ID confirmation MS310311 -22 – ID requested:
I am attaching the photographs of a  shrub ( ?)  for confirmation of ID. The photo was taken on 27.12.2010 in Sakrebayalu, near Shimoga,  Karnataka.  I have only one photograph. Could this be a member of Annonaceae.


G. serrulata .. – but it’s described as a small tree and not a shrub. However, definitions apart, in the field it does / can look like a large shrub.

Grewia serrulata – Mulshi Pune29/10/2011:
Grewia serrulata
Mulshi Pune 29/10/2011
Malvaceae (Previously Tiliaceae) Kaori
This Grewia is flowering profusely in
Mulshi area.
Interesting fact noted is : Flowers were partially open in the morning session whereas in the afternoon onwards I could find the clear open flowers as depicted in the pictures. Few weeks back I had noticed similar open flowers in the morning so couldn’t conclude the ID.


… the flower in the fourth picture with closed sepals is the faded flower. Flowers open in the evening like most white flowers and fade by morning.


i would like to know more about the Family Tiliaceae and Malaceae. You mention that Grewia belongs to Malvaceae previously Tiliaceae. Till date we are putting Grewia genus in Tiliaceae family. Can you provide us detail information about this merging.

Once again help needed for Id of this tree…..about 15 ft tall growing near the water stream near Khopoli/Pali area near Mumbai….picture taken last week…..seems to me some specie of Grewia.


This is Muntingia calabura of Muntingiaceae family


I am sorry I made a mistake. This is not Muntingia calabura,
It is a species of Grewia of Tiliaceae family.


…, this should be Grewia serrulata. Flowers are in withered condition.

Thanks in advance for any ID clue.


… most probably Grewia serrulata.


this can be Grewia disperma from tiliaceae
Grewia disperma Rotler in Spreng., Syst. ed. 16, 2: 579, 1825; Almeida, Fl. Mah. 1: 155, 1996.


I assume G. disperma and G. serrulata are synonyms OR are they treated different.

Grewia serrulata DC. is a synonym of Grewia multiflora Juss.
Grewia disperma Rottler is a synonym of Grewia multiflora Juss.
Also finds mention at: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242422699

Flora of Nepal only mentions: Grewia disperma


Grewia serrulata

Grewia serrulata—-for validation : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3)
Your help in validation please. I had mistakenly identified as Trema orientalis because of its leaves but on careful observation of other photos i have come to the conclusion it is Grewia serrulata. Besides recently i have taken some photos (which i shall post later) which is Grewia serrulata and the leaves and flowers match. Kindly confirm. Photos taken at Aambyvalley Rd., Lonavala, Pune in Dec.16.


Yes, It is Grewia serrulata. However our group is working on the species complex, the same element also can be fairly used for Grewia multiflora too.

Malvaceae Fortnight:: Grewia for id from Chakrata: NS July 10/10 : 6 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (4)
Please suggest specific id for this small tree recorded from Chakrata area..


Grewia species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) 


Need to study, it is interesting specimens.


Please upload pictures displaying underside of leaves, flowers at different angle so that petals can be seen and provide sizes of leaf, sepal, petal.
The only species I could connect with FBI is G. salvifolia Heyne, but with a big question mark


Again a mixture of Grewia eripcarpa, G. asiatica and G abutilifolia, distinct one!!
Need more details, definitely something which not been recorded before!


Does not matches with current species available in efi so far as per comparative images at Grewia


Looking at leaves, it appears like Grewia flavescens


Thanks, …
But much different from images at Grewia flavescens Juss.
I think also does not have distribution over there (Chakrata) as per details at this link.

Grewia serrulata DC.


Thanks a lot, …
You are right. Matches with images at Grewia serrulata
I think we all were confused by the yellowish of the sepals.

Charcoal tree and its fruit:
Observed at Matheran, in March`12


Why it is called charcoal tree? is charcoal made from this tree?


Yes, it is very fast growing and useful for producing charcoal.


A species of Grewia, I guess.


… a view of charcoal tree fruiting … http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/3187200273/


Appears close to images at Grewia serrulata DC.

I agree … Looks to me as Grewia serrulata.

Grewia sp.



Closest I can is Grewia optiva J. R. Drumm. ex Burret as per comparative images at Grewia

It is either G. serrulata​ or G. multiflora which is a complex I am currently working on. Definitely not G. optiva.


Grewia laevigata Vahl !


Grewia multiflora Juss.


Given a small account of Grewia multiflora and its synonyms while working on Grewias of Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

Isn’t it Grewia serrulata


Yes Syn.


OK.
