Plumeria Seed Pods were observed in Lalbagh on 28th March, 2016.

This is the first time I have seen pods on a Plumeria.

Nice ,i wish i could see its follicles too..because here in Lahore Pakistan,i never saw its fruiting, only flowers present..i read somewhere that Plumeria rarely produce fruiting during cultivation in non native range.

Alok Ji,

Thanks for the Species id.

Whether pods or follicles, I leave it to the experts to define...being a non botanist myself.

Regards,

Aarti

yes

india

it seems there are not many plumeria trees that develop pods

ie have the apparatus to make fruits?

i have seem many in Hawaii and some in SE pacific islands and Australia, but none in this lower gangetic plains

Love to see this

was this the only tree of plumeria with pods?

ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER MEMBERS HERE HAVE SEEN THEM? in their parts of the country or the world.

thanks usha di

There is some  description though not picture...

on the net

of a sinlgle long dangling fruit in a plumeria

I quote:

"Plumeria Fruit Description

The plumeria tree blooms in the summer and features waxy, showy flowers consisting of five petals in a funnel shape. When the flowers begin to wither, they are replaced by long, slender fruit. A nonedible seedpod, the plumeria fruit reaches lengths of between 6 to 12 inches and features a dry, brittle covering. The brown seedpods do not attract any wildlife. The fruit isn’t showy and won’t create a litter issue in your yard."

from this following URL:

WHat i have seen: the seeds inside are  are papery on one end light airy fly off in the air type seeds that disperse as soon as the wind blows.

where as

as i google images for Plumeria seed pods i get this: tonnes of pictures of the follicles

In this picture the lower two are from a claifornia blog  the lady has shown one pod dangling for a whole year!!!

May be that's what we have in LAL bagh??

I dont think Plumerias are of  two classes

one with pods and second with follicles

please tell us  either way  and give papers citartionsd ec

thanks
