As per efi thread :
Z. oenoplea: the twig and the lower surface of leaves are tomentose with golden silky hairs. upper surface is shining glossy. fruit are ripeing black, about 0.6-0.8 cm across; rind soft. styles 2.
Ziziphus caracatta Buch-Ham. ex Roxb.: leaves glabrous above, glabrescent beneath, trinerved;deep green, ripening black, rugose, 1.5 cm in diameter, rind hard, stony. styles 3-fid.
.
As per efi thread:
Z.caracatta is an unarmed small shrub/ small tree. with glabrous leaves and fruit.
Z.xylopyra is a small tree [which may or may not be armed with prickles] and has tomentose undersurface of leaves and fruit.
.
Fr. Santapau has described this species (Ziziphus caracatta) as being “similar to Z. xylopyra, but differing principally in the leaves being completely glabrous or at most only the primary nerves being somewhat slightly pubescent. Small tree, erect, up to 4 m. high, mostly very sparsely armed, not rarely either completely unarmed or on the contrary armed with many thorns.”
His description of the venation and the leaf base matches with that of … photographs: “the nerves not converging towards the apex of the leaf, but remaining parallel from the middle of the leaf up to the apex of the same … base acute or rounded and very unequal“. Conversely, the leaf base of Z. xylopyrus is “often nearly cordate”.

Is this Ziziphus rugosa – from Pune:
plz id / confirm id .
Looks lik Ziziphus rugosa.
Habit- Shrub
Habitat- Wild
Height- Appx12- 15 feet
Stem- Woody , new branches were green.
Leaves- Simple,alternate,stalked, Ovate with wavy margins.
Flowers- Tiny yellowish-off white in colour.
Fruits- Small globose, reddish brown in colour.


This looks like Ziziphus caracutta [Z. xylopyra] to me. The local name is Ghat-bor. Please check the archives of this group for my photographs of this.


Seeing the fruits in DSC_0805.JPG I could say this is not Ziziphus xylopyrus.
…, what is the size of leaf and fruit? The leaves of Z. xylopyrus are bigger than those in this genus.


Photograph DSC_0805.JPG is the odd-man out. Please also check the fruit seen in photographs 3 & 7. Have both these plants on my property at Shahapur. My photographs of Z. rugosa are available in the archives of this group. [To view them, please type ‘Zizyphus rugosa Neil Soares’ in the search box above]. Am sending photogrphs of Ziziphus caracutta for comparison in a separate mail.


…, I saw yr thread f Ziziphus caracutta n yes the leaves n flowers do match. But as in yr pic.. fruits were white..I observed all blackish fruits.
…, Leave’s size was- appx 10 cm
fruits’s size- 2cm in diameter ( it was like बेर, just purplish or blackish in colour).
So Ziziphus xylopyrus is synonym of Ziziphus caracutta ??


Affirmative. Your tree is Ziziphus caracutta [syn. Z. xylopyrus].


Ziziphus caracutta/ Z.xylopyrus
… It is one of the most common tree on Vetal Tekdi. The fruits are grey white hard and larger (1.5cm) than the other variety found there. (Zizuphus oenoplia)

Ziziphus caracutta finally.

Ziziphus caracutta for id confirmation. 30.05.14_AK_02 : Attachments (7). 3 posts by 3 authors.
This tree found in Pune district region, May 2014
Local people called it as “Ghatbor“/”Ghuti
Prickles are not seen, found only one fruit !!
is it Ziziphus caracutta or Z. xylopyrus ??
now one more query,
Actually what is the difference between Z. caracutta & Z. xylopyrus ?? 

This also could be Z xylopyra because the fruit appear slightly tomentose.
Mr. Ingalhalikar in his book ‘ Flowers of the Sayadaris’, Vol.2 has indicated that Z.xylopyra is a synonym of Z.caracutta [Dr.Almeida calls it Z.caracatta].
Cooke’s ‘Flora of Bombay Presidency’ makes no mention of Z.caracatta.
Dr. Almeida in his ‘Flora of Maharashtra’, Vol 1 and Yadav & Sardesai in their ‘Flora of Kholapur District’ have separated the two.
Z.caracatta is an unarmed small shrub / small tree. with glabrous leaves and fruit.
Z.xylopyra is a small tree [which may or may not be armed with prickles] and has tomentose undersurface of leaves and fruit.
Just spoke to Dr.Almeida.
His take :
– the 2 are distinct species.
Z.caracatta has no spines.
Z.caracutta was first described by Roxburgh from the Coromandel coast as a small unarmed tree.
– Fr. Santapau changed its name to Z. glabberima.
– Dr.Almeida in his book ‘Flora of Maharashtra’ has reverted back to its original name Z.caracatta.

All this is very interesting. I just referred to Fr. Santapau’s notes on Zizyphus (attached herewith) and I feel it resembles Z. caracutta [syn. Z. glaberrima (Sedgw.) Sant.]
Fr. Santapau has described this species as being “similar to Z. xylopyra, but differing principally in the leaves being completely glabrous or at most only the primary nerves being somewhat slightly pubescent. Small tree, erect, up to 4 m. high, mostly very sparsely armed, not rarely either completely unarmed or on the contrary armed with many thorns.”
His description of the venation and the leaf base matches with that of … photographs: “the nerves not converging towards the apex of the leaf, but remaining parallel from the middle of the leaf up to the apex of the same … base acute or rounded and very unequal“. Conversely, the leaf base of Z. xylopyrus is “often nearly cordate”.
His notes are from the early 1950s and his remarks on the distribution of these two species (in the last paragraph of the attached file) are also very interesting.
The attached scan is from the paper “Critical Notes on the Identity and Nomenclature of some Bombay Plants: II. The Genus Zizyphus Mill.” by H. Santapau. [JBNHS, vol. 51, p. 803 – 804, 1953].



/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/floraindicaord01roxb_0630.jpg
Ziziphus caracutta is known to be described from Coromandel coast; thus most chances are that the epithet caracutta is derived from local name. Any light on this ?
கொட்டையிலந்தை kottai-y-ilantai is one name for Z. xylopyra – closely associated to Z. caracutta.

Roxburgh, in his original description of Z. caracutta (Flora Indica, v. 1, p. 612, 1832), has mentioned “…A native of the southern parts of Mysore, and there known to the natives by the name Karakutta…”. See attached.
The language is not mentioned but it could be a Malayalam or Tulu name.
[The name karakutta is used in Tulu for a disease of cattle, called Epizootic aphthae (Ref.: Tulu-English Dictionary by Rev. A. Manner, 1886)].

Wonderful retrieval of information, … This is so wonderful.
Found entries of karagunta, karakutta and karakunta in Rev. A. Männer’s Tulu-English Dictionary – all three mean – disease of cattle, called Epizootic aphthae. Will try to find how any these words connect to the plant or its fruit.

Notes from Botanical Survey of IndiaZiziphus caracutta Roxb. was described in 1824. Later authors reduced it as a synonym of Z. xylopyrus var. glaberrima. Santapau (1953) raised it to the status of a species Z. glaberrima. A critical study of the above two taxa reveals that they are conspecific and therefore, they are treated here under a single taxon Z. caracutta, being the earliest valid name.

Nice Photograph … As usual outstanding.
It’s called घोट्या in marathi in our region. A medium sized tree and mostly used as a Goat fodder plant.
but as per IPNI and The Plant list, Ziziphus xylopyrus (Retz.) Willd. is the accepted name.
Experts comments, please! ☺🙏

Thanks … for the appreciation and the local name – will add it in names database.
The name Ziziphus caracutta Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb. is hardly popular; it is a unresolved name at The Plants List; put as a synonym of Ziziphus xylopyrus (Retz.) Willd. at some sites, including India Biodiversity Portal, while at Botanical Survey of India, it has a very far relation to Z. xylopyrus. But the small note at the end of page is interesting, worth heeding.
I hope those studying the Ziziphus genus in India, throw more light by sorting their species.

Thanks, …  Pl. Also efi site page in this regard.


Yes …, there is some useful discussion in … post.


Thanks for this post! I was searching for Id of this Ziziphus for too long !! I think this Ziziphus  is present on Tilak Bridge Dadar on either sides of bridge while descending from Plaza theater to Khodadad circle. One more similar tree I saw earlier in Malad West. Very soon I ll share few images in same thread…
