It is my pleasure to share few images of Buchanania cochinchinensis (Anacardiaceae) Ref: http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=277&cat=1 Habit: Tree Habitat: Wild, Dry deciduous forest Sighting: Chikmagalur and Tumkur, Karnataka, about 1000 msl and 800 msl respectively Date: 29-07-2014 and 03-03-2015
Sharing images of an Anacardiaceae member observed in Pune.
Buchanania lanzen (Charoli) चारोळी
The close-up of the flowers in your first photograph is very intriguing. I’m acquainted with this tree in Mumbai (Borivali National Park, Madh etc.). The flowers that I’ve observed have all had 10 stamens and these are shorter than the petals. Had posted the same last year in an earlier thread. My observations have been consistent with the description in Cooke’s Flora (vol. 1): “Stamens 10, a little shorter than the petals…”.
In your photograph, the flowers have 5 stamens that are markedly longer than the petals. Would appreciate any inputs/clarity on this.
I suppose the current name of this tree is Buchanania cochinchinensis (Lour.) M.R.Almeida.
Many thanks for sharing your Anacardiaceae collection. Could this be Semecarpus anacardium? I’m surprised to see Buchanania in such a dry looking locality. The last 2 images can’t be from the same tree! Anyway liked the last two pictures very much. spikes my curiosity as to what is it anyway? and are the pictures somehow mixed up There is an apparent mix-up of images. The first one corresponds to the male flowers of Semecarpus anacardium and the second image seems to be of the same. The habit photo is not very clear but the others appear to be that of Buchanania cochinchinensis. You are correct. First two photos are Semecarpus anacardium and are from a different set. I am extremely sorry for the mix up.
As rightly said the stamens of Buchanania are 8-10 free inserted at the base of disk while those in Semecarpus are 5-6 as per Cooke

Pics were taken in Dec 2015.
The name given was Madhuca longifolia. Is it var. longifolia.
The last pic of the fruits (Madhuca_Aarey6) is taken at a location some 200 mts from the earlier tree.
Please ID.
May be. If it is Madhuca, it is more likely to be Madhuca longifolia var. latifolia
It’s very close to Semicarpus anacardium, It seems to be Semecarpus sp. maybe even cashew, The leaf base was bothering me, it is more likely to be Buchanania! I agree with … For me also it looks like Buchanania may be sp. barberi The local sp. is B. cochinchinensis. It is found in Mumbai area, fairly common . PLEASE DISCUSS two species are confused 1. Buchanania cochinchinensis and Buchanania lanzan: Both Catalogue of Life and WFO consider them synonyms. Now why B. cochinchinensis is selected as correct name: Glycosmis cochinchinensis ??? I think it should be Buchanania cochinchinensis. I have given information about prominent databases, It is for one to decide which database to follow. And yes WFO also accepts B. cochinchinensis (and Glycosmis cochinchinensis as synonym, along as B. lanzan), so following majority B. cochinchinensis may be followed safely. .

Date: 30 May 2023
Elevation 400m.
Habit : Wild
Buchanania sp. [Anacardiaceae]. Only one sp. has got distribution in Nepal, Buchanania cochinchinensis (Lour.) Almeida syn : Buchanania latifolia Roxb. The Checklist of Nepal and FoC only mention Buchanania latifolia Roxburgh. While BSI Flora of India only mentions Buchanania lanzan Sprengel in Schrader.
Catalogue of Life mentions Buchanania cochinchinensis (Lour.) Almeida (syn: Buchanania lanzan Spreng.; Buchanania latifolia Roxb.)
So for the time being, we can treat all of them as one.
OK … ! I guess we should take Buchanania cochinchinensis (Lour.) Almeida as the latest accepted name.
