Small shrub for ID : 140714 : RV 2 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (4).
Please help to identify this Grawia…. picture taken today (14.7.14) in SGNP, Mumbai….
very small, about 3 feet tall shrub.

This is Phalsa [Grewia asiatica].

I think this could be Grewia abutilifolia. G. asiatica has yellow coloured flowers.

My photographs of Phalsa are available at these links : Google Groups Google Groups

Agree with … Grewia abutilifolia Vent. ex Juss, a common shrub of open patches in moist deciduos forests.…: These are in abundance along the Shilonda trail too.

Grewiaspecies in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net)

In the first pic one leaf at the top-middle is broader than the rest, in 2nd pic buds look short and ovoid, petal much shorter than sepal.
Please check probability of Grewia abutifolia Juss. (G. aspera Roxb.). But, I am not sure, you have many species over there. Attached here KEY (of white flowers) in ‘Botany of Bihar and Orissa’.

Grewia abutilifolia possibly!!

… a wild wild guess … some Mallotus ?

Thanks, … You may be right.

Fruits are matching with: Mallotus tetracoccus

Leaves & habit looks a bit different from images at Mallotus tetracoccus (Roxb.) Kurz

Yes. You are correct. May be a new species to efi.

It is Grewia species. leaf 3-nerved, drupe 2-4 lobed.

Very like Grewia abutilifolia. One of the variable Grewia species.

Grewia flavescens:
Flower of Grewia flavescens
Local Marathi name: Pitkuri
At Kanakeshwar, Alibag

Does not matches with images at Grewia flavescens Juss.

I think appears close to images at Grewia abutilifolia Vent. ex Juss.

Yes, it is Grewia abutilifolia !

Grewia asiatica flowering : 4 images. 3 posts by 2 authors.
Couldn’t find any of my photographs of Grewia asiatica [Phalsa] flowers in the archives of this group. Hence am sending them now. They were taken on my property at Shahapur. The shrubs are all wild.

Thanks a lot … for sharing these photos. If possible could you please tell the size of the leaves in these pix. Thanks again.

At a guesstimate, would say they are anywhere from 10 to 13 cms long.

These images may be of Grewia tiliifolia Vahl as Peduncles much longer than petioles in Grewia asiatica as per keys in BSI Flora of India

For me, it more look likes G. abutilifolia!

Grewia for identification :: Dec MK01 : 15 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (6)

Please help me identifying this Grewia species.

Habit: short tree / shrub up to 4m tall

Habitat: agri.fences / fallow land bushes

Location: Dharwad District, Karnataka

Alt.: 650 m asl

Date: 16 Nov 2017

Pl. check /species/m—z/m/malvaceae/grewia/grewia-abutilifolia-1
However, fruits look different at the given link.

Looks like Grewia asiatica;

Peduncle is too short compared to pedicel, for it to be Grewia asiatica.

fruit pilose & leaf characters are considere for G.tilifolia the fruit is glabrous. really Grewia is a very difficult species

Not Grewia tiliifolia Vahl as per images herein.
Pl. check with images at Grewia villosa Willd.

the leaf and flower do not match with Grewia villosa; it is not Grewia tilifolia also

Its Grewia abutilifolia

Thanks, ….

Can you check fruits image at /species/m—z/m/malvaceae/grewia/grewia-abutilifolia-1 ?
Are they of the same species ?

Yes, they are.

Thank you all for the help in ID. I am attaching more pics of the same plant from same location.
Fruits: not sweeter but edible; maturing black
