Dr. Gargji,

Namaskar. Longtime!!

Can you please identify this plant in the attached image from a 1772 illustration from Kannur district of Kerala, painted by a Britisher?

Please note the spur on the calyx of the fruits.

Thanks in advance,

With warm regards,

Subbu

Thank you.

However, Vitex leucoxylon has zygomorphic, bilabiate flowers borne in corymbose cyme and the fruit does not have a spur on the calyx.

The flowers in my image are more Actinomorphic like that of a Ceiba pentandra and the fruits have a calyx spur.

Comments please.

Subbu.
