Triplaris weigeltiana (Introduced)

This can be a Shorea species, may be S. roxburghii?

Is there any chance of Engelhardita spicata ??

you might be right…Engelhardita spicata
at this url it says its found in se asia including India …
http://www.biotik.org/laos/engsp_en.html
of the pics submitted 22, and 14 match their pics…
not seen in surroundings or Kolkata…
not listed in trees of kolkata book from 1946 either…
neither is it in various other popular books (as in those for lay people) by Bombay NH Soc… and some other books
Calling …: do you have this listed in your books on flora of Maharashtra?

Please mark the pinnate leaf, axillary inflorescence and unequal fruiting wings in the illustrated provided in your link. Photographs uploaded here shows none of of these features. Therefore, I’ll not go with Engelhardtia (Engelhardia in Fl. China).
Posting my photos of E. spicata in a separate thread.

i am not at all agreed with Engelhardtia spicata bcoz that plant seems to a member of dipterocarpaceae family instead of juglandeaceae.
kindly have a close watch…

I feel its Triplaris surinamensis – Popularly known as Helicoptor tree in South America. I have seen few in Guyana. Family – Polygonaceae.

I apologise on my wild guess….Actually I find similarities of the flowers only from the first pics. … is right.. It might be some other sps.
… It is found as wild in North bengal too, popularly known as “Mawa” or “Mewa”(in Nepali)
I am attaching my photographs on this sps in separate threads

yes it is Triplaris sp.

Nice pictures … I think you are correct about the id. The accepted name however is Triplaris weigeltiana as per TPL

The tree is located alongside the Rose garden on the way to Glass house ( West end gate to Glass house).

I have seen this tree in Guyana (South America).This is also known as Helicopter Tree due to winged Fruits. Botanically known as Triplaris weigeltiana.

Dipterocarpus indicus Bedd. ??

Is ID correct …?

Thanks …  The ID is not yet finalised .
This is what … remarked:
“yes it is a Dipterocarpaceae member
Since the wings of the fruit are 3 it is Shorea species, but leaf  is variable, close to S.roxburghii but not completely match with my collection”

It is planted in Theosophical Society campus, Chennai. Photographs received from one of my friends for I D.
I have requested for  the habit photo. But not yet received.
