   I have seen your earlier post also through the link given by you. Thanks. Please let me know from where you have taken the photographs. Then I can arrive at a conclusion. The characters of the leaves do not agree with Bridelia retusa. I photographed it in Konnagarh-Nabagram area, a rather rural area adjacent to Delhi road, I was on my way to attend a birthday party. It was almost evening and photographed using flash.
I have noted that number of nerves doesn’t agree, but thought leaves could be young in the collected specimen. My guess, Bridelia stipularis (L.) Blume? I’m attaching one higher resolution of leaf photograph.
Thank you very much for taking care. And please call me by my name, I am your student here. Thank you very much …
Since you have asked about Bridelia stipularis, let me clarify one point here. B. stipularis is predominantly a markedly pubescent climber (a few collectors noted it to be a small tree) with large female calyx and larger fruits on the average. There was a doubt raised recently on another post having fruiting materials of B. retusa but with large female calyx. Now, the present photographs are of dried specimens while your earlier post contained photos of fresh material. They will obviously differ in measurements. Whatever measurements we see in literature are based on dried materials, in case of flowers, soaked in water and therefore these measurements are bound to be less that what we actually see and measure in field. Your photographs do not show any climbing habit and villous parts and so we can rule out B. stipularis. If you do not mind, I would rather like to assign the name Bridelia verrucosa Haines which seems to be more probable.
Distribution is as follows:
India: Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh; Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan. Thank you very much Sir, my guess was simply wild (as you noted, some wrote the taxon as small tree). I wish I could see it one more time. If it still survives I would try to get flowers as well, should be around Nov.-Dec.
Found this small tree in a private property beside a road.
Species : UNKNOWN
H & H : about 15 to 20ft, leaves alternate, sepals possibly ten
Date : 7/1/13
Place : Hooghly This is a species of Bridelia possibly B.spinosa. My photographs for comparison are available at this link
Thank you very much …, lovely pictures of birds too. And, would you believe that while i was returning today i was thinking this tree is going to be identified by …, i am telling pure truth! Bridelia verrucosa Haines as per another thread. Bridellia verrucosa Haines, family Phyllanthaceae.
EUPHORBIACEAE FORTNIGHT: Briedelia verrucosa from Uttarakhand_DSR_06 : Attachments (1). 2 posts by 2 authors.
Bridelia verrucosa Haines is a less common small tree in lower and mid hills of Uttarakhand.
It is much lopped for fodder. I remember a small tree just at the gate of my home which never produced flowers due to regular lopping of new branches (yes, by me !) in my school days.
My mother used to call it “GHAULA” in Garhwali dialect. The genus is indeed Bridelia but in absence of flowers or fruits I am unable to confirm the identity of the species. However, B. verrucosa is known to occur in Uttarakhand.
presenting few images of a large shrub which looks like some Bridelia sp.
found growing on a small hilltop locality- Dehradun (en route Santla mata mandir ~1000m asl) Date-13-02-2018 Most probably Bridelia ferruginea, an important medicinal plant.
We need further details for evaluating whether this is distinct from Bridelia montana.
A correction: This is Bridelia verrucosa Haines.
shape of leaves is exactly like B.verrucosa but fruits are matching with B.ferruginea In that case, I admit that I have no knowledge of the occurrence of that African species in India in wild conditions.
I agree with … as per images and references at Bridelia verrucose
Please suggest the species name.
Bridelia sp?
Location- Rajgir hills (Bihar)
Tree
Date- 9 March 2019
This is similar to Bridelia verrucosa, fairly common on the hilly tracts of Bihar and Jharkhand.
Date: February, 2011
Habit: Climber One of my friend forward your mail for the identification of a climber from Bihar. See the attachment. The photograph looks like Briedelia stipularis (L.) Blume. Kindly ignore this mail if you already substantiate the correct identity of this species Illustration provided in Fl. Malaysia and Fl. China matches well with Bridelia stipularis. I think this is more closer to images at Bridelia verrucosa Haines rather than those at Bridelia stipularis (L.) Blume
Unknown tree from Kamrup district, Assam: 5 images. Attached images are unknown tree sp.. Please ID for it.
Date : 21.12.2012 Location: Kamrup district Family : Unknown Genus & species : Unknown Habitat: Grows wild on. hilly slopes Habit : Small tree Flower : Not seen Fruits : Seen This could be a species of Bridelia possibly B.spinosa. Wonder if this is the same Bridelia posted by me long time back.
Bridelia from Bihar You’re right Thanks, …, for id as Bridelia stipularis = Bridelia stipularis. I think this is more closer to images at Bridelia verrucosa Haines rather than those at Bridelia stipularis (L.) Blume Typical Bridelia verrucosa.
