This is Carallia brachiata (Rhizophoraceae), I think.


How does a tree classified as a mangrove grow by itself in Assam? or is it by some one’s planting, ie by design?


I think there is little chance to plant this species in this virgin forests. Another point is that it is freshwater mangrove. This sp is used as herbal medicine in Assam

Habitat: Garden

Great catch. Though it is a mangrove plant it is observed in forests I suppose?


Nice flowers. we saw the tree in the forest garden of Agumbe, but there were no flowers that time.


Freshwater Mangrove is a tree growing up to 10 m tall. Branches are brown, corky.
Stipules are 1-2.5 cm.
Leaves carried on 1 cm long stalks are elliptic-obovate, oblanceolate, or rarely circular, 5-15 x 2-10 cm, papery to thinly leathery. Leaf base is wedge-shaped, margin entire or toothed, tip pointed or shortly tapering. Inflorescences are 1-6 cm, often resinous, usually shining from secreted resin. Flowers are short-stalked or stalkless. Bracteoles are 2 or 3, partially fused into a cup. Sepals are 6 or 7, triangular, 3-4 mm. Petals are white, nearly round, 1.5 mm in diameter, notched at the tip and unevenly lacerate. Stamens are about 2 mm. Ovary is bulbous, 2 mm; style 2 mm; stigma discoid, apically 4-8-lobed.
Fruit is glossy pink to red round, 5 mm in diameter. Seeds are kidney-shaped.

Good set of photos. I have noticed the flowering of this sp. few days back at the NBNP Arboretum.

Would like to validate the name of this plant in Kannada

Would like to validate the name karalli in Tamil for this plant.
Which of these would be the correct spelling for karalli:
கரல்லி OR கறல்லி OR காரல்லி OR காறல்லி ?


‘karalli’ is a Telugu name, as per FRLHT database.
The script for Tamil name ‘Andimiriam’ (not familiar to me!) may be அந்திமிரியம்.


Many many thanks … for the clarity.
Me too thought so – karalli is a Telugu name given to Carallia lucida; and the genus name Carallia is derived from it … Paxton’s Botanical Dictionary.
Perhaps, due to proximity of regions, adjoining population of Tamil may have borrowed the Telugu name – I am referring to mention of karalli as Tamil name for Carallia integerrimahttp://envis.frlht.org/plant_details2326 … unless put in error.
My query arose because none of கரல்லி / கறல்லி / காரல்லி / காறல்லி are found in Tamil dictionaries or any web page on internet.
I am considering to drop this karalli as a name in Tamil for C. brachiata.
One observation: The Useful Plants of India (NISCAIR) has not put any name in Tamil for C. brachiata.
ஆண்டிமிரம் (antimiram) is found at Biotik … http://www.biotik.org/india/carabrac_ta.html
Seems ambiguous because only Biotik and FRLHT mentions it … perhaps it is based on names in neighbouring languages, and relatively recent coined word.
I will take அந்திமிரியம் as a better form of ஆண்டிமிரம்.
Many thanks once again.


karalli is a Telugu name given to Carallia lucida; and the genus name Carallia is derived from it … Paxton’s Botanical Dictionary.
Would someone help me by providing the name in native script.
I tried all of these:
కరల్లి / కారల్లి / కరాల్లి / కారాల్లి / కరళ్లి / కారళ్లి / కరాళ్లి / కారాళ్లి … surprisingly not one of these discussed on the internet.
Totally stumped !
Another name put for C. brachiata is gijuru chettu ¿ గిజరు ? చెట్టు … hope this name helps to get to karalli.

No figs sighted but trunk seems very distinctive.

Pl. send more images of leaves & foliage.


it looks like Carallia bractiata……


Certainly the roots and new leaves in the 2nd picture look like Carallia brachiata.
Please could you post images of the mature leaves for confirmation?


Thanks all. I am out of station right now and will look thru my pictures to see if i have better ones of the leaves when i get back home.


I was wondering if anyone could share pictures of Carallia brachiata. I just learned that this member of the Rhizophoraceae is known as the freshwater mangrove, and I’m having difficulty finding more information.
Does it have prop roots or viviparous seeds? Can it survive significant inundation? Are there any other members of this genus with these features?
Any help would be most appreciated.

Some of my pictures of Carallia brachiata at flickr … you may go ahead to download any of the pictures for your use.

Thank you for sharing! These are really nice pictures.
Do you know why this species is called the freshwater mangrove?

No, I do not know the reason why this plant is way from mangroves, yet has some aspect(s) which led to getting included in a genus – almost all of whose species have their habitat in mangroves.

Thinking otherwise, this plant far from mangroves, seems to have no connection with “freshwater” either.


I was wondering if anyone had information on the physiology or morphology of Carallia brachiata (Rhizophoraceae). I’ve heard it called the freshwater mangrove, and I was wondering what mangrove-like adaptations it has (salt tolerance, inundation tolerance, viviparous propagules, prop roots, etc.) Also, are there other members of this genus with similar adaptations?
Any help would be excellent!

Matheran plant for id:
please help to identify this wild plant found in deep evergreen forest at Matheran. It is found at several locations where the forest is rich in species.
So far have not found mature plant. This may be a creeper.
Leaves are dark green, glossy, glabrous, c. 12-15cm long, with fine sharp serrations on the margins. Stems are all warty and rough. Branches quite flexible.
Could it be Salacia sp?


It looks like a sapling of Carallia brachiata


Yes, it does, but what about the serration?
I’ve grown seedlings of the Carallia and although the leaf shape was similar the leaves were entire.


In natural habitat (mostly under shade) leaves of Carallia brachiata is serrated.


Thank you so much for that information. I’ve been puzzling over this one for weeks!

Carallia integerrimaRhizophoraceae, This is another interesting species seen at Amboli, Maharashtra last week.
All Rhizophora are coastal, but this is the only species found away from the sea. Amboli is at 3000 altitude. Fruit is edible and tastes like Phalsa !

Very Very interesting plant , something very new about this family for me.


Yes …, amazing tree! In fact there was no water around the spots we saw this tree!


There is a small patch of landlocked mangroves (just 0.7 ha with about 36 trees) in Shravan kavadia, 40 kms from Bhuj, Gujarat.
This is an evidence of an ancient shoreline in the region. Geomorphologic changes in the region is obvious due to the transgression of the sea.
This is supposed to be a sacred grove and the trees are over 100 years old.
I have misplaced the photographs. If i am able to locate them, i shall post it later.

it was a memorable day for us with Dr.Almeida Sir in Amboli last year. Our group is with Dr.Almeida Sir. That time he showed that plant. Which may be the same as yours. It is on the right side, just road side coming straight from the Police check post. he told us that there are only one or two plants are in Amboli. Any way thanx for posting.


Good  pictures, … Thanks for sharing and bringing Dr. Almeida on ITP !  We saw the tree at two three place, but missed the one you have mentioned.


I see Santosh Yadav in the pic too. Another orchid guy and a good friend. By the way, what are those small things on the branches?….orchids?? or some Selaginella?
Thanks for sharing the pics. We haven’t left with much of good taxonomists in India these days who still go to field.


Field trip with Almeida sir is always  great experience!!

In his last visit, i told him, i want to see Ceropegia … Actually he was busy in preparation for seminar still he came with me to Amboli and he stopped searching only when finally we found the plant.
He knows, i love orchids so whenever he found orchid he would call me ..’see … your fv’ plant.. He is ‘gem of person’
That was loveliest day of my life :):)

Family  – Rhizophoraceae

Thanks …

After all we got its name. I have the satisfaction of getting the family name correct. My source gives Varanga Malayalam name but not Vankana. Here are a few others:
Beng: Kierpa
Mar: Panasi, punschi
Tel: Karalli
Assam: Kanthekera
Andamans: Mantiawya
Trade: Karallia wood
The glossy upper surface of leaves, opposite simple leaves and red wood is characteristic for this huge tree. In addition to being a prized timber plant, fruits are edible, leaves used for preparing a tea like beverage; seeds yield an edible oil.
