Holigarna arnottinana: 5 images.
Some pictures of Holigarna arnottiana (Family – Anacardiaceae) from a wild lot near my home in Trivandrum city.  There were lots of fruits but too high for my camera to capture. Taken on 8th June 2011.


Sorry, the spelling of the species name in the subject line is wrong. It is arnottiana.


Holigarna arnottiana Hook.f. of Anacardiaceae family, a medicinal plant seen mostly in the low elevation (mostly below 400m MSL) forests (evergreen to deciduous) in the Western Ghats.

Very difficult to photograph the flowers of this huge tree. Great efforts!


True … BUT 🙂 if you notice the second-last photo – there was a smaller tree next to it. We found a branch at hand’s reach.

Fruit for Id -ID31032021SH1: 2 images.

Pl. help in identifying these fruits.
Location -Sawantwadi (South Konkan), Maharashtra
Date -March 2021

Meliaceae ?


not Meliaceae; it looks like of Anacardiaceae/Buchnania species???


Could be Holigarna species


Holigarna arnottiana??


Possibilities for Holigarna grahamii (Wight) Kurz.


Thanks, …, for the id.
Yes, more likely to be Holigarna arnottiana as per keys and details at Flora of Peninsular India


Is it a poisonous plant and very irritant to skin ? I overheard the locals mentioning this. They called it ‘रानबिब्बा’ in Marathi.
I have seen ‘बिब्बा’ (Semecarpus anacrdium – Dhobi Ink) from Anacardiaceae – that was a huge tree. Was trying to find the similarities between them.

Very nice pictures. Your ID is correct. This is seen in Western Ghat area of Karnataka. I have seen somewhere near Chickmagalur./  Shimoga


Pili nut… Canarium ovatum….. Underutilized fruit crop of southeast asia.


it seems unlikely that the tree is Canarium ovatum..
