Carallia integerrima

[Rashida Atthar]

Carallia integerrima -Rhizophoraceae, This is another interesting species  seen at Amboli, Maharashtra last week.   All Rhizophora are coastal, but this is the only species found away from the sea. Amboli is at 3000 altitude. Fruit is edible and tastes like  Phalsa !

regards,

Rashida.

Hi Rashida ji,

There is a small patch of landlocked mangroves (just 0.7 ha with about
36 trees) in Shravan kavadia, 40 kms from Bhuj, Gujarat.
This is an evidence of an ancient shoreline in the region.
Geomorphologic changes in the region is obvious due to the
transgression of the sea.
This is supposed to be a sacred grove and the trees are over 100 years
old.
I have misplaced the photographs. If i am able to locate them, i shall
post it later.

Regards,
Sangeeth mallika

Rashida ji

Thanks for showing us so many interesting plants after a gap of several days. You have very well compensated your temporary absence from the group.

I see Santosh Yadav in the pic too. Another orchid guy and a good friend. By the way, what are those small things on the branches?....orchids?? or some Selaginella?
Thanks for sharing the pics. We havent left with much of good taxonomists in India these days who still go to field.

Regards

Field trip with Almeida sir is always  great experience!! 

In his last visit, i told him, i want to see Ceropegia ...Actually he was busy in preparartion for seminar still he came with me to Amboli

and he stopped searching only when finally we found the plant

He knows, i love orchids so whenever he found orchid he would call me ..'see Smita your fv' plant..He is 'gem of person'

That was loveliest day of my life :):)
