Apparently it looks like Scleropyrum pentandrum. The inflorescence looks like a bisexual one.

However, I do not find any spines in the leaf-axils or leafless axils below.

Please dissect out the flowers and check with the species as given in Flora of India vol. 23, page 65 and the detailed illustrations on pages 66 & 67.

Hello sir,

Thank you for your reply. I am currently not able to go back to this tree in Agumbe. But when I do in the next month or so, I will certainly dissect the flowers and check.

Thank you once again.

Please validate if this could possibly be Aporosa lindleyana of Euphorbiaceae. Please also refer Dinesh sir's post of the same- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/scleropyrum/indiantreepix/yOjssqBmZZ0/qgmP85BVrF4J

Anurag, now that you brought up this possibility, the posted plant clearly seems to be Aporosa lindleyana.

The inflorescence of Scleropyrum pentandrum do not appear crooked like the ones here; moreover the spines are missing.

Regards.

[Anurag Sharma]

Yes sir.

Hoping that it proves to be correct.

This looks like Aporosa lindleyana to me. I am not familiar with Scleropyrum pentandrum.

Please see my earlier post https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/kUBBxXZO3Vw

Thank you very much Garg ji for resurfacing the post.

Thank you very much Sandhya ji for sharing your pictures and the ID. Now I am sure, Anurag's posted plant is Aporosa lindleyana.

Regards.
