Good evening Neil Sir

Found flowers of Haldina cordifolia in the net, very much like Neolamarckia cadamba!

Thank you very much.

Feedback from Surajit ji from another thread:

"the same tree was identified as Haldina cordifolia - https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!topic/indiantreepix/2RJkoF6rwdQ and has been placed under - https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/r/rubiaceae/haldina/haldina-cordifolia" (instead of Mitragyna parvifolia).

 

In view I shall be taking it as Mitragyna parvifolia unless l there is a feedback to the contrary.

Hi,  The tree in the photographs I have opined on is Haldu [Haldina cordifolia]. Have plenty of trees of both Haldu and Kalamb [Mitragyna parviflora] in my forest at Shahapur and my photographs of both are available in the archives of this group. Here is one such link :   https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/Mitragyna$20parviflora$20Neil$20Soares%7Csort:relevance/indiantreepix/xoPuAOnkI90/7HF3vY4PrtQJ                  With regards,                  Neil Soares. --- On Sun, 5/5/13, J.M.

Good morning Neil Sir

I understand that these photos (in this post) are not sufficient to draw a conclusive id. So, i waited for the flowers. More so because at that time i also received a personal mail suggesting the id as Mitragyna.

At the time of my 2nd post (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/indiantreepix/JDJBPh4R4mU) I noticed several of your uploads of Mitragyna in many posts, including in threads of other members. That is why i was more confused.

Finally, in my 3rd post i concluded, after finding these illustrations -

1. http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=45005
   
2. http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=61263

• http://plantgenera.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=150616
  
• http://plantgenera.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=162159
  

I found that these flowers are nicely scented. Can you please tell me if Haldina cordifolia flowers are also scented?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

surajit

Hi Surajit,  Haldu flowers do have a scent, but they are not as aromatic as those of Kalamb.                 Regards,                   Neil Soares.

Good evening Neil Sir

Flora Indica is silent on aroma of both the species, instead it stressed on the descriptions of wood.

Thank you very much.

Hi Surajit,  Am sending a few more recent photographs of mine here and some of Haldu in a separate mail.

[surajit koley]
