Polyalthia cerasoides (?) from Hooghly:

The book “Plant Groups” (by H. Mukherji) mentions one Annonaceae member as Polyalthia cerasoides Benth. & Hook.
I searched the net to obtain more info –
  1. Polyalthia cerasoides (Roxb.) Benth. & Hook. f. ex Bedd. and its synonyms – http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-1600007
  2. Polyalthia cerasoides (Roxb.) Bedd. + synonyms + distribution –
  3. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?29196
  4. description of Polyalthia cerasoides
  5. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=600&taxon_id=200008574
  6. pictures of Polyalthia cerasoides (Roxb.) Bedd. – http://www.biotik.org/laos/polce_en.html
  7. more pics of the above – http://showyourplant.com/Polyalthia_cerasoides/

Confusion may arise from –

  • …… As per recent books on web and Flora of Mah., the bark of Milliusa tomentosa is described as blackish brown which seems to match with what I saw more than that of of polyalthia cerasoides (light grey bark) and Milliusa velutina (dark grey bark). ….efi thread
  • acuminate leaf apex as in – efi thread 2 and – efi thread 3
But, according to Flora of China = “…. base broadly cuneate to rounded, apex obtuse….” = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=600&taxon_id=200008574
Probability of Miliusa tomentosa can be ignored, because –
  1. http://www.ephotocorp.com/ripe,-fruit,-fruits,-miliusa-t.html
  2. efi thread 2
  3. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/5657016936/
  4. efi thread 4
  5. efi thread 5

Probability of Miliusa velutina can also be ignored –

Species : Polyalthia cerasoides Benth. & Hook.
Habit & Habitat : roadside tree or shrub, 6 feet high, probably trimmed by someone or something
Date : 12/7/12, 9.41 a.m.
Place : Hooghly

Very well researched, …
But, I think, the posted pictures are not of Polyalthia cerasoides.
Please check for P. suberosa. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200008588


It turns out that very well played but returned scoring a duck 😀
Thank you for the correct ID, it explains the problem i faced with the bark colour. Description of flower also matches.
Found in the group – efi thread. But, this post at – efi thread 2 may need a revisit.

I agree with … comments. See the monocarps description.


Thank you for confirming the ID. I do agree fully with … or your view on this plant, it is Polyalthia suberosa.
