Sir, another Bridelia sp. is again sending herewith for necessary action.

Hi, Tapas ji,

May I request you to pl. have a re-look.

Images of Bridelia tomentosa at Zizyphus sp (?) from Assam-Jan 2014 looks more closer to this plant.

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Garg ji,

I have now seen all the concerned images including those at Zizyphus.

Well, Bridelia tomentosa  is characterized by the usually narrow leaves, tapering towards apex, the pubescent branchlets, petioles and leaves on the undersurface. The fruits are sessile, globose to subglobose, 4.5-7 mm in diameter, 2-locular, often slightly bilobed. There is a less common variety, var. glabrescens which does not occur in mainland India. As regards the images listed under B. tomentosa as well as Zizyphus (as per your link) have pubescence.  The image by Swamliana ji is also showing traces of hairs on petioles and branchlets which can be clarified through an image of higher resolution. Hence, this may also be B. tomentosa var. tomentosa.

I am attaching herewith two images of typical B. sikkimensis for comparison.

Regards,

T. C.

Thanks a lot, Tapas ji.
