Many places Gymnosporia is treated as synonym of Maytenus; but one comment from Dr Archer in … post is worth heeding:
I confirmed this with Ms Jordaan, the authority on the genus Gymnosporia. This is definitely a good species but it should be listed as Gymnosporia puberula M.A.Lawson. It looks very different from Gymnosporia senegalensis. According to a number of studies it is now very clear there is no species of Maytenus in India or anywhere else but South America.

Called Hiradi in Thane Maytenus wallichiana ( Spreng.ex Wight & Arn. ) D.C.S.Raju & Babu. (=Gymnosporia wallichiana) – celastraceae shrub Maytenus rothiana It may be a Gymnosporia species. it is Maytenus sps.. most probably M. heyneana; also check with M. puberula. Maytenus puberula is unarmed. Maytenus heyneana (Gymnosporia heyneana) seems different from M. rothiana (Gymnosporia rothiana) as per the following:
The Plant List:
According to your references it does seem to be different.
I was going by Dr Almeida’s Fl of Mah in which Maytenus heyneana (Roth) has M. rothiana listed as a synonym. The plant described is what I have always known as M. rothiana, common in Maharashtra. Then I looked it up and assumed it must be the same plant. In BSI fl of Mah there is no Maytenus heyneana. The plant in question was photographed in Maharashtra. Thanks, …, As per Gymnosporia also, Maytenus heyneana may nort be found in Maharastra.
In view taking it as M. rothiana (Gymnosporia rothiana)

Pl see Attached 2 pic for ID. from Kaiga, Kaiga Uttarakannada Western Ghats.
Date/Time-:05/06/2016 – 10:30, Appears to be a Euphorbiaceae member? Could be a Celastraceae member. It might be Gymnosporia rothiana. The leaf in the first picture belongs to another plant. Yes, tend to agree with … The photos must be saturated and hence the colour I think, but otherwise, the reddish tinge is fine for the plant. I’ve seen the same coloured seeds (photos attached from Agumbe) in Agumbe and Udupi districts. They are more red when the fruit has just dehisched while older dehisched fruits show a duller coloured seed, as per my observation (don’t have photos unfortunately, will make sure to click next time). Attachments (1) . Matheran, MH :: Tree for ID :: ARK2021-004 : 3 images. Resembles Celastraceae, Could be Gymnosporia, Available pics on efi point to G. rothiana, even the location matches.
Would be happy to get it validated. Looks matching with Gymnosporia wightiana (Babu) R. S. Rao ! Gymnosporia rothiana Gymnosporia wightiana (Babu) R. S. Rao

Study of Flacourtia – indiantreepix | Google Groups . ID request-PKA180612-PKA2: Seen this Climbing shrub en-route Peb fort. Requesting ID for this. … strong feeling: Bridelia hamiltoniana … synonym of Bridelia montana. It was raining heavily, rather it was pouring, almost non stop. I was bit reluctant to take out my camera but could not resist the temptation of photographing this plant. Could manage to take few snaps. i guess some Maytenus species, family Celastraceae.. this is Maytenus senegalensis of Celastraceae. I think this is more likely to be Maytenus rothiana because it is flowering now. M. senegalensis typically flowers in oct – nov. Agree with … observations. Some of my photographs of the same. . Id please: 2 images.
I saw a plant yesterday (14.2.21), which reminded me similar plant seen on Kokankada near Harishchandra gad in November 2017.
I think this plant is Maytenus rothiana?? Looks close Gymnosporia wightiana (Babu) R. S. Rao ! Yes it is . Lonavala, MH :: Tree for ID :: ARK2021-038: 3 images. Gymnosporia rothiana . Amboli, MH :: Tree/fruits for ID :: ARK2021-091: 4 images. It was a thicket and it was not easy to locate the leaves of this tree. The images contain a host of leaves.
Is it possible to ID based on fruits? It seems to be Gymnosporia rothiana Oh, thanks …
In that case IMG_5579 could be the leaves?
