Glycosmis pilosa V.Naray., Rec. Bot. Surv. India 14(2): 36 1941. ;
Flora of Andaman24-080111-PKA1: Shrub found in Wild near Sea shore at Port Blair, Andaman & Nicobar. Fruits were Greenish, globuse (6 to 8mm). Flowers were very small, creamish white. Isn’t this some Citrus…a lemon or lime sp? Rutaceae or lime family generally have compound leaves very rarely simple!! Is it a species of Salacia ??? Can be Salacia chinensis this plant is found in Andaman Most probably this is Pamburus missionis syn. Atlantia missionis. it looks like Glycosmis species most probably Most probably Glycosmis sp. of Rutaceae family, as … suggested. Most probably Pamburus missionis syn. Atlantia missionis. To rule out A.monophylla the photographs of the foliage clearly depicting the structure and arrangement are needed. The nature of fruits and leaves do not tally with the characters of Glycosmis pentaphylla. Both these plants are available in Gunidy National Park, Chennai.
Please tell me whether the leaves are simple/1-foliolate or tri-foliolate. I assumed this could be Glycosmis because I felt the leaves are 3-foliolate.
In Pamburus/Atlantia the leaves are 1-foliolate (Gamble-page158).
I agree with … id — Glycosmis.
It is not Salacia, nor Citrus, and not Pamburus for sure. This seems to be Glycosmis pilosa
