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. .

I think this is a shrub. But as i said earlier that villagers often cut or prune weeds, making it difficult to ascertain the status of a particular plant.
According to FoC it maybe Flueggea virosa (Roxburgh ex Willdenow) Voigt, Hort. Suburb. Calcutt. 152. 1845.
According to The Plant List and FoP it might be Flueggea virosa subsp. virosa.
Found no Bengali name.
Fruits are soft and juicy. Nice set of photographs … The fruits similar to that of Flueggea leucopyrus. While searching the ID of this plant, yesterday, i read the FoC and FoP. Both of those efloras inform that Flueggea leucopyrus is spiny (FoC) or thorny (FoP).
Did i miss the thorns/spines in reality? Or the plant itself lacks those? I grabbed one plant to take closer picture and didn’t feel any spine.
I was rechecking the high resolution images i have in my folder (i can send you). I think the blackish tipped small growths are stipules, in my species.
Bengal Plants has only one Flueggea.
Fl. Br. Ind. informs F. leucopyrus is distributed in “The Punjab Plain, Deccan Peninsula, from Canara southwards, Burma, Ceylon.”
I am not sure if some of F. leucopyrus have reached West Bengal in the past hundred years. I have seen Flueggea leucopyrus which has white fruits similar to ones shown here (Hence the name) but the plant is not thorny. It may be Flueggea virosa with its synonym Flueggea microcarpa. Flueggea microcarpa is distributed throughout India, as per FBI-
May also like to visit –
Any further input? 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
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.
Both of these species are mentioned growing in Kumaon but I have seen only F.microcarpa which is a small shrubby plant and resemble closely to your plant. Thanks…
This is a very nice and clear key. Thank you very much.
As for shrub or not, Bengal Plants informs Flueggea microcarpa Bl. is a deciduous large shrub or tree weed.
As for thorns in F. leucopyrus you can check Flora Indica – Book link Yes the book says same what I believe about thorns..”They may be called spinous tipped branchlets ” Congratulations …, long ago i have admitted your power of observations. Attaching few my pictures (3) of Securinega leucopyrus in flowering.
My analysis: A Shrub generally doesn’t have a single trunk. Classic case here. I have seen most of theses plants like this These branch like things arising from main stem/trunk/trunks are long often drooping. They produce small branches so probably called as branchlets in the said book. They have few leaves and never long what you are asking for….. Why the tips are thorny??? I can’t answer that. Protection mechanism …may be. Anyway the artist who has made this illustration seems to be good one preparing it so perfect. Have you ever seen what happens to a tree or a shrub when its main trunk is cut at the very base? Come on … Why are you asking such questions?
Let nature take its own course when some external forces are applied. We are interested here in something else………….. ok Satish Sir, let’s return to the root issue. Which species is my plant? Bengal Plants equates Flueggea microcarpa Bl. with two F. I. plants – Phyllanthus virosus and P. retusus. Let’s see what FI informs ( i will copy salient features i need to id) –
1) P. retusus R. : shrubby, berries pendulous, pure white, six seeded, seed two in each cell, or in all six, separated in to pairs by pulpy partitions
2) P. virosus Willd. : middle sized tree, berries succulent, white, pendulous, six seeded, fleshy pulp, three celled
3) P. leucopyrus Kon.: shrubby, armed, berry dry, six seeded. And you have reminded me what the name suggests
Now, you can tell us what you have observed about berries in your plant.
I have just taken a couple of snaps for your perusal In the illustration of F.leucopyrus, the branchlets ends in thorn. Thorn is a modified branch or shoot. Whereas the ‘spine’ is a modified leaf or its part or even stipules. I have seen F. leucopyrus, which is one of the common members in a deciduous or semi evergreen forests in Kerala often with thorns. Accidently I came across the same species in evergreen forests , where the thorns are absent and ends with leafy branches. This may not be a constant taxonomic character (It is my opinion only). Thank you Sir, Now i will be able to learn some abc of botany. Pity on FoC, they do not have you in their board.

Flueggea leucopyrus ???— 02122013- PKA1 : Attachments (7). 9 posts by 5 authors.
I had seen this Shrub here in Mumbai in June. Could this be Flueggea leucopyrus?? No. The inflorescence is very different. I think Yes. I was confused. It is indeed Flueggea virosa I had also posted one more Flueggea (from Lonavala). The flower pedicel in my lonavala post were very small (almost sessile) where as the one i had posted here is having pedicels close to 1cm. It a widespread and very variable species. Leaves larger 3-5 cm (?), branchlets not terminating in spines, pedicels longer 1 cm. This is male plant of F. virosa. Thanks … for the inputs. Good learning experience. Clear male flowers.
Plant Characters indicating F.virosa. F.virosa seems very variable; so much so that male and female flowers may be on same plant (as I have seen here in Pantnagar) or may be on different plants as in this case (as indicated by …). The expert may have the final word.
Konkan, May 2014 :: Requesting ID of this shrub :: 01JUN014 :: ARK-03 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (7). Looks like some Phyllanthaceae sp.. Check for Flueggea … It looks like Flueggea virosa but the small spinules on the branches are puzzling. Let us wait for the opinion of the expert on this genus. Let me express my opinion. Unfortunately due to my frequent transfers, I lost the reprint on the monograph of Fluggea sent to me long back by Late G. L. Webster. However I confirm that it is not F. leucopyrus and it indeed represents F. virosa a variable and widespread species. Even I have seen capsular and drupaceous fruits in this species. However, the prickles are never recorded on the branches and I myself have never seen it. Could it possibly represent a new variety on this character. Let the photographer decide it.
Tree for ID : Nashik, Maharashtra 23June : PP01: 8 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (3). Glochidion sp In fact Glochidion has sessile and connate anthers. It is therefore some other genus. The leaves are like Flueggea virosa but the doubt is, the pedicels and filaments are longer that usual. Nothing else comes to mind for the present. Kindly ckeck the plant the morphology plant does not resemble with the Glochidon Flueggea virosa … can wait for the fruits to come up.

EUPHORBIACEAE WEEK — Fluegggea revisited:
Are Flueggea virosa and leucopyrus one and the same ? For some time i believed that the pics attached here are those of Flueggea leucopyrus. This specimen had grey-whitish branches, unarmed, except the ends of lower branches were spine tipped. But chancing upon .. comment (1st link ) that the spine tipped branches would be an indicator for which species, I re-checked the descriptions from the links below. – Would like to inform that as per Kew Plant List Fluggea species are now in the family Phyllanthaceae. The species under discussion are two distinct species : Your picture appears to me as Fluggea virosa due to the description you have given of spines only in the lower main branches, and I can see small lenticular specks on the bark which is indicative of the species. In Fluggea leucopyrus the branches are somewhat straggling, branchlets angular, slender, and ending in sharp spines.

collected from Road side Kasargode Kerala I would rather think of Flueggea but the branches are sterile. A personal communication from …: I am extremely sorry … I haven’t got much information for the plant that is why I was not able to mention the details.
I shall try collect more information regarding the plant.
Thanks to … for yor kind efforts. I think close to images at Flueggea virosa (Roxb. ex Willd.) Royle . Please identify: 1 image. I think it should be Flueggea sp. I think it is close to the images at Flueggea virosa (Roxb. ex Willd.) Royle Yes, Fluggea virosa, . Shrub: 1 high res. image. It reminds me of Flueggea virosa [Phyllanthaceae]. . References:
