Kadamba species? For ID - 160708MG1

[mal...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Here are some Kadamba photos taken at Vrindaban on 12th and 13th July 2008. It would be great if someone can identify the bird as well shown in one of the photos. This tree flowers from late March till the rains start. It has a wonderful fragrance and can be smelt from a long distance when in full bloom.
This tree looks different than the ones posted earlier on the group. Here are the earlier links:

http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/1e3a89429cbd8745

Can someone confirm whether these are two different species, they are two different tress for sure.

thanks,
malyada

Hi Mr.Garg,
There appears to be some confusion. Malyada has shown photographs of Neolamarkia cadamba [Anthocephalus cadamba] locally called Kadamb, while you are talking about Mitragyna parviflora [a different tree] which is called Kalamb or Lagu Kadamb.
Regards,
Neil.

Hi, Neil ji,

The links she has given is of Neolamarkia Cadama (these were earlier posted Indiantreepix links), while attachments (her photos) are those of Mitragyna parviflora.

 

[Anand Kumar Bhatt]

I agree with Gargji. This looks like kaim. So is it finally settled
that Krishna Kadamba is Kaim and not the Kadamba of wet climate?

I guess so. I will wait for someone to post his/her views in a couple of days, otherwise update the subject line with the appropriate identification. I have realised one thing though. The deeper you go about finding a particular species, the worse it gets on the internet.

Just a suggestion - can we get someone who is an authority on indian trees to confirm what we find. I was alarmed at the number of plants that have been wrongly identified. With everyone becoming an expert on the internet, its very tough to distinguish thoroughly researched information from someone's guess. We need expert confirmation to have a database which is factually correct.

thanks,
malyada

In Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh Anthocephalus cadamba is known as Kadam. In Chhattisgarh, Mitragyna parviflora is known as Kalmi. In Niyamgiri hills of Orissa, Mitragyna parviflora is known as Kadam. Here are links of Anthocephalus as well as Mitragyna pictures

Here sweet dish Kheer Kadam is popular. It looks like Anthocephalus flower.

In Kawardha district of Chhattisgarh, Anthocephalus trees are in abundance. The Historians associate it with true Champaran and claim that true Champaran is in this place.

Hi Mr.Garg and Malyada,

Neil.

The tree in the picture is indeed Mitragyna parviflora. Local names
differ so that may be a cause for confusion

Malyada:I am keen to know whether all the kadamb trees in vrindavan
are Kaim or it is a mix of kaim and kadamba.

Hi Shiva,

This is the photo of Neolamarkia cadamba, a non smelling flower. I
have seen a lot of these trees in g. noida, mostly smallish ones,
probably as they have been planted anew. The flowers are a darker
shade of brown, and do not smell at all. While Mitragyna parviflora
flowers (the photos i had posted at the start of the thread) smell
profusely. The latter is known as krishna kadamba or kaim.

thanks,
malyada

YOU are right

it does not give out any fragrance.

How do you differentiate both the flowers

other then  the sweet smell!!!!!

cheers

In kaim the flower looks more hairy because of protruding stylesWhereas in Kadamba at least in the pictures the globe like flower cluster is not so hairy. But the real distinguishing feature is the leaves.Kadamba leaves are softer' greener, and more beautiful. They are pointed. Whereas in kaim the shape is roundish.
