MS Aug.,2017/03 Aralia sp. for Id. : 12 posts by 3 authors. 4 correct images.

Location : Aizawl, Mizoram
Altitude : ca 920 m.
Date : 13-08-2017
Habit : Shrub or small tree, armed with prickles.
Habitat : Wild

Is the photograph (1) is from the same tree/ shrub ? Looks different. 


Please check for Aralia elata  : http://www.treetopics.com/aralia_elata/index.htm. Also check for the variety.


Is it occurs in NE India ?

I am only suggesting the ID. Pl check the flora of North East and relevant floras for its  previous records.


The first photo (Aralia 1) is of Rubus sp


My doubt has been clarified


Pl. check comparative images at /species/a—l/ar/araliaceae


Could not find a match here too.


Aralia thomsonii Seem. ex C.B.Clarke ?? And the first image looks Rubus rosifolius.


What are the species reported from your area?
May I request you to pl. send high resolution images. to check the details.
Some possibility is there for Aralia thomsonii (as suggested by …) as per GBIF- Specimen 1 Specimen 2
Leaves appear quite velvety in the specimens. 

Aralia armata, A.foliosa var. sikkimensis & A.thomsonii are recorded in Mizoram.


2 high resolution images attached


Yes, I think matches with Aralia thomsonii (as suggested by …) as per GBIF- Specimen 1 Specimen 2

SK 3649 09 November 2022: 9 images.

Location: Taplejung, East Nepal
Date: October 2022
Elevation: 2000m.
Habitat: Wild
Zanthoxylum rhetsa (Roxb.) DC. ??
Image courtesy Mr. Sajan Subedi.

Aralia species …, Check with A. spinosa.


Surprisingly, it has not got any distribution in Asia.


Does it have distribution in Nepal? It is not listed in the Checklist of Nepal and has no distribution as per POWO.
There is a possibility of Zanthoxylum oxyphyllum Edgew.
Pl. check.


Zanthoxylum rhetsa (Roxb.) DC. is listed in Nepal.
May I have your opinion about this, … ?
Z. oxyphyllum is also a possibility.


Any more feedback pl., if any


Any possibility of Aralia armata (Wall. ex G.Don) Seem. or Aralia thomsonii Seem. ex C.B.Clarke ???



Some more images shot by Mr. Sajan Subedi yesterday!
34 images.


I think images from Sajan ji, should be of
https://efloraofindia.com/2021/01/02/aralia-thomsonii/ (as per keys herein)
