Could you help determining this tree species.?
Location: Bandipur 600m asl. central Nepal. Picture taken: 25 Sept 2018.
tree 10m, Stem and branches are thorny. Fruits were bright red one week ago (15 sept) now turned dark and brown.
I guess its Chukrasia (meliaceae), but literature do not mention about the thorns.

Looks different from images at
Pl. check

Thank you very much. It could be some member of Araliaceae as you suggested.


I am going to Bandipur tomorrow. Can you please tell me where exactly the tree is?

Thank you for your interest. When you go up from Dumre towards Bandipur, it should be at the halfway. I think you should not reach to goat farm. Its near small settlemet. A resturant nearby. At least not thick forest on both sides. Its on the left side of the road. Only one individual of this species. You can see the tree from road while driving up. Tree does not look high from road as it is rooted on the slope.
I have tentative location attched. I did not record GPS there.  But keep watching on left side of the road.
Hope you will notice it.

Thank you for the email and support.
…: Thank you very much. I am sorry I do not have better photos. I think you are right. If this is Zanthoxylum rhetsa, it will be a new edition to flora of Nepal. 

Thanks, … In this situation, it will be nice if you can check other species also in efi site at

Here is Zanthoxylum rhetsa tree f. rutaceae, showing its spinous bark and prickly branches seen below Aswalkhind in Mahad taluka in konkan.
So far I have seen this tree only in the forests and that also occasionally.
Small round hard berry-like fruits are used as spice in sea food.
or photo of the flowers I have referreda book `further Flowers of Sahyadri..
could not see flowers and fruits this time. I wonder whether it is cultivated or grows only in nature
i have seen it before on Patan- Koyana road near Koyana and in Dev-rai near Shedani on Mulashi- Lonavala road..

What are the species reported from the area?
Also species available in efi site so far at Zanthoxylum

Does look like Zanthoxylum. The infructescence is massive. Have not seen this here and am unfamiliar with it…may not be able to help you with the species..


Zanthoxylum acanthopodium
The collector from Senapati, Manipur told me it to be Zanthoxylum limonella (Synonym of Zanthoxylum rhetsa)
 Zanthoxylum armatum syn Zanthoxylum alatum
Zanthoxylum nitidum
http://www.faunajournal.com/vol4issue4/4-3-14-357.pdf
All Indian Zanthoxylum species may be available in the North East India.

 

Zanthoxylum acanthopodium
Family: Rutaceae
Loc.: Itanagar Vegetable market, Arunachal Pradesh
Uses: Leaves are boiled and eaten.


This is not Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC., as rachis is not winged.
It appears close to images at Zanthoxylum rhetsa DC.


Zanthoxylum spp. tender shoots, leaves used vegetables in Northeast India…. Underutilsed vegetable.
