Woody shrub for Id 10072013CS1

[Chitra Shanker]

This plant was being used in panchpatra kashayam in a village. From my gleanings it loks like Wrightia sp possibly W. antidysentrica. Can some body identify this woody shrub.

By looking at the spent fruits seen in the picture, I guess this to be of Wrightia pubescens. More details may be helpful.

wow where could you see the spent fruits. I did confuse between the two species. Both are hosts to the leaf webber observed in abundance on the plants. The damaged leaves turned a bluish grey. THe plants are all in this stage and I could not get any more details. I may visit teh village again so hopefully get flowers etc. Thank you for the ID

Brilliant Dr.Vijayasankar !  It is now called Wrightia arborea [Tambda kuda]. My photographs of this are available at these links :

Thanks Dr. Neil. Your posts with detailed pictures are very helpful.

I opted the name W. pubescens because Flora of China treats this and W. arborea seperately. The latter species is characterized by the fruits with prominent lenticells (white dots on the surface!) which are obvious in the pictures of (fresh) fruits posted by you. I could not see such lenticells from the pictures posted by Chitra ji here.

But, I think you are correct by calling the posted plant as W. arborea due to the probable size of the fruits, which are seemingly narrower in W. pubescens.

Chitra ji, the dried and dehisced fruits (of the previous year) are seen just above the fingers in the 2nd picture.

Thank you

Hello everyone,

sorry to say that it doesn't look like Wrightia arborea to me......The leaf shape and numbers of lateral nerves are not typical. In the W. arborea I know there are usually 10 - 12 lateral nerves and the leaves are broader in the middle.
If the leaves are tomentose (not sure from the picture) then could it be S. tinctoria ssp. rothii which has puberulous leaves? Otherwise the shape as well as the old follicles look to me like W. tinctoria.

regards
Radha
