Mallotus sp. Hooghly 22-01-13 sk1

[surajit koley]

Sir,

I think it is rather a big shrub, because i couldn't find its tree like trunk. The overall appearance is like the one in my earlier post (https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/a3uQPRPzQP0/discussion), but :-

• inflorescence is much smaller
• 80% leaves are shallowly cordate
• not sure if these leaves can be called slightly peltate
• i selected one of the biggest leaves and with longest petiole to show leaf size
• couldn't find any stipule

Species : UNKNOWN

H & H : about 20 ft or more tall; in a village thicket; longest inflorescence seems to be about 6 inches long

Date : 22/1/13

Place : Hooghly

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit

Sir,

I am very sorry that i made another mistake while trying to correct inflorescence size, the inflorescence is 5 inches long or smaller.

However, i think this plant is Rottlera dicocca of Flora Indica.

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit
