show alternate leaves. Most other images available in the net also tally
 with both of you.

 However, after more search found my target at -
 http://ayurvedaelements.com/resources/spice/Terminalia%20belerica.png?timestamp=1266630963601.
  Moreover, wiki says, "Two varieties of

 Thank you very much for giving me your valuable time and identifying
 this tree. I cannot express my gratitude in terms of words only.

 Surajit

 Good morning Sir and thank you.

 But the leaf stalk is much longer in my post than this description
 "Leaves are 8-20 cm long, 7.5-15 cm wide, on stalks 2.15 cm long" at
 http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Baheda.html.

Dear All,



I am very glad to share with you a good news that the canopy research work that 
I have done in Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu has been 
published as a chapter entitled "Mistletoes in the Wet Forest Canopies: Friends 
or Foes" (Giby Kuriakose, R. Ganesan and M. Soubadra Devi) in "Forest Canopies 
of South Asia-a glimpse" edited by M Soubadra Devi, T. Ganesh and Amrita 
Tripathy (2012) published by ATREE, Bangalore. 
It is not a highly technical research publication. 
Please find attached herewith the cover page and contents of the book. 


I thank all of you for the constant support that encourages me a lot for such 
productive works. 




Thanks and regards,
Giby

Re: [efloraofindia:114031] Quiz : which Ficus is this? from Hooghly

[Neil Soares]

Hi,
 Am reproducing here some of my previous correspondence on this :
 
   25th July 2008
 
Hi,
  Most Fig trees belong to a group called Primary Hemiepiphytes.
A Parasite taps into the vascular system of the host plant for water and 
nutrients.
An Epiphyte only takes support on the host tree while drawing water and 
nutrients from wherever they can get them.
A Hemiepiphyte, by definition, switches survival strategy over its lifetime.
A Primary Hemiepiphyte such as a Fig tree begins life as a canopy epiphyte. 
After a few years having accumulated sufficient reserves, it sends a root 
abruptly down to earth. Once a connection has been established the plant can 
now reach a huge size by sending down more roots. In ‘Strangler Figs’ the roots 
remain plastered against the trunk of the host tree and may coalesce to form a 
cramped basket around the trunk ultimately crushing it to death. The tree 
corpse then rots and falls away and the strangler then continues to grow as a 
regular tree.
In Secondary Hemiepiphytes such as Philodendrons and Monstera- they start at 
ground level as vines and then work their way up into the canopy. Eventually 
the vine’s terrestrial roots become superfluous and its stem dies at the tree 
base and the plant continues its life as an epiphyte.
   With regards,
 Neil Soares.
 
  April 2008.
 
Hi Mr Garg, Sibdas and Dr. Barve,
    In the tropical rain forests, strangler figs start their lives as 
epiphytes in the canopy approximately 200 feet above the ground. [Our specimens 
in the Indian sub-continent are dwarfed by their tropical counterparts.] Once 
it has established itself it sends a root abruptly down to earth. Soon more 
roots are sent down the trunk of the support tree, plastered against its trunk. 
In extreme forms of stranglers the roots coalesce to form a cramped basket 
around the tree trunk. Then as the tree attempts to grow they crush it to 
death. The strangler also affects the support tree by overshadowing it with its 
dense foliage thereby interfering with its photosynthesis and competing with 
its roots for nutrients and water.
  The strangler fig impedes expansion of the tree which is absolutely 
necessary for the trees survival as in the trunk new vessels must periodically 
replace dying ones. If rings of vessels cannot be added by increasing trunk 
girth, nutrients and water cease to flow.
  This is why strangler figs seldom kill palm trees as palms have thick, 
hard barks and do not need to grow in diameter to replace their vessels.
   The Pipal tree seems especially malicious. Starting as an epiphyte, it 
drives roots into the host, literally tearing it apart. The tree corpse, 
cradled in the arms of its slayer then rots and falls away.
    At my farm at Shahapur [near Bombay], I have an old Banyan tree that 
started life as a strangler as evidenced by the void left behind where the 
supporting tree once stood.
[Have not been able to establish the identity of the original tree though].
   Am sending a few photographs as attachments.
  With regards,
  Neil Soares.

Re: [efloraofindia:114029] roadside tree ID from Hooghly 19-04-12 SK-2

[Vijayasankar]

Thanks Dr. Neil. So far I have not seen glands in T. bellirica, so, I would
be happy to see them. Even though I could not see the glands clearly in the
picture, I believe in your own observation. However, Cooke in his Flora of
Bombay Presidency has mentioned that this species has no glands (I am
sharing the scanned image of the particular page, may be in a separate
mail). The dots on the leaf are not glands, I think.

Unfortunately I don't have good photograph of these.
I recently learnt that every Terminalia has unique gland structure. Why not 
have good photographs of each?

Thanks for the info though. Needs to dig further :(

 Good morning Sir and thank you.

 But the leaf stalk is much longer in my post than this description
 "Leaves are 8-20 cm long, 7.5-15 cm wide, on stalks 2.15 cm long" at
 http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Baheda.html.

 Have a nice day Sir

Sir,

I would love to try to capture those glands. But it will be very difficult
for the *T. bellirica*, for i found this one in a place which doesn't fall
into my roaming area (i went there recently for a special training
session). Surely would keep a close watch on *T. arjuna* & *T. chebula*.

Yet, i will try to revisit the BAHERA whenever i get some break.

Thank you & Regards,

surajit

Re: [efloraofindia:114004] Request Identification

[Satish Phadke]

This is *Capparis decidua/Capparis aphylla.*
As the name suggests you will not find leaves.
Local Marathi name : Nepti
BTW
May I request you not to use the simple subject line 
Instead please use line like Plant for ID 20/04/2012 GD1 etc which is your
initials and date. With common subject line the threads get mixed up.

 Good morning Sir and thank you.

 But the leaf stalk is much longer in my post than this description
 "Leaves are 8-20 cm long, 7.5-15 cm wide, on stalks 2.15 cm long" at
 http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Baheda.html.

 Have a nice day Sir

 Regards,

 Surajit

Pl don't worry Satish ji. Surajit ji can't do that :) beacuse T. bellirica
is perhaps the only species (in India at least) that do not have foliar
glands. Sorry to disappoint you :)
However, the posted pictures are of *Terminalia bellirica* as identified by
Dr. Neil. We have observed variations in the size and shape of leaves as
well as fruits in this species.

[efloraofindia:113988] Request Identification

[Ganesh Dhamodkar]

Dear all,
 
I am very happy to find this group on net. My main objective to learn more 
than to tell something new. I have been trying to identify this shrub for a 
long while.  It used to be in abundance near my native place at Manegaon, 
Dist: Buldhana , Maharashtra.  I have not seen this 
plant somewhere else.
 

 


This plant does not have leaves.  It is all sticks.  The photos are taken 
in flowering season, May 2011. The fruits are berry-like and contain many 
seeds.  I've heard people make pickle of the fruits, but never seen someone 
actually making it (local people don't make pickle). Fruits turn pinkish 
after ripening.  The taste somewhat "tikha" plus sweet. Can someone 
identify this? Is any additional information needed?
