Dear Vinayaraj ji,

Thank you very much for ID my plant.

My tree resembles to Psydrax dicoccos, but I couldn't see these kind of inflorescence or flowers as per efloraofindia images, from my frequent visits.  I also pointed that my tree bloomed only with full of this kind of tiny flower (single) on both opposite axillary in young as well as medium old branchlets.

With kind regards, Sam.

Dr. Santosh, Navendu ji, Paradesi ji, Lalithamba ji and some other members are Saviours who  help in

difficult  IDs. Kudos to them. 

Thank you.

It reminds me of Psydrax as well.

Perhaps what we have here are not flowering bodies at all! Could these be small axillary spurs instead? Solitary, axillary projections like the ones in this photograph of Psydrax (syn. Canthium) on the Biotik website. Similar projections can be discerned in some photographs of Psydrax in the efloraofindia archive. I don't know what the white substance in Sam ji's images could be, maybe it is an infection.

Best wishes, Viplav

Dear All,

Today, I visited the tree, but couldn't find any inflorescence with white flowers, and the tree is remaining with same characteristics, only changes are flower heads get brownish and rough.  And I found one more individual with same characters.  At the same time I make a video call to Santosh ji, but it is not clear, so some more photos captured as per his direction, will be provides shortly.  

With kind regards, Sam.
