Mimusops elengi ?

Huge and beautiful Bakul tree (Mimusops elengi) – Near Anshi: I was amazed find this huge Bakul tree near Anshi.

If Bakul than yes its amazing, but picture here is not clear,  pls also
upload closeup photos of leaves…

Date/Time – May 2011 12.00 pm
Location – Anshi National Park
Habitat- Wild
Plant Habit- Tree
Height – 20-25 meters
Leaves – Simple, alternate, elliptic, glabrous and deep glossy green in colour
I’m attaching a picture of the leaves, but I don’t have macro shots of the leaves.

Although the pictures are nice, no characters are clear to reach a conclusion the only hint from the pictures is the bark. But, if you can get one or two leaves or a branch as a closeup shot, things would be much easy. I can imagine the height from the picture, but as I have mentioned in a previous mail please try collect pictures
from the ground and match it with the same on the tree with the aid of a binocular or a zoomed picture and take a closeup shot.

Without close-ups, its matched with stem bark, Canopy, Leaves undulations,

It is Mimusops elengi

.

Tree for ID:

is this Mimusops elengi (bakul) family Sapotaceae

Do you have a close up of leaf? Was there milky latex when cutting the bark?

I have a feeling that this could be Mimusops elengi of Sapotaceae family.

Not Bakul. May be Jamun

The right image looks like Mimusops elengi, but I am not sure.

Thanks, …  I agree with you.

Thanks Both. I’ll try to get some close up shots.

Any help on the above identification?

We gave our views already.

May be.
