Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.
Some earlier relevant feedback:
“Dr Mahta,
Why not Maytenus senegalensis ?” from Rajesh ji.
“That's one of the things I considered Rajesh ji,but according to the keys Maytenus senegalensis is an 'armed' plant plus what really was decisive was the hair on the veins below, both FoM & FBI mention it, though the latter calls it puberulous and the former hispid.
I will also like to point out that certain features [in this case - hair on the leaf under-surface] are missed in the field & appreciated only on post-processing. My field id was Maytenus sp.
I am still open to correction provided a logical reason is given.
Trust that answers your query.
Regards,
Samir Mehta”
Dear Mahta, Garg ji
I confirmed this with Ms Jordaan, the authority on the genus Gymnosporia. This is definitely a good species but it should be listed as Gymnosporia puberula M.A.Lawson. It looks very different from Gymnosporia senegalensis. According to a number of studies it is now very clear there is no species of Maytenus in India or anywhere else but South America.

Dear All.
I would very much appreciate seeing a picture of a ripe fruit of a species of Cassine. The colour and shape is very diagnostic of the species.

Dear Surajit Ji, Garg Ji
Thank you very much. I am specifically very much hoping for photos of fruiting specimens of Cassine albens (which are better known as Cassine glauca), Cassine paniculata, and Cassine grossa. See Kostermans in Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore, 39: 177-191 (1986) Title: Notes on Asiatic Cassine)). As well as Cassine kedernarthii published later. Any additional photos of the flowers and leaves too will be appreciated.
With best wishes, Robert

Dear Surajit Ji
There have been many nice photos of Cassine here on efloraofindia. Since the size, shape and the colour of the fruit is so very diagnostic of the individual species in the genus, I am very much hoping that new photos with ripe fruit could be posted of the same plant or population as the original. The fruit take a long time to ripen.
With best wishes, Robert
