[efloraofindia:34508] Terminalia arjuna

[Neil Soares]

Hi Prof. Singh,    As promised.    Had planted 2 saplings of Terminalia arjuna [Arjun] in 1997 on my property at Shahapur – one on the banks of the stream and the other on flat land.  Neither was watered but were left to the elements. As seen from the photographs there is a marked disparity in growth patterns.    Sending a few photographs. Unfortunately don’t have any photographs of the fruit.                                 Regards,                                   Neil.

The bark is distinctive. Some how the T. arjuna trees in Delhi have bark with orange tinge.

Dear Gurcharan Ji,

I have closely seen Terminalia arjuna bark and it's indeed orange brown in colour. My father regularly takes it, the bark is boiled in water and then he take the water as a luke warm drink every morning in empty stomach it is a great tonic. I am attaching photographs of the bark kindly consider it.

Regards

Tanay

Good Tanay, you have taken pictures of the bark piece in different views/angles, like a model (car) !!!

We got the idea of its thickness, exudation, texture...Thanx to your father also.

The bark is a cordinal tonic.

With regards

R. Vijayasankar

Dear Yazdy Ji,

You have to use a bark peice, size as seen in my photo add about 2 cups of water and boil it until the water reduces to half (i.e 1 cup) at this point it will just look like black tea. You will have to have this every moring empty stomach in a luke warm condition, remember everyday!! Never take anyother breverage drink (tea or coffee) or food alteast for next 1 hour after having this. As my dad says it help to elevate the immune system of the body and also has extremely high medicinal properties better than all those branded tonics found in market for which we pay a lots of money. Touch wood but I will like to say that I have never seen my had sick , he is more healthy and energetic than me at this ripe age of 56.

Tanay, please mention approximate dimensions of the bark ... difficult to gauge from the photo.
My guess: dimensions of a regular matchbox ?

Regards.

[tanay bose]

 Dear Dinesh ji,

the size is about 5cmX3cm (approx)

Regards

Dear all,

Terminalia cuneata is the accepted recent nomenclature for the tree.

Muthu ji

Can you send the full citation aqnd synonymy for both T. cuneata and T. elliptica, and the authority who follows this nomenclature. It will be helpful in updating our records.

Dear sir,
Terminalia cuneata Roxb. could be the recent name. [Tamil name: Vellai marudu] local name here refers the the 'white bark'

Terminalia elliptica Willd. is different one sir, [Tamil name: Karu marudu] local name here refers the the 'black bark'

Both are recent nomenclatures.
Kindly refer Flora of Tamil Nadu, VOL. I, 1983 and  Matthew, 1983
