Revision of Elaeocarpus (Elaeocarpaceae) Section in South India & Sri Lanka – Jstor : Sue Zmarzty Kew Bulletin Vol. 56, No. 2 (2001), pp. 405-447.
Abstract: Elaeocarpus section Elaeocarpus in southern India and Sri Lanka is revised. Nine species are recognised, including three new species (E. hedyosmus Zmarzty, E. variabilis Zmarzty and E. taprobanicus Zmarzty) and one new variety (E. serratus L. var. weibelii Zmarzty). Elaeocarpus hedyosmus Zmarzty sp. nov. is the well-known E. amoenus sensu auctt. redescribed. The original syntypes of E. amoenus Thwaites included three different species, and Meijer’s (1995) lectotypification means that this name must be restricted to a distinct, less well-known species. Elaeocarpus variabilis Zmarzty is the well-known E. glandulosus sensu auctt. (syn. E. oblongus sensu auctt.) redescribed. The name E. glandulosus Wall. ex Merr. must be applied to a northern species, probably E. hygrophilus Kurz, after Merrill’s (1951) validation of the name E. glandulosus Wall. Elaeocarpus subvillosus Arn. is lectotypified. It is common for collections from the Wallich Herbarium to be erroneously cited in descriptions of southern Indian Elaeocarpus. The author’s determinations of this material are included as Appendix 1. Appendix 2 lists other exsiccatae. An index to accepted names and synonymy is given as Appendix 3.

TSP-JAN2016-19-19: Images of Elaeocarpus tuberculatus (Elaeocarpaceae) : 3 posts by 2 authors.
It is my pleasure to share few images of Elaeocarpus tuberculatus (Elaeocarpaceae) Ref: flowersofindia Ref: http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=1613&cat=1 Habit: Tree Habitat: Wild, Evergreen forest Sighting: Kottigehara, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1200 msl Date: 28-11-2015 Rudraksha? does it get those wonderfully iridescent blue shelled fruits? Yes … My understanding is that all Elaeocarpus are known as Rudraksha. Right know the fruits are still green. Will wait to know if there is any colour change, provided the langurs and squirrels, that are abundant, leave some for me to examine..! Thanks, …, But as per Revision of Elaeocarpus (Elaeocarpaceae) Section in South India & Sri Lanka – Jstor : Sue Zmarzty Kew Bulletin Vol. 56, No. 2 (2001), pp. 405-447, there is no such species found in South India.

To me also appears more closer to images at Elaeocarpus tuberculatus as per
   Unknown Tree: Please send the close up of the leaves and fruits. Sir the tree was not fruiting at the time..and could not get leaf closeups as the tree had its branches very high..it is easily one of the giants of the forest with large buttressed trunks. Thanks … By the by where is Hulikal. Since I am in Mysore, Karnataka now, I want to know so that if / when I visit that place I can look out for the tree. There is a chance for Elaeocarpus sp?
