406 ID wild tree

[Sam Kuzhalanattu]

Please ID wild tree.

It's dry pod easily break when fall on open ground other than grassland, but at the same time the seed in it also divided into two parts at its very centre portion, so I think the propagation of this plant is to be difficult.

With kind regards, Sam.

Inflorescence looks similar to images at Terminalia, but fruit looks different.

Fruit shape reminds me of Euphorbiaceae.

Dear Garg ji,

Yes, inflorescence is very close to Terminalia. Observed from outside, only fruits are different when compared with fruits of both plants. I got unripen fruit image of the said tree already in September, and I am waiting for its flower images till the December. Leaves of Terminalia is purely ovoid. Also having closeups of Terminalia inflorescence,  the same will be posted as soon as possible for reference.

With kind regards, Sam.

Dear Garg ji,

Yes, your suggestion of fruit shape of Euphorbiaceae is very correct and the said fruit is bi-lobed, but only one seed in it.

With kind regards, Sam.
