Thanks, … Pl. check comparative images at efi site.
I could not find a match as per comparative images at efi site at Garcinia It should be Garcinia morella.
It’s a variety of Garcinia lancaefolia
As per identification of National Herbarium, Howrah, it is Garcinia succifolia Kurz. (=G. loniceroides, Ţ.Anders.). Family: Clusiaceae
Re: Garcinia : 7 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (7) Location Laluk Karunabari North Lakhimpur Assam Please identify Does it not appear close to images at Garcinia loniceroides T. Anders. ? Could it be Garcinia assamica ? To me it looks different. Its seems to be Garcinia morella
Thanks, … But looks different from images at Garcinia morella (Gaertn.) Desr. & Biotik
Looks different as per To me appears close to images at Garcinia loniceroides T. Anders.
Needs to be close observation, but seems like Garcinia assamica. Appears to be Garcinia morella only.
But need to be confirmed as similar species are occurring in Manipur, Nagaland.
Blaze exuding latex, bark of the tree is important for id.
I am unable to decide the final id. Kindly confirm. I find it looking different from images of G.morella as per This is surely not G. cambogioides syn. (G. morella). Pl. Check G. acuminata also. I checked but it does not seem to match with any. A similar plant was identified by National Herbarium, Howrah, as Garcinia succifolia Kurz. (=G. loniceroides, Ţ.Anders.). as per details at Garcinia species in Mizoram
Kindly see and confirm or otherwise.
From my experience, it could be even something new. During our study we found four new species for India, two from Western Ghats and two from Assam. Thorough study is needed with flowers both male and female, the nature of staminodes etc. Pl follow up.
Follow up study is required. Fruits and leaves similar with G.morella. There are few varities under G. morella. Both male & female flower including bark, latex may give additional clue. Take care of … note.
