Confusion- Cordia myxa L. and Cordia dichotoma G.Forst. : 2 posts by 1 author.
Let us explore whether they are the same or different. If different, what are the differences?
| 2 (1) | Calyx not ribbed, glabrous | 2 Cordia myxa | |
| + | Calyx ribbed, minutely pubescent to tomentose | (3) for other species including Cordia dichotoma |
Cultivated and sometimes found as an escape. The pulpy drupe is edible.
Flowers: Female:calyx tubular-campanulate, 6–8.5 mm. long, irregularly 3–4-toothed, glabrous outside save for tips of lobes, densely pubescent inside; corolla-tube 4.5–6.5 mm. long; lobes 4–6, elliptic to obovate, 5–7 mm. long, 2.5–3.5 mm. wide, reflexed and rolled up; stamens with filaments 1.5–2.5 mm. long, ± pubescent; anthers sterile; ovary ellipsoid or obovoid, 2.5–3.5 mm. long, 2–2.7 mm. wide; style exserted, 8–9 mm. long, deeply divided into 4 stigmatic branches 4–5 mm. long, flattened and subfoliaceous with irregular or erose-denticulate margins. Male:calyx campanulate, 4.5–5.5 mm. long, 3-lobed, glabrous outside, pubescent to tomentose at apex inside; corolla white; tube 3.5–4.5 mm. long; lobes 5, elliptic, 5 mm. long, 2 mm. wide, reflexed; stamens exserted, the filaments 1.5–3.5 mm. long, hairy at the base; ovary rudimentary and style absent.
On checking all the images, the crucial difference appears to be glabrous calyx in Cordia myxa in comparison to non-glabrous calyx in Cordia dichotoma.
Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
yes … your observation is very correct, hence both are treated same, only in some outdated floras it is given separately

– Looking at the descriptions and illustrations of Flora of Delhi, eFlora of Pakistan and eFlora of China, I have a feeling that our C. myxa (Lassora) may be C. dichotoma only, common in plains in North India. eFlora of Pakistan differentiates C. dichotoma from C. myxa in its narrower leaves and cuneate base, but if we have a look at illustration of C. dichotoma in eFlora of China and the photograph at FOI, the leaves are much broader and rounded at base. All our specimens may be C. dichotoma only. You may please check it further.
– Some more links to suggest that our C. myxa (non C. myxa L.) , Lasura and C. dichotoma are the same species, with C. dichotoma as accepted name for our plant.

Boraginaceae Week: Cordia dichotoma Forster from Delhi
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/19/cordia-dichotoma/?
No Cordia crenata in this page. Almost all are Cordia myxa, only one or two C. dichotoma ….one from Muscat and possibly one from WB Dinajpur . .
To me Cordia myxa and Cordia dichotoma are distinct though I cannot describe the differences if you ask me. One season I had recorded flowers of both and they were different of course. Unripe fruits are used for pickle making and in season (spring) in market it is always fruit of dichotoma, never myxa. Here is a post on fb comparing flowers of the two species
https://www.facebook.com/groups/indianflora/posts/3506185329422781/
female flower Cordia myxa….. look at stigma
female flower Cordia dichotoma ….look at stigma
Apart from stigma what I have observed is ….
Cordia myxa is a bigger tree, leaf comparatively smaller than dichotoma, orbicular to oblong, ripe fruits are about 1.5 cm in diameter, orangish pink translucent.
Cordia dichotoma trees are smaller, larger orbicular leaf, new emerging leaves are velutinous on undersurface and ripe fruits are about 2cm in diameter light yellow in color, not translucent.
Branchlets in both are drooping but they are much longer in C. dichotoma.
As I said these differences are rather general, Stigma I find specific.
In discussions on facebook opinions on facebook were very confusing. Finally I managed to get clarity on these two from a paper from Egypt .

Nice photographs, but this is also Cordia dichotoma. Cordia myxa is a synonym of Cordia dichotoma. My photographs of this are available in the archives of this group.
I could never differentiate between myxa and dichotama.
Though there are wiki pages for each of them.
According to Flora of Pakistan Cordia dichotoma ( 5-8 x 1.5-3.0 cm ) differs from Cordia myxa (6-12.5 x 43-8.2 cm) in the narrower and thinner leaves, which are not subcordate at the base and smaller drupes; also calyx is ribbed and hairy in former, not in latter. I wonder if both can be found in India.

SYMBIOSIS :218:
Attaching an image of female of a Koel eating fruit of Cordia myxa. There are two trees at this area. About a month back both the trees were having lots of fruits on them. I used to go regularly, under those trees to record the birds relishing the fruits. At last I could record only one event. With so many fruits, I thought Bulbuls, Barbets, Mynas, Koels will visit these trees. I don’t know why birds don’t like these fruits.
This tree is important to me as it connected me to Shri DCS Raju. I am not a botanist, but I am highly impressed by the type work this gentleman has done.
I faced some trying time to get my camera focused on the subject and finally succeeded to capture a few recognizable photographs.
Thank you very much … I will be also monitoring this tree to see its fruits.

Plant ID:
please ID this plant species
I am seen your photograph.
Some body comment your photo. He is cordia dichtoma. It is totally wrong indentification in species level. But correct in genes level. It is cordia genes. Species is differ from dicotoma.
It is my suggestion. Below the identification.
Phtograph No . 1 – Cordia gharaf
It is very common in gujrat. From kutch to Dang district.
Phtograph No. 2 . – Cordia gharaf
It is very important character is terminal and axillary cymes flower.
Phtograph No 3 – Cordia gharaf
It is same to photo 3.
yes i too think it is cordia garaf
i too have seen the same in Nashik, Maharashtra
Yes Cordia dichotoma
It is indeed Cordia species but the leaves are quite different; the fruit also not very similar to Cordia dichotoma. Let us wait for some more comments
Yes Cordia dichotoma affirmative

look like Cordia obliqua Willd.

It is Cordia dichotoma – common tree fruits during July,
seeds used in medicine (Lasoda), sticky fruit pulp is eaten by local people.

“Cordia myxa L., and Cordia dichotoma Forst as such are distinct species
The problem arose that the name C. myxa was also used for plants from India, which is same as C. obliqua Willd., a name adopted in Flora of British India. This plant is now correctly known C. dichotoma Forst.
The plant should be cited as:
Cordia dichotoma Forst. syn: Cordia obliqua Willd.; C. myxa auct. (non L.); C. indica Lam.; C. latifolia Roxb.

Cordia dichotoma
Thanks … for the ID.
The leaves, however, look very different, here they seem smaller. Besides, their shape is not circular, like the other C. dichotoma trees that I have seen.
Yes. The leaf shape and margin is variable. Fruits should have been smaller, globose and orange if it were C sinensis.
Thank you … for the confirmation.

2. By Indian cherry/bhokar is meant ziziphus (ber) or lasora (cordia dichotoma.

We can’t just pick up accepted name and synonym without authority name. No doubt Cordia myxa L. and Cordia dichotoma G. Forst are distinct species according to Kew Database (the most authentic at present), Catalogue of Life and World Flora Online.
Thanks, …, If that is the case, may I request you to pl. look at efi posts in our database, which are all in the same page at C.dichotoma.
Thanks … The fact that both are called and used as Lasura in India has created lot of confusion on the internet, even Wikipedia, even Flowers of India. We have to proceed carefully. I think this looks to be typical C. dichotoma: http://tropical.theferns.info/image.php?id=Cordia+dichotoma
