Nice pictures …,
We had a couple of these, sadly, I had to remove them as it was damaging my expensive drying yard. The roots were growing so large
that it was lifting my concrete drying yard. Before they were removed, I used to enjoy seeing the Malabar grey hornbills enjoying the ripe
fruits early in the morning with their cacophony of sounds. I will plant them (have quite a few saplings a little away from the drying
yard so that they would once again attract these birds. The tree grows very fast.
The sencond and third pictures are showing some discoloration and I think it is due to lack of Phosphorus.

---

This plant at a popular resort called “Kshanbhar Vishranti” near Karnala Bird Sanctuary. The second and third photos were on a dry day, shows typical soft red soil settled on the plant leaves, as is seen on plants lining roads on Western Ghats.
Many thanks …, you may be correct about lack of phosphorous. However afraid that my camera settings of exposure (to tackle low diffused light owing to translucent acrylic roof) may have brought about some unreal colours to the leaves.
…, checked on “hexapetalous”, is that inadvertently put OR an accepted variance of spelling “hexapetalus” ?

---

Very sweet smelling flowers. There is a myth about this Liana; Its flowers attract snakes.

---

i REMEMBER IT AS A BUSH, NOT A LIANA. i STAND CORRECTED.

---

…, when young it appears like a bush, later on gaining height beyond 6 ft, makes use of its thick woody spines (as much as 4 cm long) transforming them to hooks for support.

I was familiar with Artabotrys hexapetalus in my school days. We knew it as KANTHALI CHAMPA (MADAN MAST). A few days back I collected a mature larva of Tailed Jay butterfly from this plant along with a twig. In due course of time pupa was formed. When the pupa was 11 days old a beautiful butterfly was released. I was witness to this wonderful journey. Attaching a collage of this journey.
