I second Dr. Neils' point of view.
It could be Carissa spinarum.

Thanks, Stepen ji, for the feedback.
But from pictures of Carissa spinarum at FOI: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Wild%20Karanda.html, Geetha ji's photos appear to be matching only with photos of Carissa congesta, I posted earlier.

Dear Devendra ji
Carissa congesta/carandas is what the flowers of India website says. The descrition given there is perfect for the plant
i saw and photographed. If you feel this is not C congesta but C caranda
then please let me know the differences between the two in order to recognise it in field.
best wishes

Hi, Geetha ji,
C. carandas is a synonym of Carissa congesta. I think no more confusion.

I think the confusion started because of the words in the headline..........woody."hardy climber".
Otherwise the ID was straight forward. Carissa is a shrub. The drooping long branches appear like a climber.

Hi Satish,
Carissa congesta [Karvanda] is a large variable erect, suberect or scandent shrub. It has even climbed to the top of my Banyan tree. Sending you a few photographs.

Satish ji
The plant i saw was climbing like a Bougainvillea ( the stems too were thick) and had reached the upper branches of a tree. Hence the description.

Thanks Geetha ji and Neil ji
Now the ID is still more certain due to the apt description of Carissa congesta.
We call it Karawandachi jali in Marathi because of its such nature....... it seems.

Hi,
Have written on this subject before, either on this site or on wildflowersofindia.
Carissa congesta is distinct from Carissa carandas .The difference is mainly geographical and in the number of seeds in the fruit.
While C.congesta is found more in and around Bombay, C.carandas is found more in the southern [peninsular] part of India.
C.congesta has 1-4 seeds depending on the size of the fruit, but the number never exceeds 4.
C.carandas has 4-8 seeds.
With regards,
Neil Soares. |
