Glochidion multiloculare (Rottler ex Willd.) Voigt this plant is quite commonly out there !!


Its a Glochidion sphaerogynum Kurz
Its also recorded from the Tirap area


A reply from another thread:
The link provided by … leads on to another image posted by … in 2010. There we have low resolution image of another Glochidion species having multilocular capsular fruits as found in G. lanceolarium, G. coccineum and G. multiloculare. The characters of the styles are not clear nor do we have the size of the fruits.  The characters of the leaves are also not clear.  In view of this, I am unable to suggest a definite identity of this image.

Regarding identification of the species collected from Mayurbhanja Odisha: 5 very high res. images.

I think we need to see fruiting then we can say based on
Glochidion is problematic genus with elastic and contrasting morphological characters


Glochilion multiloculare.


This is a new record for Odisha.
