Usha di,

This was a small potted plant.

Had taken only two pictures....one of them is on flowersofindia site.

There is a tree in the plant nursery as well.

I am eager to take more pictures...but missing out the flowering during my visits to Jijamata Udyan.

Hope to catch it sometime.

Satish ji, H S ji will be able to id I hope.

Hello all
it the tree pic is of the plant opposite to the office, then this is
Atalantia monophylla. Aarti ji in your pic one of the calyx which is
visible seems to be split to the base, which is diagnostic character
for A. monophylla.

Hi Ushadi ji
i am attaching a pic with black square which at first i thought it as
split calyx; but i feel thats not the case. however, it is still
Atalantia monophylla , as the stamens are combined to forma tube and
the flowers are in terminal contracted cymes. (Cooke flora 1: 187)

[ushadi Micromini]

Thank you Satish...
if this is Atalantia monophylla, then I have flowers to see in this thread to go with my pictures of the tree trunk, leaves and ONE fruit https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/indiantreepix/atalantia$20monophylla/indiantreepix/fxc7qLicxl4/Mxt8axl4sJcJ... not seen it in flowering stage... missed it somehow...

Thank you for explaining.

Satish ji,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

This was a small potted plant in the plant nursery.

Thanks for the id.

There is another medium sized tree at the corner inside the nursery, overlooking the huge circle with plants inside.

Usha di, Rajesh ji thanks for your inputs too.

Regards,

Aarti

Hi, Aarti ji,

May I request you to pl. post high resolution images to correctly determine this plant.

Currently it was identified as Atalantia monophylla by Satish Pardeshi ji, but it appears as Atalantia wightii in the FOI site.

Garg Ji,

Here is the original image.

In my first digital camera, the pictures taken were not of very high resolution.

Regards,

Aarti

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Aarti ji.

It is Atalantia monophylla only.

Is this the same image as at Atalantia wightii in FOI

[Aarti S. Khale]

Garg Ji,

Yes, both the images were taken on the same day.

My Rutaceae from Lalbagh is also Atalantia monophylla only as identified by Lalithamba Ji.

Regards,

Aarti

[J.M. Garg]

Ok, Aarti ji.
Needs to be corrected in FOI site.

Yes this looks like A. monophylla. I must have incorrectly identified it as A. wightii on FOI site.
