. The leaves of Haldina cordifolia (Roxb.) Ridsdare heart shaped with long petiole, and crowded at the end of branches; flowers with pale yellowish lobes and pinkish tube.. Haldina cordifolia was originally described by William Roxburgh which is characteristic by the orbicular -cordate leaves, orbicular-oblong stipules, yellow flowers and very peculiar calyx, which are 5-lobed.
Mitragyna parviflora also described by Roxburgh remarkably different from Haldinia cordifolia by the presence of 2 linear-oblong reduced leaves at the base of flower head, obovate stipules, entire calyx limb etc. Leaves are highly variable in later from orbicular, oblong,ovate or cordate hence are not a reliable character for species delimitation.

VOF Trek: Haldina cordifolia ?? en-route Devprayag: Even though the location where i had seen this tree was far away from VOF, i thought of sharing these pics as these were photographed while we got stranded near Dev-Prayag due to Landslide. It took almost 3 hours before the road got cleared for on ward journey. Our entire journey till Joshimath was full of hick ups due to frequent land slides every now and then.
Even though we started from Rishikesh early morning by 04:00AM, we could just managed to reach Karna-Prayag by evening 06:00PM. Second day was bit easy going as we could reach Joshimath by 03:00PM. Thanks to Land slide as i could capture some interesting plants like Ceropegia… Coming to the tree here, i think this looks like Haldina cordifolia, (Family: Rubiaceae). Date/Time: 05-08-2012 / 10:40AM Habitat: Wild. Plant Habit: Tree. Yes … These trees were much plenty enroute and we also observed them. Thanks for sharing! .
