BACCAUREA RAMIFLORA:
Attaching two images of a plant which was very common in Assam and West Bengal (Now it is not very common as is the case of other plants). The plant is Baccaurea ramiflora.
It is known as LETEKU in Assam. In Bangla it is Lotka or Natku. It is known as Lutco in Hindi.
The flesh around the seed of the fruit is delicious.

Re: OBSERVATION : LARVA ON BACCAUREA RAMIFLORA : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1)

For last two years I am observing a particular larva feeding on the leaves and tender shoots of Baccaurea ramiflora (LOTKA). These larvae have eaten away all the leaves of the tree. But yesterday I saw a moth on the same tree. I am not sure whether the the larva and the moth belong to the same species. Attaching a collage of this observation.
Will be thankful if any clue is given on the subject.

Likely to be Baccaurea ramiflora

Unless more complete photographs are available, you need not arrive at any conclusion.

Could be Baccaurea species (Phyllanthaceae). Most probably B. ramiflora Lour.
