My name is … and I am working with Madras Crocodile Bank Chennai, This is my first post on this group.
Can any identify what species of Ochna this is. Is it Ochna obtusa. If more pictures of specific part of the tree is needed, I get that. 

Ochna serrulata


Thank you … I guess I need to wait and watch if the sepals turn red, right? Is this an ornamental plant that people plant in India?

further classification lets wait for a taxonomist

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


Beautiful plant. Check for Ochna obtusata (Ochnaceae)


It is Ochna integerrima leaves with close serration.


Is it a cultivated plant as Biotik does not give any range in peninsular India ?


Yes it is a cultivated plant. The photos were taken at Aranya Bhavan, Mysore.

Ochna wightiana in FOI : 3 posts by 1 author.

Ochna wightiana in FOI is either Ochna kirkii (Introduced) or Ochna obtusata (most likely although images of leaves are not clear) as per images and details herein.
Ochna wightiana is a synonym for Ochna lanceolata Spreng.

Ochna integerrima (Lour.) Merr. ??

Should we go with Ochna integerrima? It seems you have compared morphological characters and matching.
i was trying to get morphological information of Ochna integerrima, but could not get. Is there some link or book which has original morphological description from the owner taxanomists who named this species?
