. A simple key from Dr. Almeida’s flora Vol IV-B pg 350:
1. Unarmed; leaves 2.5-8cm long —— Fluggea obovata (now Flueggea virosa)
2. Spinous; leaves rarely exceeding 2.5 cm long —- Fluggea leucopyrus . As per efi thread :
Duthie in his document Flora of Upper Gangetic Plains has also mentioned these two species and differentiate them as- Unarmed; leaves 1-3 inches long ………… F. microcarpa (now Flueggea virosa)
Spinous; leaves rarely exceeding 1 inch long ……… F.leucopyrus
He has mentioned its (F.microcarpa) distribution in Bengal also.
Spines in F.leucopyrus are not distributed all along the branch but slender angular branchlets ends in a sharp spine;
,
As per efi thread: F.virosa has small prickles, but it not prominent in its life cycle, prominent in leucopyrus. .

Flueggea sp. for ID??? – 02122013-PKA2 : Attachments (7). 8 posts by 4 authors.
This Shrub was spotted near Lonavala.
Pedicels were very short, almost sessile, flowers were 2 to 3mm in size. Could this be some Flueggea sp. (Family: Phyllanthaceae).
Date/Time: 1st December/ 10:30AM. I am almost sure that it is Flueggea virosa, For me, the leaves are enough to confirm its identity What about Maytenus rothiana? If the flowers are 2-3 mm, then leaves are about 1 cm (pls confirm), branchlets are terminating in spines, pedicels are shorter than 1 cm. This is female plant of Fluggea leucopyrus. Yes. Branchlets are ending into spines. Hence it is Flueggea leucopyrus and not F. virosa. Thanks to … Yes it looks more like Flueggea leucopyrus. I was referring to my earlier pictures and made a wild guess. One important point mentioned here by …: Male and female flowers look very different. Here I can notice the ovary like structure rather than some stamens indicating a female nature of the plant.
