Madhuca ¿ species ? at Matheran

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear friends,

 

Is this species of Madhuca different than M. longifolia (var. latifolia OR longifolia) ?

... the query because the flowers are found with very short stalks, seeming to look fixed rather than "hanging" (by their long stalks).

 

Place: near Panorama Point, Matheran.

Date: 08 DEC 09

 

ID please.

 

Regards.

Hi Dinesh,    Agree with Prashant. It is Xantholis tomentosa [Sideroxylon tomentosum] locally called Kate Kubhal. Sending one of my photographs for comparison.                       Regards,                        Neil. --- On Fri, 12/11/09, Prashant awale <pka...@gmail.com> wrote:
