Although the leaves look like Ficus parasitica, the figs are born on
pendulous leafless branches.
In Ficus parasitica in the figs are in the leaf axis mostly paired from a
node (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/5494138338/).
Therefore the plant in the picture is not Ficus parasitica.

Somehow I am not convinced with Ficus gibbosa. Not sure, but acumen of
the leaves are forcing me to go with F. cyrtophylla. Leaf base are
also unequal here.

Please use the following link for a good key for the genus Ficus in Flora of
China, that can be used for Assam as well. We usually need specimen in hand
for most of the characters for running the key for Ficus.

There are two closest species A. anomala and A. viridissima which are
closely related to this both both endemic to China, one extending to Taiwan.

Hi Dr.Giby & Dr.Navendu,
As I had stated previously, the tree in question here is Lagerstroemia
lanceolata [L.microcarpa] locally called Seena / Bhondara.
The photographs are not clear enough to comment on the colour / texture of
the leaves. However the leaves are clearly lanceolate and the f

Nice photographs !!!. This is now called Madhuca longifolia var.latifolia.
The local name is Mohua. Have also got larger saplings of all the plants you
have just sent on my farm. If you would like to see photographs of anyone in
particular please let me know and I post them here
@Neil: What you are saying could be correct. The leaves of what cook calls
parviflora are indeed more lanceolate than those of what he calls
lanceolata. However L. lanceolata was previously called L.microcarpa (tiny
fruits) so the size of the fruit of this plant matches L. parviflora better

It is a sp. of *Sparassis*. Most probably *S. crispa*. It is known as known
as cauliflower fungus. This does not have pores on the underside but have

Plumeria pudica is also known as fiddle-leaf plumeria, for which technical

Dear Puttarajuji this is a bryophyte and is called *Cyathodium cavernarum*
Very common bryophyte and commonly found in the low land areas along
ground, cement walls, on rocks, ladders of temple, on clay soil with humus etc.
Thallus thin, light green, tufted, dichotomously divides, rhizoids smooth,
