I am attaching 2 photos of a plant which looks deceptively similar to a mango tree.

Can anyone identify it for me please?

Thanks

Well, I somehow managed to upload. But I am unable to see my own posting on the Group. Just cannot find.

 

I will have to sit with someone who is already on this group and then understand how it functions.

 

I am in Bombay. Are there any members from Bombay on this group?

 

Regards,

One of the trees which is like mango is Syzygium travancoricum, but without the flowers and fruits it is difficult to determine.

Dear Gargji,

 

This is not my cup of tea. I do not see anything in the Sent Folder.

 

Anyway I have requested my friend, Dr. Neil Soares, who came all the way to my project site in the year 2010 and clicked hundreds of photographs of my plants, to do the needful. There are so many plants to be identified. I was getting put off for last 4 years. I did nothing in that direction. Now I want to do it. But I just cannot understand how this eGroup operates. I am not on any other Gmail groups.

Hi,

  Amogh Ghaisas is a friend of mine. Have mentioned him previously in several of my mails. Besides being a Chartered Accountant and a Lawyer, he runs a NGO for the underprivileged tribals at Rajmachi [a Fort-hamlet near the popular hill station, Lonavala]. His passion is growing indigenous tree on the land there and has achieved a sizeable collection of native trees mainly from the Western Ghats and the forest of South India through seed germination. 

  These photographs [and presumably the subsequent ones which he will be forwarding for identification] were all taken by me in October 2010. At that time his aim was just to have a photographic record. He has now undertaking the onerous task of identifying them.

  Sending a cropped image.

                With regards,
                       Neil Soares.

Could this be a Nothopegia sp. of Anacardiaceae?

Best wishes, Viplav

 Thanks Viplav. Conveyed your diagnosis to Amogh. He now remembers Dr.Almeida last year purely on the basis of the description provided to him [without seeing the actual plant / photograph] identifying it as Nothopegia colebrookiana.
   It is now called Nothopegia castaneifolia a small tree about 5 mt. high with acrid milky juice.
 
                With regards,
                  Neil Soares.

Thanks Dr. Neil for the prompt confirmation. Really great to have the species identified from Dr. Almeida.

Best wishes, Viplav

So what I have is N. castaneifolia.

 

The leaves of N. colebrookiana are looking quite different in the picture posted.
