Shooting trip to Morni-Wedlandia heynei:
This plant was photographed from Morni Hills on 10th April, 2011 during our recent trip to that area. I am uploading this specially to seek my apologies from … On my way back, I recalled the name of this small tree abundant in the area. The tree is actually Wendlandia heynei syn. Rondeletia heynei, Rondeletia exserta, Wendlandia exserta from Rubiaceae – Wendlandia heynei is a more recent name suggested by Santapau and Merchant in 1962 for a species known in older Indian Floras under the name W. exserta DC. – commonly known as: tilki • Assamese: কদম kadam • Bengali: mimri, tilki • Gujarati: તિલ til • Hindi: तिलक tilak • Marathi: तीळ til • Punjabi: ਪਨਸੀਰਾ pansira • Sanskrit: तिलकः tilakah • Tamil: கதம்பம் katampam • Telugu: తెల్లపూచు tellapucu … about an year back, had found this species (most probably planted) in a village near base of Ratangad – Kalsubai range (on Bhandardhara side). Thus there is a chance finding it in Kalsubai Harishchandragad Wildlife

clicked from- Chandigarh near sukhna lake, total two trees in that area
time of shoot-10:30 am
bright sunny, temperature ~ 33 degree C max. 19 degree C min
Size-medium sized tree
canopy not so prominent rather very thin and without any particular shape
bark deeply fissured and almost zig-zags along the trunk
leaves none complete, either dried or torn
young leaves intact and hairy
flowers white, very mildly fragrant (sweet fragrance)
flowers bracted and whole of the inflorescence hairy or with a felt like coating

Wendlandia heynei (Schult.) Santapau & Merchant syn: Wendlandia exserta (Roxb.) DC
Uploaded earlier from Morni, this tree dominates the lower slopes of Dalhousie looking very beautiful with bunches of white flowers. Photographed from Badhani on way to Dalhousie. very nice. what time of the year does it flower? April early to late depending on altitude lingering into early May at higher altitudes. Recently I had posted one Wendlandia from Western ghats.
Can you elaborate on the nature of leaves here?
As far as I know the leaves are whorled at apex of branches in W. thyrsoidea whereas it is not so in W. heynei The crucial difference … is opposite leaves in W. heynei as against 3 in a whorl in W. thyrsoides. Ok. Please have a look at my post later.
