Wrightia arborea fruiting

[Neil Soares]

Hi,  Was at my farm at Shahapur over the weekend. Wrightia arborea [W.tomentosa], locally called Tambda Kuda, was fruiting. This tree had recently featured in one of our discussions.     Sending a few photographs.                   With regards,                     Neil Soares.

Dear Tanay

Your half sentences sometimes can cause confusion. Yes the fruits of two species are definitely different, much longer, narrower and free in W. tinctoria shorter, broader and connate in W. arborea (W. tomentosa).

W. arborea:  Follicles connate, 15-18 cm long, 1.25-2 cm wide (total width 3-4 cm), cylindric, pendulous, grooved at the union of the carpels, beaked, striate with white dots all over

W. tinctoria: Follicles 25-50 long, free, 6-8 mm wide, united at the apex when young, cylindrical, glabrous, pendulous, striate.
