Manipur identifications 3:
Is this a Brassaiopsis sp.? Fairly common in the general Ukhrul area.

Yes! Brassaiopsis from me too. Our group member …, an expert of Araliaceae, can confirm the species.

Yes an Araliaceae member. We saw a huge tree of this in Laos, which is yet to be identified !!

I’m glad you agree. I didn’t think it could be anything else, but one mustn’t get too over confident when abroad! I very much look forward to … looking in. It would be great to get his opinion on the other Scheffleras we saw.
…, we found various similar species in N. Vietnam.

Brassaiopsis hainla (Buch.-Ham.) Seem.

Looks like Brassaiopsis polycantha

Brassaiopsis polyacantha is synonym of Brassaiopsis hainla

Macaranga indica Wight (accepted name)???
Nepali Names : मालाटा Maalaataa / मदेलो Madelo / मल्लेटो Malleto

This is not Macaranga. Try some other family!

Any clue?

There are leaves from two plants in the images.

Thank you … for pointing out.
The leaves in the background in the first image are of Macaranga but it is not possible to tell the name of the species without flowers and fruits..

Brassaiopsis hainla (Buch.-Ham.) Seem. ????

Same tree on 20 May 2017.

This certainly seems to be from Araliaceae…

Looks different from images at Brassaiopsis hainla

Araliaceae family

Is this a woody climber?
Size of fruit?

Sorry, no Idea about it !

I hope my third attempt on of the same plant will help to establish ID as Brassaiopsis hainla !

Yes to me also appear close to images and illustrations at

Fruits and Vegetables Week_RKC_2:
Tender inflorescence are eaten by Adi tribes as vegetable.
Name: Brassaiopsis glomerulata
Family: Araliaceae
Loc.: Tuting, Upper Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh (ca 700m)
Local name: Memba people call it ‘Sekhalu‘.
Date: Nov. 2005

This is not Brassaiopsis glomerulata (Blume) Regel as pointed out by … and as per FOC illustration.
Pl. check with Brassaiopsis fatsioides as per FOC illustration, though I am doubtful.

Maybe Brassaiopsis polyacantha (Wall.) R.N.Banerjee as per GBIF specimens.

Pl. check.

Brassaiopsis polyacantha (Wall.) R. N. Banerjee is a syn. of Brassaiopsis hainla (Buch.-Ham.) Seem.

Appears close as per GBIF.

Araliaceae : 8 posts by 2 authors. 5 images.

An Araliaceae from a collection in Arunachal Pradesh has been distributed in different collections in Europe. Nobody knows its identity, although it is thought of a Brassaiopsis, although the trunk has no spines.

I attach different photographs to see if they could help to identify this species.

Maybe Brassaiopsis polyacantha (Wall.) R.N.Banerjee as per GBIF specimens.
Pl. check.

That is Brassaiopsis hainla (Buch.-Ham.) Seem. !

We are talking of the same species as Brassaiopsis polyacantha (Wall.) R. N. Banerjee is a syn. of Brassaiopsis hainla (Buch.-Ham.) Seem.

Yes, appears close.
… may decide.

I agree with you.
