ID of tree called Karap:

date: 6.11.11

Location: Vihigaon Near Kasara Dist Thane Maharashtra

Locally called Karap

It is a tree almost 30-40 feet tall

bark: dark cracked

Leaves at the ends of the branches

Leaves simple opposite 5-10 cm by 3-4 cm

Ovate petioles only 0.5 cm

younger leaves seen reddish and later light green.

fruits are small and black when ripe edible and consumed by humans

… based on common name karap OR karpa, there is at least one species, which you may check for: Lepisanthes tetraphylla

I have referred to the name Lepisanthes tetraphylla before. but it has
2 Major differences
1. the leaves of Lepisanthes tetraphylla are compound
2. the leaves of Lepisanthes tetraphylla are alternately arranged.

I have posted the photographs of karap here

Possibly Lagerstroemia microcarpa, Nana in marathi. A capsule picture can confirm the ID.

I checked out for Nana but the plant has white bark while the one i saw had a dark almost black bark.
leaves of Nana are lance shaped with a slight acuminate apex while the tree i saw had ovate leaves.
I do not think it would be L. microcarpa

It may be Ixora arborea. But more details of the plant are needed to confirm the id.

I am uploading photographs of the trees as i have managed to capture.

I am willing to improve my skills to enable better identification.

I happened to talk to a few people working in the same area who told me that the local people call Memecylon umbellatum as karap. Now I think I need to observe its flowers to confirm.

Here is another thread giving pictures:

Tree of Mt Slamet: Could you help me ID our tree please. A tree, ca 8 m tall, 10 – 20 cm diameter. Mt Slamet ca 2200 m alt.

After seeing the roadside tree posted by …, on 26 Nov 11, I think our tree is Quercus sundaica, Q. induta, or Q. lincata? Thank you.

Not Quercus please, nor was … tree so. It was Alnus NEPALENSIS

Your tree has distinct moniliform pods/fruits

Do you have distribution of Colebrookea oppositifolia Sm. Dr. Widodo ?

I don’t know whether we have or not, because I have never seen Colebrookea. Based on the references it is distributed in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Assam, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand and Yunnan, not in Indonesia.

Elsholtzia is also possible as similar inflorescence seen in Elsholtzia fruticosa

It has got no distribution in Indonesia !
