Plant for ID SMP 11March 2010

[Satish Phadke]

I saw this deciduous tree on Mhatoba hill adjacent to Vetal hill Pune.(Mah) Very big tree 20 meters or so..growing wild. I could find many similar trees in the vicinity. Some new foliage was observed on the tips of branches. The leaves were clustered near the tips; very much velvety by feel slightly fragrant. Oval to spherical fruits were observed in clusters near the tips of branches. Size Max diameter 1.5 cm Min diameter 1 cm.A single rough balck seed seen inside. In one of the pictures I can see dried flowers which might indicate Anacardiaceae family. This tree is accassible to me. I have to wait for next season to keep track of the flowers.
Hoping to get the ID

 Buchanania lanzan (Anacardiaceae). Fruits become black on ripening and they are very tasty. Cotyledons are removed breaking the hard seed coat and it is used a "Mewa" for making Barfi a sweet dish. "Chironji ki Barfi" a famous sweet dish of Sagar M.P. Never miss to buy if you ever visit Sagar a place where Central University is located. Fortunately I am proud of being the student of the same University. "Chironji" revive the old memories of Sagar and I must not forget to remember my Ph.D. supervisor a great Plant Pathologist Late. Prof Dr. K.M. Vyas who gave me a lot of botany.

With regards.
