Plz id this tree: pa77 – 8jan2013:
Plz id this tree from Yeoor region. It is fruiting now and the photos of same are atached. I think it is Gardenia plant but I wish to learn how to seperate Gardenia gumifera and Gardenia resinifera ?

---

Gardenia gumiflora
Marathi name Dikemal

It looks to me like G. resinifera which is fruiting now.

G. gummmifera is supposed to be flowering from Jan to April. It is a smaller plant, leaves have 12-18 pairs of nerves. G. resinifera has 20 – 25 pairs.
Also the fruit of G. gummifera is said to have longitudinal lines and a stout beak. (Fl of Maharashtra, Almeida)
The local name is same for both the species.

Rubiaceae Week :: Gardenia gummifera – Cambi Gum Tree:
Native to India, Gummy gardenia is a small tree which grows up to 3 meters. Gardenia is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants. They are evergreen shrubs and small trees growing to 1-15 m tall. The leaves are opposite or in whorls of three or four, 5-50 cm long and 3-25 cm broad, dark green and glossy with a leathery texture. The flowers are solitary or in small clusters, white or pale yellow, with a tubular-based corolla with 5-12 lobes (‘petals’) from 5-12 cm diameter.

Very nice pictures and useful information, …
But this could be Gardenia resinifera or some other species; it doesn’t look like G.gummifera.

---

The name board in Lalbagh has this name.

---

I am also of the same opinion as … Some name boards in Lalbagh are not correct / updated.

---

After googling looks like G. resinifera. I will take some more snaps, when it flowers
