Attachments (3). very nice. curious to know what did the tree itself look like, how tall, canopy shape, trunk bark the original post can be found at efi thread, where I uploaded two individuals. Both the trees seemed to me same, about 25 ft high, and I have recorded the bark of one. I do not have canopy or trunk photographs of this particular individual. Otherwise I would have uploaded the same in this thread. Litsea glutinosa Thank you once again Sir. Earlier, in 2012, I posted both the tress (this one and the previous one) in a single thread. Attaching 2 sets of pictures that i think are of same species.
While ‘set1’ (4 images in total) is taken at Gobra Rly. Platform, ‘set2’ was recorded on the next day 1 km away from the first site.
Could it be the same Litsea glutinosa as in efi thread ?

I think it is Litsea glutinosa unless experts think otherwise. yes, It is Litsea glutinosa Male plant For me the ID is correct. Could be Litsea glutinosa var. glutinosa as the lateral veins are more than 8 pairs.

Umbellularia californica at VJBU : Attachments (3). 6 posts by 4 authors. Umbellularia californica, native of California (U.S.), commonly known as: California bay, California bay laurel, California laurel, cinnamon bush, headache tree, Oregon myrtle, peppernut tree, pepperwood, spicebush Date/Time : August 12, 2007 at 4.11pm IST I have doubts that this is Umbellularia. The foliage shape looks different and the flower on your specimen seems more “open”.
If you crush the foliage of Umbellularia, it is VERY pungently aromatic, often to the point where it can’t be tolerated. Please confirm if possible. The tree is likely some sort of Lauraceae nonetheless. Attached is a link with a better close-up of Umbellularia inflorescence. (Black on foliage is sooty mold. This plant is a very common host for various scale insects in its native range here in California, USA). Many many thanks for the review, Kenneth … …, please re-consider. I had observed this plant at VJBU during my research Further feedback from another thread: I am not sure if we are still talking about the same plant but the picture on … flicker link is of Litsea chinensis. This species is closely allied to L.deccanensis but differs in having umbellules on a peduncled umbell (as seen in … picture) while Litsea deccanensis has solitary umbellules.

I also mean L chinensis which is blooming now in other places around Mumbai Google search on Litsea chinensis generally throws up Litsea chinensis Lam. as a syn. of Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) C.B. Robinson as per the following link:
LITSEA CHINENSIS LAM – ijrpc (2012- pdf)
While The Plant List treats them as separate species, while there is no mention of Litsea chinensis in eflora of China (Litsea glutinosa in Flora of China @ efloras.org) etc.
I am confused. Pl. clarify.

Request TreeID-070909 : 9 posts by 7 authors. Attachments (5) flowers pic is not clear… It could be a Litsea sp. possibly Litsea tersa [L.chinensis]. Thank you … for the possible ID. The charactersitics of leaves and flowers match well. However I would like to point out the discrepancy in the citation of first person to discover the Species. In T.Cooke on Pg. 539 it is mentioned as Litsea chinensis Lam. Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) C.B.Rob. = Litsea chinensis Lam. So far as I know, Litsea glutinosa will have both primary and secondary peduncles. It does look like L. chinensis but it is not possible from these pics to be 100 percent sure that it is not L. deccanensis which has solitary umbellules.

The leaves of this species, inflorescence, indumentum are variable in this species also. Unless one sees its fruit the id can not be ascertained. In this particular specimen, recorded today (16.6.15), except petiole leaves are glabrous on both surface, leaves are crowed at the tip of branches, inflorescence also confined at the tip of the branches.
The last two pictures of fruits, recorded in 2013, show difference of this species with L. monopetala (Roxb.) Pers. I mean last two pics are fruits of this species whereas fruits of L. monopetala can be seen in my earlier upload.
Flowers of this very small tree.
Found this caterpillar of common mime butterfly today on this very tree…. this is the first time I record one mime cat, and that too on LHP.

In the earlier post I attached three collage to explain the life cycle of COMMON MIME (CLYTIA). There was a surprise waiting for me. As I wrote earlier, I picked up two mature larva on 21-5-2017 and kept in my room. Both of them pupate on 23-5-2017. Pupa which was formed earlier did not release butterfly on 3-6-2017. I thought it might have reached a dead end. But today at 7.57 AM I observed change in colour to the pupa and new that butterfly will emerge soon.

Fwd: OBSERVATION : PUPA OF COMMON MIME DEVOURED BY CIVET CAT : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (6)
A few days back I collected few larvae from a Litsea glutinosa (MAIDA LAKRI/ KUKUR CHITA/ BAGNARA) tree. The were kept on an earthen plate in the balcony of our house. All the three larvae turned in to pupa on 25-6-2017.
After 12 days pupa from the 3rd larva released a Common Mime butterfly (dissimilis form). No butterfly was released on the 13 th day from the remaining two pupa. But on the 14th day when I reached balcony at about 5 AM to see the progress on the two remaining pupa I found the plate lying on the table the two pupa missing. Tell tale sign indicated a civet cat visited the place. I concluded that the pupa were devoured by the civet cat. I could not capture the incident on camera. Attaching few images to show the progress of larva to pupa, progress of pupa and release of butterfly from one pupa.

Found this tree in Yelagiri hills of Eastern ghats at an elevation of 1500 M. It is a member of Lauraceae family as seen from flower. Can it be Litsea monopetala. Great. by the looks of the pictures background it seems the pictures were taken indoors. i see room wall and roof meeting line? so did the flowers wilt while the twig was brought indoors? I didn’t take the camera handy. So I plucked a twig and captured in a room. Also check for Anogeissus latifolia.
It is Litsea glutinosa of Lauraceae
