Details & keys In Flora ofIndia Vol-2 by BSI with distribution : The account of Flacourtiaceae is written by R.L.Mitra. This
document (Mitra, 1993) have mentioned presence of following wild/ Cultivated species in
India-

1- Flacourtia helferi Gamble ex Ridley (India: Assam (Sibsagar, Moriani forest). Rare; Myanmar (Tenasserim))
2- Flacourtia indica (Burm. f.) Merr. (India: Throughout in dry thickets, scrub jungles, dry deciduous and mixed forests, up to 1200 m. Common; Widespread in S.E. Asia and tropical Africa)
6- Flacourtia inermis Roxb. (Probably a native of Malaya, cultivated in some parts of Maharashtra, Kerala and elsewhere for the acidic fruits seems to be good for jams and pickles)
3- Flacourtia jangomas (Lour.) Raeusch. (line diagram provided) (India: Frequently semi wild in Brahmaputra Valley and adjoining areas in the North-east (probably originally from Bangladesh-Assam-Upper Myanmar), elsewhere cultivated. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh; Widely cultivated in S.E. Asia and E. Africa)
4- Flacourtia latifolia (Hook. f. & Thomson) Cooke (India: Semi evergreen and moist deciduous forests of Western Ghats, up to 1200 m. Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala)
5- Flacourtia montana Grahams (India: Semievergreen and moist deciduous forests of Western Ghats, up to 1000 m (1800 m). Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala)
7- Flacourtia rukkam Zoll. & Mor. (A native of Malaya, sometimes cultivated for the edible acidic fruits palatable by rubbing between palms)

No Flacourtia seems threatened in India as no species is mentioned in Red Data Book of Indian Plants by Nayar and Sastry (1987-90).  


As stated by K.M. Matthew in his Excursion Flora of Central TN: The phenology of this tree (Flacourtia ramontchii) changes with altitude gradient; i.e., smallest in deciduous zone (lower), Medium at ca. 750msl, and exceptionally larger ones in sholas.

Some authors like Matthew accept this species (Flacourtia ramontchii) as distinct while some others consider it a form of Flacourtia indica. This is a high altitude replacement of the latter species, and quite distinct and its a tree with no spines on branchlets (only trunk spiny). F. indica is always a shrub of scrub jungles with prominent spines on branchlets.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Flacourtia

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.

If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.

Any comments/ corrections are welcome
