Agumbe, Karnataka

A large tree about 30m tall with flowers at the ends of branches all over the tree. Flowers are very fragrant.


A very good find from Clusiaceae.


Lovely pics … you are digging deeply and bringing up unseen beauty for many including me..


It was a nice and funny moment to across this tree for us. It was located just behind a fenced off area (the fence marks the boundary of the forest) adjoining the road and right near the tree were two huge bulls that seemed to be a little agitated. I had to run ahead, climb over the fence, get a small branch of the tree, come back to the same place where I had climbed over the fence at which point one of the bulls seemed displeased by all of this and decided to come after us! We all but ran for about half a km before stopping to click photos! After all of this had happened, hardly had we walked another half a km ahead when we found the same species again (although this time there were no angry bulls)!
