tree with green fruits, mahabaleshwar
first week of march, 2013
small tree with fruits which were about 15mm long
saw quite a few of these trees
would very much appreciate an id

Looks like Ligustrum perrottetii?

I too thinks so


many thanks for the id
though I should have known it as I had photographed the flowers of this species in september 2012
attaching them in this mail

yes this is Ligustrum perrottii


I thought Ligustrum fruits turn black early. Surprised that not a single fruit is mature enough to be black here in the pictures. That would have made the ID easier.
Am I right?

Ligustrum neilgherrense var. obovata : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3).
The profuse flowering of this tree species as Ided by Dr. Almeida was seen predominantly last week (2.10.10) at Amboli, Maharashtra. As explained by sir the sticks are removed, slightly burned to get different coloured walking sticks.

I could not understand the meaning of “different coloured walking stick”. Can you kindly explain it to me.


Different colours of paint can be applied on the wood to match your clothes instead of just brown and white … ! Just like you like to have different coloured fruits all the time!! Hope your research is going well. One more important use I forgot to mention earlier is that this is a non-conventional seed oil plant and the quality of oil is similar to olive oil.

Habit: A medium sized tree 

Habitat: Wild, Shola forest 

Sighting: Mullaianagiri, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1700 msl 

Date: 05-11-2015


At the outset  (based on the fruits)  the tree looks like Spondias dulcis. But not sure  as the photographs are not clear. Are there any more  photos clearly depicting the  foliage and flowers etc. for proper ID


It is tree belongs to the family Oleaceae- Chionanthus ramiflorus Roxb.(= Linociera ramiflora (Roxb.) Wall.)


Its Ligustrum perrotetii


I do not see the plant. Both are closely related plants. I agree with …


Thanks … Noted the ID.

Found in Kolli hills of Eastern ghats.
Small tree.

Fruits remind me of Oleaceae


A species of Ligustrum

It is Ligustrum gamblei Ramamoorthy; ref Flora of Tamilnadu & Carnatic by K.M.Mathew


Chionanthus mala-elengi (Dennst.) P.S. Green


It is not Chionanthus mala-elengi (Dennst.) P.S. Green. Pl check this photograph at

Comparative photographs in the web do not tally with Ligustrum gamblei Ramamoorthy

To me also look different from images at  http://www.biotik
Can it be Ligustrum perrottetii A. DC as per images herein.

It seems you are correct; for lack of clear flower picture and measurements it is difficult to judge at first glance sometimes.

You may be right. But it is difficult to judge in the absence of the comparative photographs to verify.

Never seen this. Thanks for sharing this species.


Is this the same as Ligustrum Perrottetii (or neilgherrense). Found at Nilgiris, 1300 MSL on a steep mountain slope. Attachments (1)


The following may be relevant:
1. Ligustrum (Oleaceae) in Southern India – Jstor by PS Green – ‎1990

Summary: Ligustrum (Oleaceae) in southern India. P. S. GREEN. Summary. A critical review of the material in the Kew Herbarium of Ligustrum from the Western Ghats, including some recent collections, has led to the conclusion that only one species, L. perrottetii A.DC., should be recognised, although one or two aberrant forms need to be studied in the field.

2. From Biotik:
Ligustrum gamblei Ramamoorthy
Ligustrum perrottetii A. DC.
