Thanks neil, I can see the similarity in the leaves now. the tree is really large and the spines must have fallen off with age

Thanks HS. Would like to know on what basis you have arrived at this conclusion. Have both species of these trees at my farm at Shahapur.     Have also in the past had a detailed discussion with Dr. Almeida on this topic.  As seen in the photographs most of the leaves are fresh. In Bridelia spinosa  the leaves are more elliptic with an acute tip whereas in Bridelia squamosa the leaves are broader and more oval in shape with older leaves tending to loose chlorophyll and developing spots because of a fungal attack.    Also it would be nice if you would disclose your identity and credentials.                          With regards,                             Neil Soares. --- On Thu, 4/28/11, H S <hems...@gmail.com> wrote:
