Dear Friends,

I found this tree very interesting. The famous  Radhanagar beach at Havelock island in Andmans was found to be dominated by this trees all along the beach. Trees were very tall and were in its fruiting stage. Local people call this as "Mohua" tree or "Sea Mohua".

Could this be  Mimusops littoralis ?? Kindly Validate the ID.

Location: Radhanagar Beach, Havelock, Andaman & Nicobar

regards
Prashant

NOT calophyllum inophyllum... the alexandrian laurel... we have have
several .. in victoria mem grounds, salt lake city and in the Agri-
Hort garden...
fruits' skins are bright shiny green without any markings and often
hang on longish pedicles, in bunches...
do not wrinkle until falling from the tree....
Usha di...
