Elaeocarpus species ?;
.
. eleocarpus for identification: i think this is Elaeocarpus ganitrus . I have collected a few seeds of the attached near Dandeli, along the road side. Not expecting they would germinate, I sowed them in poly bags at home and within 5 days they germinated. Unfortunately I do not pictures of the mother tree, but have attached a few pictures of the seedlings and the seed. Sorry if I’m asking too much from what I have, I am very new to flora and am very interested in learning more. I have checked biotik.org and the closest I could match to the leaves of the seedlings are of Elaeocarpus munronii. I’m not sure. http://biotik.org/india/species/e/elaemunr/elaemunr_en.html Date/Time- May 2011 Location- Place, Altitude, GPS- Dandeli, Uttara Kannada District, Karnataka Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type- Wild, in Semi-evergreen forest Plant Habit- Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb- Tree Height/Length- 20-25 meters Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- Simple Inflorescence Type/ Size- Flowers Size/ Colour/ Calyx/ Bracts- Fruits Type/ Shape/ Size Seeds- Hard and irregular textures I think we should wait for the mature leaves, at least to go for a guess. . |
