dipterocarpus species

[Mohina Macker]

I recently planted this dipterocarpus sapling, also known as uud in local parlance, in my place near alibaug. It would be really good if the species can be identified.

Many thanks in advance

I think this is a seedling of Vateria indica (Vateria malabarica), the
white damar tree. We call it Vella payin in Malayalam. I too have
planted a few seedlings. It is a huge beautiful tree seen quite often
along riparian stretches in the Kerala Western Ghats. People tap it
for its resin and many a time unsustainable tapping kills the tree!
Regards,
Sandhya

Hi Mohina,   Had also thought of the same thing. It looks like Vateria indica. Sending you photographs  of my V. indica sapling for comparison.                         Regards,                          Neil. --- On Tue, 10/26/10, harithasandhya <haritha...@yahoo.com> wrote:
