Flora of Chakrata Part-2: Haldinia cordifolia from Dakpathar Assan Barrage Nature Park: Haldinia cordifolia from Dakpathar Assan Barrage Nature Park


I am not sure about the id of this plant. It doesn’t looks like Haldina cordifolia of Rubiaceae family to me.  I think the one in … Flickr photo stream is H. cordifolia @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/870235799/


Yes … i also have some doubts about its id. My id was based on the sign board available on the plant. As it was so high i could not get closeup of flowers. I will try to have close up of flowers fruits next time


looks like Kydia calycina


what could be the meaning of उपयोग: खिलौने एवं स्केल?
toys are made from the wood of this tree? Why perticularly this tree? What is स्केल? measuring scale?
Just wondering what the sign wanted to say.


Scale means Measuring scale


Yes … This plant should be Kydia calycina (commonly known as Pula) as suggested by … Both of these trees are frequent in the area.


A couple of pictures of Haldinia cordifolia. This is of a sapling. Couldn’t get pictures of the mother tree since the leaves were very high. Taken on Aug 15 2011, from Mannarkad, Palakkad district, Kerala. Please confirm id.
