Do they grow solitary or are they found in clusters?


nice photos…
…is Hiptage benghalensis Synonyms of Hiptage madablota or they different ?
Also read… cityfarmer    …it’s interesting.

Hiptage benghalensis is synonym to H. madoblata, commomnly known as Madhabilata. Sometimes Quisqualis indica, the Rangoon creeper is erroneously called Madhabilata.


We generally call Quisqualis indica as MADHUMALATI.

It looks like Hiptage benghalensis (except for the first picture). It is usually a woody climber. Family: Malpighiaceae.
If it is a tree, then it may be a different species of Hiptage.

Thanks …, It looks like it
It looked like a shrub and the branches looked more a climber.
It definetely didn’t look like a tree
Wiki says the following:
H. benghalensis is a stout, high-climbing liana or large shrub, with white or yellowish hairs on the stem. Its leaves are lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate and approximately 20 cm (8 in) long,[1] and 9 cm (4 in) broad; petioles are up to 1 cm long.[5] It has scandent branches up to 5 m (16 ft) high.[1]

Hiptage benghalensis.
Madhavi lata.
Family : Malpighiaceae.
Native. Found in western ghats too.


This has very interesting fruits(?). They have three wings and if you throw them up in the air, they fall spiraling. My little cousin calls them helicopter seeds 🙂

THESE FRUITS ARE FALLEN ON GROUND IN FOREST NEAR DAPOLI, DIS – RATNAGIRI, MAHARASHTRA I TRIED MY LEVEL BEST FOR FINDING SOURCE OF PLANT (TREE, SHRUB, CLIMBER), UNFORTUNATELY I CANT.


I think these are Hiptage Benghalensis fruits. We do some green connect programs with kids and this is a great hit with them! If you throw the seeds into the air, they come twirling down. They call it ‘helicopter fruits’ 🙂
It has quite lovely white and yellow flowers. It’s a woody climbing shrub.
