Please check Syzigium. Pl. check comparative images in efi. I think it is close to images at Syzygium zeylanicum (L.) DC. .   ID Please: 2 high res. images. Please help with the identification of this unique plant – Location: Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India Date: May 30, 2024 Elevation: <200m Habit : Dry laterite hill Was it a herb, shrub or a tree? Planted or wild? Pl. check and post one high res. image to see more details: https://efloraofindia.com/efi/plinia-cauliflora/ Can it be a Memecylon species like Looks like memecylon sp. Only Not memecylon Was it a herb, shrub or a tree? Planted or wild? Pl. post one high res. image to see more details. It was a wild plant, and a herb I assume. Unfortunately these are the only pics available. But these are low res. images. Pl. post the original high res. images to see more details. It is also possible that it may an Apocynaceae member as per images at https://efloraofindia.com/efi/apocynaceae/ https://efloraofindia.com/efi/cryptolepis-buchananii/ Pl. post the original high res. images to see more details. 2 high res. images. I also agree with … first and … opinions. Leaves in the images seems to be simple, and base leaf blade slightly curved inwards. Leaves of C. buchananii are leathery or flexible, and so as it is a climber, it’s leaves are never been arranged in same parity even if it trailing on bare ground like leaves in the images. The leaf arrangement in the images have very uniformity. And C. buchananii sprouts always having a twining tendency, but the image shows a hard sprout. Afterall, I am strongly suggests it as Memecylon. There is a possibility for Eugenia species. Looking close to Eugenia rottleriana But leaves look different from Eugenia rottleriana as per https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/11588 https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/FloraPeninsular/herbsheet.php?id=6271&cat=7 https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:595817-1 https://www.gbif.org/species/5416718 Leaves somewhat appears closer to https://efloraofindia.com/efi/eugenia-uniflora/ But not sure about the genus itself. Syzygium zeylanicum var zeylanicum Yes, it is Syzygium zeylanicum var zeylanicum. . References: |
