Date/Time-: 25/03/11 – 08:45 – Dillenia pentagyna – It’s Dillenia pentagyna. These trees are observed in Ansi-Dandeli forest. I have seen in vegetative form, however with yellow fls, it looks marvelous. – Dillenia pentagyna. These trees are seen in Madras Christian College Campus Tambaram, Chennai
dillenia pentagyna:
in preparation to recieve rains many deciduos trees are showing new leaf. even though it is blisteringly hot, shiny red leaves which quickly turn green have started appearing. a new leaf on the slow growing dillenia pentagyna or karmal – Very interesting observation…may be…due to change in climate?? – Have a sneaking suspicion that the aberrant appearance of new leaves has more to do with over-watering of your plants by over-enthusiastic farmhands than any drastic climatic changes. Please check. Have encountered the same with my saplings but not with the established trees. – It is possible, but only the newly planted saplings are watered I don’t have an older dellinia pentagyna, but most older other trees, which are definitely not watered, are showing new leaf.
Dillenia pentagna, Karmal fruiting:
identification 170611sn1: Dillenia pentagyna, in Marathi its called as Karmal. leaves are used for making pattal (leaf plates).

TALL TREE ID……..8th NOV 2011…..S.S. ……064: Habitat….. Wild, in forest
Plant……. Tree Height……Tall. Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- see pic. I think it is Dillenia pentagyna Roxb. Common in the grassland habitat of Jaldapara. Locally known as OXI or Akshi. I am most grateful for your help … Yes I agree with Dillenia pentagyna. The top view of the flowers is not there to display the typical androecium and gynaecium. The petiole colour and the flowers structure is matching though. The fruits are also matching. yes Dillenia pentagyna the tree also has very handsome and peculiar leaves…..the tree looks magnificent when it is green.
Location- Dandeli WLS Habitat- Wild Plant Habit- Tree Height/Length- 15 meters Leaves- Simple Awesome photographs. Thanks for sharing. I have seen this tree in cultivation (of course in full bloom) in Madras Christian College Campus, Tambaram, Chennai.
Date/Time- May 2012 Location- Dandeli WLS Habitat- Wild Plant Habit- Tree Height/Length- 15 meters Leaves- Simple
Plz id this plant: pa52 – 12dec2012: looks like Dillenia pentagyna not sure This is a sapling of Karmal [Dillenia pentagyna]. Sending a few photographs of some of my saplings for comparison.
Dillenia pentagyna: Beautiful ! The tree can be seen in Chennai in Madras Christian College Campus. I have seen this in flowering there.
Musa sp. (?) from Kamrup district, Assam: Attached images are Musa sp.(?) collected from hilly area. Please ID for it.
Date : 21.12.2012 Location: Kamrup district, Assam Family : Musaceae ? Genus & species : Musa sp. (?) Habitat: Grows wild on hilly area Habit : Herb Flower : Not seen Pl. check Ensete superba I don’t think is a Musa or even a member of that family. The venation of the leaves is wrong and it looks as if the leaves arise from a true stem on short petioles. I would think this is a dicot. Do you have any photos showing the stem? I think this is a seedling of the large deciduous tree Dillenia pentagyna. Family: Dilleniaceae. It does look something like D.pentagyna, though I am not very familiar with the plant and would not be able to tell for sure. But I have attached a picture that I took some time back. Sorry for the low quality. I think that this is indeed Dillenia pentagyna.
Tree ID request – RK105 – 19-Feb-2013: Yes … Dillenia pentagyna (family: Dilleniaceae).

Dillenia For ID : Lalbagh,Bangalore : 08DEC14 : AK-27 : 10 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (4).
Small tree with large leaves. No flowers or fruits seen. Looks more like Dillenia indica. Leaves of D.pentagyna are more serrated. Watch out for the flowers. I am familiar with Dillenia indica.
These leaves were different.
Adding a picture of Dillenia indica for comparison. It is Dillenia sp. But i am unable to identify the species. In wild we have D. pentagyna in our forest but this seems to be a planted sp. so cud also be D.indica. Thanks for your feedback. Its a small tree, not seen the flowers as yet. Will add them as and when I get to see them. So current working diagnosis is DIllenia sp… I think its Dillenia pentagyna. I was lucky to see this tree fruiting during my recent visit to Lalbagh.
Adding the pictures taken on 29th March,16.
They were approx the size of a cherry, little smaller.
It is Dillenia pentagyna. Attachments (3) Has to be Dillenia pentagyna Thanks for validation. Hope to catch up with the flowers sometime in future.

Photo Take, March h_2017
