Holoptelea integrifolia- from Pune: The seeds of this fruits are devoured by Parrots very much and I was told by the locals (TN) that the germination rate of these fruits are very minimal (owing to seeds eaten by birds). So a vernacular name for this tree is ‘Thappichan maram’, which translates in to ‘tree grew out of escaped seeds’ Oh! interesting information … Thanks for that.

When I asked the care taker he said he has not seen flowers but pods If I was to hazard a guess, it would be Vavla [Holoptelia integrifolia]. Have a few of these trees on my property. Sending 2 photographs of the leaves for comparison. Many thanks … and … for a possible Id …the tree is flowering . The flowering season is matching with this tree attaching pictures of the same. round globular brown flowers but also many light pink structures are seen. can somebody explain what are these? Sorry I forgot to add all the leaves are shed and are replaced by this round brown flowers Affirmative. The tree is in flower. Will send my photographs of this later. Some of my photographs. Thank you … for the pictures of flowers and fruits. … if it is possible to understand from my not so clear photographs can you explain to me what are those light pink structures in bunches seen in my photographs. I cannot take a close up as they are very high The ‘light pink structures’ are the flowers which are borne in fasicles in the scars of the fallen leaves. Yes … At present Holoptela integrifolia is in bloom in Pune. Superb … you are just great in photography . What are those bifid light pink structures attached to the fruit? Is it the stigma. I think these are the light pink structures I am seeing in my photographs and have been asking about it. On the net everywhere they have described flowers as green, yellow or brown and I was seeing brown and light pink and thus wanted to know about it. I will be grateful if you could explain I have not studied this particular flower from botanical point of view but this has to be a bifid stigma with the ovary attached behind gradually getting converted to a fruit with winged surface around it . Attaching pictures of the fruit and flowers of this tree as I see today

This appears to be Holoptelea integrifolia Planch. [Ulmaceae]. Quite common in Ahmedabad. Plenty of Holoptelia integrifolia in Mysore. This is known as Chira bilva in ayurveda and all the plant parts are of medicinal use. However, I have a doubt: leaves shape look slightly different. Is there any eco variation. Can you post a better habit photo (the present one is very hazy on enlarging) as well as those of flowers and especially fruits. Please check my posting at: MS/2018/ September/1: Holoptelia inegrifolia. Just now posted. Perhaps it may appear in tomorrow’s abridged summary. just saw it. nice pics, … I too have a doubt.
