Andhra Pradesh Flora; Eastern Ghats, Identification request: Date- September2010 Location- Eastern Ghats, Altitude 800 Mt.
Habitat- Field hedges
Plant Habit- Large tree
Height- 15-20 mt. Leaves alternate, petiole- 8-11 mm long; lamina- 80mm – 170 mm length; and 40-65 mm width; margin wavy to crenate, tip acute to acuminate
Fruit – stocked, size: 35-48 mm length and 30-38mm width I had collected the same species form Koraput district in 2004. However, I came across only one tree, probably cultivated and couldn’t be identified. The adivasi communities there consider this as a folk variant of Kendu. It may be a member of Rutaceae. Looks like some species of Diospyros. But not sure.
Bark leaf and fruit suggest it as Scolopia crenata not sure because flower is absent may I know the location means district and place of collection (eastern ghats has very vast range of mountains whether the fruit has any cayx if so it may be Diospyros species I will check I think Scolopia crenata appears a better possibility. We took pics only at the fruiting stage. We don’t have flower images. .
