Thanks a lot dear Garg ji for forwarding my request for ID assistance, with kind regards, Sam.

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

No idea.

[Sam Kuzhalanattu]

Dear Garg ji, Tapas ji,

It is not a rare tree,  good population here, with kind regards, Sam.

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

In Euphorbiaceae, such plumose styles are known in Acalypha, Claoxylon, Macaranga and Mallotus.

Maybe some Claoxylon species?

[Sam Kuzhalanattu]

Dear Tapas ji,

Checked all available images of Claoxylon sps., but no matching, with kind regards, Sam.

[J.M. Garg]

To me appears close to images at Mallotus resinosus (Blanco) Merrill

Pl. check.

Sharing more images, mobile clicked dt.19JAN2022.

[Sam Kuzhalanattu]

Dear Garg ji,

It may be Mallotus sps., but not M. resinosus.  Similarities with Mallotus resinosus, but differences also, more than one flower at each base in the inflorescence, means flower arrangement at eFI and berries are totally different.  And doesn't seem male flowers in my trees, please check the collage left and drupe top is of mine , with kind regards, Sam.

[J.M. Garg]

Yes, fruits look different.

I checked all the species listed in Flora of Peninsular India.

This appears close to Mallotus atrovirens as per GBIF specimens- one and two.

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Agreed Garg ji,

Mallotus atrovirens.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Tapas ji

Dear Garg ji, Tapas ji,

Yes it is Mallotus atrovirens, thank you very much for ID my tree, with kind regards, Sam.

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Dear Sam ji,

Credit goes to Garg ji. My memory failed in this case. After comments by Garg ji, I checked with the key of the treatment of Mallotus in Flora of India and it correctly reached to M. atrovirens.

Regards,

Tapas

[J.M. Garg]
