¿ fruits of any Casearia species ?

[Dinesh Valke]

Hello friends,

 

What could be these fruits of ?

 

Habitat: scrub forests on plains at about 2200 ft.
Location: Kamshet, near Pune
Date: 2 MAY 2008

 

Search results for Casearia species have its leaves serrated or hint of serration; makes me think this plant may not be any Casearia at all.

ID please.

 

Regards.

Hi Dinesh,    They are the fruit of Casearia esculenta locally called Kirmira or Kulkulta.                            Regards,                               Neil. --- On Wed, 3/25/09, Dinesh Valke <dinesh...@gmail.com> wrote:

NEW QUERY ...

 

... attached here are 3 photos of a leaf-less small tree, about 15-20 ft (at Nagla block of Sanjay Gandhi National Park - 22 MAR 09), with fruits almost all over its slender branches.

These fruits seem so similar to those of the small 4 ft shrub posted earlier in this thread, leading me to believe this one to be again a species of Casearia.

... could be ¿ C. elliptica, C. esculenta OR any other ?.

... in the earlier part of this thread, Neil ji has provided local names for C. esculenta, in Marathi as Kirmira or Kulkulta.

 

Calling Marathi knowing friends ... please validate these spellings:

 

किरमीरा

कुळकुळटा

 

Will also be glad to know about their dervaitions / meanings.

Marathi spellings appear to be fine.

Hello Kannada knowing friends,

 

.... doddahanise, hillange, hillehanise -- these are the kind of common names (found at ENVIS - FRLHT, Forest Flora of Andhra Pradesh) for C. esculenta, the esculent-leaved false kamela.

Please let know whether any or all of these make sense; or suggest the correct names.

[JM Garg]

This should be Casearia graveolens (syn. Casearia ovata (Lam.) Willd.).

Casearia zeylanica (syn. C. esculenta) is different as per images and details herein.

Thanks very much, Garg ji,

It is already labelled so in my flickr photostream.

Regards.
