Id for this tree on Matheran Trek: (Mixed thread):
On trek to Matheran (around 2500 ft.), Maharashtra on 4.2.23.
Appears to be from Malvaceae.
The attached images may also be from the same species.
3 high res. images.
the petioles here seem longer and the leaves are more cordate.
Have you considered Eriolaena sp.?
Yes, you may be right.
What are the species reported from Matheran area?
I am unable to decide based on images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/28/eriolaena/
On searching, I think Eriolaena quinquocularais is reported from the area.
Yes, it looks Eriolaena not Grewia.
I’m not able to get to species level. Eriolaena is quite tricky anyhow.
