“Aporosa indo-acuminata Chakrab. & N.P.Balakr., endemic to India (Kerala and Tamil Nadu).” Aporosa acuminata Yes Aporosa acuminata of Euphorbiaceae family I reiterate that Aporosa indo-acuminata Chakrab. & N.P.Balakr. in N.P.Balakr. et al., Fl. India 23: 369. 2012 of Kerala and Tamil Nadu is different and distinct from A. acuminata of Sri Lanka I will check the same and get back to you. This plant is certainly A. acuminata but another upload from Mudumalai would not be A. indo-acuminata that is A. lindleana only ..
Kindly help to identify this plant. Is this Aporosa acuminata species?
Local name: kaatu kaapi
I think you are right … This is Aporosa acuminata. Thank you all, for the id; how could we differentiate this from Aporosa lindleyana (Wight) Baill.? See the attached document. Aporosa.doc This could be Aporosa lindleyana Good photographs of Aporosa indo-acuminata Chakrab. & N.P.Balakr. in N.P.Balakr. et al. Fl. India 23: 369. 2012. It is different and distinct from Aporosa acuminata of Sri Lanka.
