Hi, Sawmliana ji,

May I request you for the high resolution images to check whether anthers are awned or not as per keys in Elaeocarpus sp. ? for ID ( Elaeocarpaceae)

I tried all species listed in the book as per comparative images at Elaeocarpus and specimens from India in GBIF as below:

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?country=IN&country=NP&country=BT&taxon_key=4031476 (E. tectorius)

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?country=IN&taxon_key=4031611 (E. aristattus)

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=8250467 (E. prunifolius)

E.varunua as per GBIF– specimen1

Closest I could is E. floribundus as per GBIF– specimen1 and specimen 2

But not sure without close up details. E. tectorius also to be looked into.

The following images are creating doubt for E. floribundus due to shape of petals:

Let us keep it as E. floribundus for the time being.
