Grewia serrulata

karnala june 2014


It is Grewia nervosa, which shows yellow flower and unlobed drupes.. Grewia serrulata having white coloured flower and drupe is two lobed.
I too think that this is G nervosa, after looking at shape of the leaves and flower of both the species. It was troubling me earlier.
G. serrulata does have yellow flowers sometimes and unfortunately the drupes are not formed yet.

On the next visit to Karnala I shall surely visit the tree again to look at the drupes.


This is Microcos paniculata L. 

Syn: Grewia microcos L.
Grewia nervosa (Lour.) Panigr.

Flowers terminal and subtended in 3 involucre bract.
