Can this be E. glandulosus?


May be E tuberculatus.


Thank you sir. Identified to be the same by … as well.
Elaeocarpus tuberculatus Roxb.


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.

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.

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 … for the update….I stand updated.


Thanks, … But we have to find out the exact species of this post. For that, you can try the following:
Elaeocarpus serratus var. serratus (Karnataka, Tamilnadu & Kerala; Sri Lanka)
Elaeocarpus serratus var. weibelii (Karnataka & Kerala)

Unknown Tree:
I found this tree growing quite commonly in Hulikal, Karnataka, there were plenty of these trees in the forest and all of them had new leaves growing.
id help appreciated.


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?


I too have a feeling that it is an Elaeocarpus species. Family Elaeocarpaceae.


The tree looks like Elaeocarpus tuberculatus, found in marshy places
