ID request – 010115PC1 : 7 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (3) same observation was also made for the Grewia tenex of Kachchh district of Gujarat. I think this is Grewia tenax only The leaves of Grewia tenax can be as large as 3 inches (long & wide) if the plant is watered frequently. Perhaps this plant is receiving a generous amount of moisture/water from a nearby source. This plant thrives in the dry conditions of Kachchh where it is quite common. The leaves are polymorphic; the variation in both the size and the shape has been documented in detail by the great botanist Jayakrishna Indraji in his Vanaspati Sastra (published in 1910). Thank you … But the plant is actually growing near the boundary wall in a rocky region of JNU campus. That is interesting. There might be several variables at work behind this unusual leaf size. Usually, the larger leaves of this plant are also relatively thinner when induced by an increase in soil moisture.
