Plant for ID SMP1 15/1/2011

[Satish Phadke]

A large tree seen in Panhala near Kolhapur.
Compound raceme inflorescences were observed. Leaves and flowers are seen in the pictures.
Can you help me in ID? Is it Mallotus philippensis?

Adding some more images of hopefully the same species but from another nearby tree.

Hi,
Also locally called Sindhuri from the Vermillion coloured powder on
fruits. Nice picture of the bird. It actually went unnoticed by me.
Thanks Madhuri Ji.

Hi,  The bird is a Common Iora [possibly a male in non-breeding plumage].                         Regards,                          Neil Soares. --- On Sun, 1/16/11, Madhuri Pejaver <formp...@yahoo.com> wrote:

Dear Sweedle ji and Rajendra ji
All the photos are of large trees and in a similar habitat near the so called botanical park of Panhala. The last ones with a picture of Iora are from the hotel premises.
To my knowledge the Colebrookea sp. is a shrub and not a tree. I agree that the flowers have similarity. I think the trees posted by me  are in various stages of flowering and fruiting.
This is the first time that I have seen the plant flowering. So I may be wrong.

The first set of pictures show a male plant of Mallotus philippensis
and the second set shows female flowers with 3 styles clearly leaving
no doubt for ID. Regards, Shrikant

Sathishji,

            A small justification to my posting. You have posted two sets of pictures - the first set is of Colebrookea sp. and the second set is of Mallotus philipensis (probably you are talking about the ID of this one).

Hello All!

The posted photos - 9501 and 9497 has opposite leaves and looks
like Colebrookea sp., while Mallotus philippinensis has alternate
leaves.
