sorry the pics are now attached
Nayan.

Friends,

I photographed this climber in Satpura tiger reserve on 30-04-09. This was lying unidentified, today while browsing through a very old and valuable book written by Dr D. Brandis “Indian trees”, I found its description. I think my identification as Maerua arenaria form Capparaceae family is correct. Experts pl confirm or comment on ID

Thanks

Nayan.

Nice pictures, Nayan ji. The id is also correct. But the accepted name is Maerua oblongifolia. The roots are said to be sweet, also used in medicine. It is one of the candidate for the ayurvedic formulation 'murva'. It is called as 'Boomi sakkarai' in Tamil; 'Nela sakre gadde' in Kannada; 'Hemakand' in Marathi and 'Bhoochakramu' in Telugu (source: FRLHT database).
