Kalatope id al140411a:
A shrub growing by the roadside..

Location Kalatope, Chamba
Altitude 2100 mts
Habit shrub
Habitat wild
Height 2 mts

I think we saw similar shrub without flowers in Morni hills


Does the size of the fruit help in any way sir…??


Interesting plant with five fused carpels, fimbriate stigmas, free five (?) petals and sepals. fruit appears to be fleshy. Any guesses about the family for further progress?


it is Coriaria nepalensis Wall.  Family Coriariaceae


That seems to be the right answer!
Infact, this shrub is called Masuri Berry, and according to one view, Mussoorie town got its name from the abundance of this shrub.


Frankly never knew this plant. Have visited Mussoorie number of times but then I neither had a Digital camera, nor was the member of indiantreepix.


Coriaria nepalensis from me too! Have collected this from Arunachal Pradesh also.

This is Coriaria nepalensis ….!!!


Very nice clicks of various flowers. Thanks for bringing a treat of life like images of various flowers to us, along with detailed info.
I wonder how I could not meet you when I was in Himachal for so long (I belong to HP Cadre). It would have been really educative experience to explore wilderness with you.. May some time in future!! Kindly drop in for a chat whenever you are at Dehradun.
PS: This invitation is to other members of the groups also.
The plant in this mail is Coriaria nepalensis.

Thank you … It would have been a pleasure meeting you in Dharamshala. Had I known you before it would have helped me tremendously in learning my local flora faster. I look forward to meeting you one day. If you ever come this side for work or leisure, please let me know.


Beautiful photographs of Coriaria nepalensis (Masuri Berry), ….
