Sterculia hamiltonii (Kuntze) Adelb.
photographed at Assam
Beautiful Flowers and fruit too.
The flowers suddenly to look at appear to belong to Annonaceae. Do you have any front view of open flower to see the Malvaceae characters?
For showing a sterculia from Assam. Not observed in Maharashtra or may be in other parts of the country too. The pods though are somewhat close to S. villosa
.
TQ-Jis2:
This amazing looking plant was photographed from
Gibbon wildlife sanctuary, Jorhat, Assam.
The leaves appear to be whorled.
Any identification clues?
Sterculia sp. probably S. hamiltonii.
From this drawing: it does look like Sterculia nobilis
The accepted name (acc to theplantlist) is Sterculia monosperma var. monosperma
Syn: Sterculia nobilis
I am still not sure but the plant looks very close to S. hamiltonii too. Unfortunately I could not find any authentic literature for S. hamiltonii on net.
Few days back, … had uploaded a few photos of S. hamiltonii on eflora.
May I request … to pl check the following link before finalizing the ID
Thank you … for being persistent in bringing it up again. There seems to be some confusion in the names Sterculia hamiltonii and Sterculia coccinea – GRIN considers them synonyms of each other, but theplantlist considers the status of these names as unresolved.
Nevertheless pictures of Sterculia coccinea flowers on the web agree with the flowers seen here:
Nature loves you
So, one has to give a more careful look.
Sterculia hamiltonii is a shrub whereas Sterculia nobilis is a tree that can grow up to 15m. The plant in the pictures here, is a shrub.
So I think I would go with Sterculia hamiltonii.
