Family: Anacardiaceae I think this post has the same query as in another ANJAN04/04 Please identify this tree where … has suggested Nothopegia beddomei. A repeat upload yes. My mistake. Thank you …
ANJAN27/27 Nothopegia sp. for identification (N. racemosa?) : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (8) Family: Anacardiaceae Nothopegia species efi so far. Nothopegia beddomei I think these images are of Nothopegia travancorica as per keys in BSI Flora of india (leaf nerves 25-30 pairs and leaves alternate). Leave nerves are 12-13 pairs in Nothopegia beddomei as per keys. I concur with … Nothopegia beddomei It appears keys in BSI Flora of india are not correct as being contradictory w.r.t. no. of secondary nerves as per book link in Flora of Peninsular India (about 20 for Nothopegia beddomei). As branches and petals appear to be glabrous here. Yes, this genus is taxonomically very messy and we don’t have a good key to the species of this genus. Number of secondary nerves is variable even within a species and not reliable by itself for distinguishing between species.

This should also be Nothopegia beddomei It appears keys in BSI Flora of india are not correct as being contradictory w.r.t. no. of secondary nerves as per book link in Flora of Peninsular India (about 20 for Nothopegia beddomei). Also as branches appear to be glabrous here. Is there a better Key available for Nothopegia other than that of BSI…? The one you mentioned was having some errors it seems..
Pl. try book link in Flora of Peninsular India

ID Request- Tree at Kali Tiger Reserve-PKA : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4) Seen this medium size tree with reddish coloured fruits at kali Tiger Reserve, North Karnataka. Nothopegia sp. [Anacardiaceae]. Thanks a lot … for the lead.. It could be Nothopegia racemosa..
I am confused between Nothopegia beddomei (most of our observations in efi so far) & Nothopegia racemosa
Yes! Nothopegia racemosa ! Two species are quite close. I will go with Nothopegia beddomei as per timing of other observations here as well as timings for two species as per book link in FoPI.
