Hello friends,

I found this plant (looks like a scandent shrub, probably woody and branched at base, further branches seemed tender)
... growing among thicket of many other plants along road side in the ghat section near Karnala Bird Sanctuary on 31st March 09.

Requesting ID.

Regards.

Dear Dinesh,

I think this should be 'Mappia foetida".

... dear Prashant ... Ajinkya (plantscape at flickr) believes this to be not M. foetida.
Will wait for comments from other friends.
 
Thanks and regards.

Yes Satish ji, many thanks to you and Devendra ji ... but I am not yet able to get to exact species, whose habit is more of a scandent shrub.
(I do not know if I am mistaking it to be a shrub).
 
Any other species found in the Western Ghats, besides listed below ?
 
Cordia dichotoma (syn. C. myxa)
C. gharaf (syn. C. rothii)
C. monoica
C. obliqua
var. tomentosa
C. octandra
C. wallichii
 
Regards.

... resurfacing this query.


Comments until now:


Prashant Awale ... I think this should be 'Mappia foetida".

Satish Pardeshi ji ... I am sure this plant is not Spermadictyon or Hamiltonia as it does not shows the characters of family Rubiaceae. This plant seems to belong to the genus Cordia L.

Devendra Bhardwaj ji ... Look like cordia.




Regards.

This is Cordia and most probably C. montana, but dissected flower for confirmation.

Milind ji............................It is Cordia, however dissected flowers needed for identity of the species.

Many thanks Gurcharan ji for resurfacing this query.

With hint of Cordia sp. from Devendra ji and Satish Pardeshi ji, I strongly believe this plant to be Cordia monoica Roxb.

Regards.
Dinesh

Thanks, Dinesh ji.
I am not convinced as per images at Cordia monoica Roxb.
To me it appears closer to Cordia domestica Roth (syn: C.fulvosa Wight) as per POWO and GBIF- specimen and FoPI.
CoL considers these to be a syn. of Cordia dichotoma G. Forster unlike POWO.

Ok, thanks Garg ji.
I will tentatively label it as Cordia domestica, until it gets validated otherwise.
There is one photo on flickr taken by Lalithamba ji, which made me think of my plant as C. monoica.
Regards.
Dinesh
