Elaeocarpus hainanensis

[radha veach]

This appears be a small tree with flowering branches close to the ground.

Elaeocarpus hainanensis seems to be correct: few flowered racemes, leaves clustered at ends of branches,

Hello

I am taking the liberty of uploading pictures of the flowers of the same tree (I think) from the TMC garden (Dattaji Salvi Udyan, Kopri).

Could these pics help to nail the ID?

Thanks and regards

In Elaeocarpus sphaericus leaf shape is oblong, fruit is globose, whereas in Elaeocarpus hainanensis the leaf shape is elliptic, has acute tip, fruit also elliptic with pointed tip. I saw this tree growing in GKVK garden, Bangalore.

[radha veach]

Santhan ji is correct.

In Elaeocarpus sphaericus the racemes have many flowers and leaves are more evenly spaced on branches. It will never flower when it is such a small tree.

[navendu page]

Yes, the leaves are quite different from E. sphericus, this plant matches well with Elaeocarpus grandiflorus

[Alka Khare]

It is a bit confusing for me...

It is not E. sphaericus, should we now take it as E. grandiflorus or E. hainanensis?

Thanks and regards

Alka Khare

[J.M. Garg]

Taking it as Elaeocarpus grandiflorus as per efi thread:

E. grandiflorus is with broader leaf compared to those of E. hainanensis.
