Dear Friends,

I had seen this small Tree  near Vibhuti Water Fall (Yana- North Karnataka). Tree was around 6 to 7M tall. Leaves alternate, petiole approx 10mm.

Date/Time: 20-01-2011 / 10:30AM
Location: Vibhuti Falls, Yana
Habitat: Wild,
Plant Habit: Tree

Could this be "Blachia denudata" of Euphorbiaceae. Kindly validate the ID.

regards
Prashant

A reply from another thread:

"I think it is Blachia calycina. However, it is not possible to confirm the identity without female flowers or fruits.
