Satish Phadke
as the leaves are more or less symmetrical.
Ref Neil ji's work and observations.
I am attaching a table of comparison done earlier by me.Post No. [Efloraindia:34287]
.....................
After searching all the available literature I am convinced that the plant depicted in this mail by me(Both the sets of pictures) is Grewia tiliifolia(And not G.asiatica)
Attaching a table showing the differences compiled together.
If there are any mistakes and errors please correct me.
Agreed that it is a big tree but the species observed by me happen to be small shrub like tree which might attain huge height.
Regards
Dr Phadke Satish
