01/12/10/YRP/1: Could someone identify the tree please?
Date & Time 1/12/2010 Location: Place, Altitude, GPS Chethalayam, Wayanad. Habitat: Garden, Urban, Wild Type: Wild Plant Habit: Tree, Shrub, Climber, Herb Tree Height, Length. 12’ – The inflorescence suggests that this could most probably be a species of Mallottus. Since it is from Waynad, I think this could be Mallotus tetracoccus. Please refer the following links – I think this represents Mallotus tetracoccus
FOR ID———-: IT IS TREE IN EVERGREEN FOREST. IT IS FOUND IN SACRED GROOVE. IT IS CAPTURE IN NOVEMBER.
it seems to me as Mallotus tetracoccus I too think this is Mallotus tetracoccus (Euphorbiaceae) Even i feel that it is Mallotus, This is without any doubt Mallotus tetracoccus

Tree around 15m in height seen near Village Mahal in Chikmagalur rigion (Karnataka).

ANSEPT67 Please identify (1) Mallotus sp.? : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (4). Abbey Falls, Madikeri, Coorg Mallotus tetracoccus? The current name is Mallotus ferrugineus.
Requesting id: (mixed thread): 4 correct images as above. please find attached photos of a flowering tree near Jog Falls, Shimoga district, Karnataka … looks like Mallotus philippensis … the inflorescence seems extraordinarily long … my guess may be wrong. This is Mallotus tetracoccus (Roxb.) Kurz of Euphorbiaceae family. Please take a look at this portal.. http://thewesternghats.in/speciespage/species/show/27821 (most of you perhaps know it already) …they have a nice set of pictures… I have two questions: FIRST THE BARK CUT.. i see this often… what is it and why do it? does it harm the tree. do the botanists get prior permission to do this?
SECOND question… what is the brown round stufff on the surface of the leaves that the site calls tomentose… ???? Kindly identify the specimen. Leaves peltate, young shoots rusty-brown and tomentose.. Could it be Mallotus tetracoccus (Euphorbiaceae)….?? Habit: Tree Habitat: Wild, Moist deciduous forest Sighting: Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1000 msl. Date: 03-11-2014 and 13-01-2015 Yes, this is Mallotus tetracoccus based on Rottlera tetracocca Roxb. (1832). It is same as Mallotus ferrugineus, based on Rottlera ferruginea Roxb. (1832). The date of publication is same for both. However, Miquel (1860) was the first to unite the two species and he selected the name Rottlera ferruginea Roxb. for the combined species. Hence we have to honour his decision and call it Mallotus ferrugineus (Roxb.) Mull.Arg. instead of Mallotus tetracoccus (Roxb.) Kurz.
Kindly identify the specimen. Could it be a Mallotus sp…….??? Habit: Medium sized tree Habitat: Wild, Moist deciduous forest fringe. Sighting: Devarunda, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1000 msl Date: 12-12-2014 Yes …, Male inflorescences of Mallotus ferrugineus. The numerous stamens confirms the identity.

Mallotus tetracoccus (Roxb.) Kurz … (family: Euphorbiaceae) Thanks …, The accepted name is Mallotus ferrugineus (Roxb.) Mull.Arg. Local names:
Asm.: Lauri-bandha, Moralia; Beng.: Marleya; Kh.: Dieng-paklia, Dieng-tha-rong; Mal.: Adukanni, Vattakumbil; Naga: Teng-num-ching; Nep.: Jogi-malata, Kasre-malata; Tam.: Mullu-polavu. Thank you very much … for the local names and accepted name. Please guide. I am simply following our own observations, as follows:
Rottlera tetracocca Roxb. (1832) is same as R. ferruginea Roxb. (1832) and Miquel (in 1860) was the first person to unite these two species and he selected the name Rottlera ferrunigea Roxb. [now Mallotus ferrugineus (Roxb.) Mull.Arg.] as the name for the combined species and therefore this is the correct name to be adopted. Thanks …; I am going with our observations; revised my notes at flickr.

Location : Sihhmui, Mizoram Our key as given in Flora of India volume 23 leads on to Mallotus leucocarpus, so far known to occur in Meghalaya and Myanmar. It is represented only by a few collections in Meghalaya. It is a new record for Mizoram. If any herbarium specimen is collected, then a nice paper may be written on this rare species Images look similar to those of Mallotus roxburghianus posted by … from Assam.
May I request you to pl. have a look pl. Not similar with Mallotus roxburghianus To me it seems to be Mallotus roxburghianus. The leaves in Mallotus roxburghianus are clearly peltate at base which is not the case here. This is M. ferrugineus instead.
MALLOTUS ROXBURGHIANUS: Attachments (2). Attaching an image of Mallotus roxburghianus. I find it to be very common at this place. Ref. Trees, Shrubs and Large Climbers found in the Darjeelig District, West Bengal and Sikkim It is not matching with illustration at http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=109910&flora_id=2
It appears close to images at Mallotus tetracoccus This is also not M. roxburghianus, nor M. leucocarpus as I thought earlier. . Looks like the common M. ferrugineus. Thank you … I will amend.

Yes, it is correct!
One particular Mallotus species is quite common at Cooch Behar. I am not sure whether it is Mallotus roxburghianus or Mallotus paniculatus. As the fruits are ripe now I wanted to see what are the bird species visit this tree for the fruits. A surprise was waiting for me. I found that Cantao ocellatus bug (known as JEWEL BUG/ SHIELD-BACKED- BUG) breeds on this plant. I recorded this insect in large congregation on this plant. Literature says in India recorded host plant for this insect are Kigelia pinnata and Macaranga peltata. But in Singapore the host plant is Mallotus paniculatus. Attaching a collage of this observation. Can anybody tell me the identity of this Mallotus species?
It is not possible to name the species with this collage as most characters of the leaves and their arrangement and closer details of fruits are not available.
If … posts individual images, it may be helpful.
If … can send individual images, okay otherwise I will try with the second collage.
I think this is Mallotus ferrugineus. Please compare under eFI site where the species has been shelved off under a synonym, M. tetracoccus posted by …
Seven individual images are attached. May help. Have a good day.

Habit : Small to middle-sized tree. Yes, Mallotus. I have downloaded it. Will find out the id at leisure. Please compare it with Mallotus nepalensis. Is it Mallotus paniculatus var. paniculatus ? I do not know. Please check if it is Mallotus tetracoccus! No, not M. tetracoccus. Perhaps this key based on Fl. of China and Flora of Thailand should help Female inflorescence unbranched, fruit densely softly spiny, 15 mm across ……… M. nepalensis
Female inflorescence branched, fruit 10 mm across ……. 2
Fruit 3-locular, with few (ca 30) 4-5 mm long spines; leaf base cuneate, broadest in portion from lower third to middle, basal glands 2, basal veins 3-5 …… M. paniculata
Fruit 4-locular (commonly), with numerous (ca 100) short less than 3 mm long spines; leaf base rounded or truncate, broadest below lower third, basal glands 2-4, basal veins 3 ….. M. tetracoccus
May be … has better key from his book. Fruiting specimens will reveal the true identity. Till then I call it Mallotus nepalensis var. nepalensis. I think this is Mallotus tetracoccus. Mallotus ferrugineus (syn. M. tetracoccus) has pyramidal-paniculate inflorescences which the present sample is lacking. It is not possible for me to resolve the problem or question unless I see the fruiting material. To me appears close to images and details at Mallotus tetracoccus
Both WCSP & Catalogue of Life give Mallotus ferrugineus as its synonym.
