[shubhada nikharge]

Dear Rashida,
i have posted pics of Wrightia arborea (syn. W. tomentosa) for the comparison of young as well as mature leaves. The leaves look velvety. The pics are taken in the month of May 2010 at Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai.
Marathi name: तांबडा कुडा
Family: Apocynaceae
Cheers,
Shubhada
