Wow, thanks Raju ji for posting this. Yes, as Dr.Pankaj said i was hunting for pictures of Terminalia, espl from northeast region.

I want to use these pictures in a poster with your permission. If it is ok for you, please send the higher resolution pictures to my id.

I'll post my collections from Moreh Forest Guest House in Manipur which i thought as this species. But the fruits somewhat resemble that of T. chebula.

[Thanks to Dinesh ji and Dr.Ritesh for sharing their pictures of Terminalia].

 

Regards
