Dr. Gurcharan Singh Thank you Dr Singh. I know autumn is not the best time to identify trees. I am attaching another photo of a green leaf I plucked from the tree today and it shows no fine-toothed margins. There were larger leaves than this but they were all bronze.I also suspect it to be a prunus or pyrus. May be we need to wait till spring.Thanks and regards, Ashwini Yes leaf looks different, but if you are sure it belongs to the same tree we may have to locate a tree with flowers in raceme, 5 fused carpels with superior ovary. Hope to get in soon.Dr. Gurcharan Singh To me it resembles to Lyonia ovalifolia (Ericaceae).DSRawat Pantnagar efi page on Lyonia ovalifolia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ashwini Bhatia <ashw...@ashwinibhatia.com> Date: 3 December 2014 at 17:41 Subject: [efloraofindia:207973] Yet another tree for ID/ABDEC07 To: efloraofindia <indiantreepix@googlegroups.com> I apologise for putting in too many ID requests, but I have the energy today and I am sure you will excuse me. This tree has really gnarled trunk/bark with deep fissures running along its length. The leaves turn bronze in autumn. The specimens around are mostly small to medium size.
