Diospyros for ID : 250511 : AK-3

[Aarti S. Khale]

Taken at Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai, Maharashtra on the 9th & 15th of April, 2011.
A medium sized tree.
Sorry for the bad picture quality as flowers were high up on the tree.
Found a fallen fruit and flowers.

Are flowers and fruits from the same tree as the third photograph with leaves and flowers?. The second photograph looks like that of D. malabarica (syn: peregrina) but leaves of third photograph look to be similar to D. montana (syn: D. cordifolia). The leaves of malabarica are mostly shining, much longer than broad. The flowers are ivory coloured and almost as long as broad in D. malabarica. The colour does resemble D. montana but I have never seen such a long corolla tube (comparing lobes) in any species of Diospyros. The calyx also looks different from both the species.

Thanks H S ji for the id.
I have pictures of two more species from same place,but seem to be
getting confused with the actual names & id.
One was posted by me much earlier....that fruit has a slight tapering end.
Regards,
Aarti

Gurcharan ji,
Sorry to have missed out on your post as I checked my mail id
first....so saw your mail later on our group id.
The flowers on the tree were photographed on the 9th of April, when I
revisited a week later,found these flowers & fruit under the same
tree.
I think Prashant ji had posted the same earlier but I missed out on
the id.

Most probably D. malabaricum of Ebenaceae family. 

Please let me know whether the fruit has persistent calyx or not?

D. ebenum and D malabarica are not Synonyms they are different species.
