Zanthoxylum ovalifolium

Rutaceae Week_RVS2_Zanthoxylum ovalifolium;
Zanthoxylum ovalifolium Wight, from the W.Ghats of Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu.
I hope the id is correct!

No doubt this is Zanthoxylum ovalifolium

A new one for me… but I can easily see the family resemblance … seems to have a shared three leaflet arrangement of those in Limonia and Bael trees …

Could this be Toddalia sp by any chance..

Thank you sir. Is there any species apart from Toddalia asiatica?

I could also find Toddalia bilocularis W. & A. (but it is not clear if this is the accepted name or Vepris bilocularis Engl.). Pl. see Toddalia

I can confirm that the 2 names Toddalia bilocularis W. & A. and Vepris bilocularis Engl. are synonyms, Vepris bilocularis Engl. being the preferred name. I have not covered these 2 genera in the MMPND yet.
I prefer to contact you directly when/ if I can help, because I cannot handle the forum, it is too intense and the mail is much too voluminous for me.

…, I am uncertain. Do I take it as Vepris bilocularis? … doesn’t actually mention if its being confirmed if the plant is Vepris bilocularis or not.

The image shows simple leaf.
So I think both Toddalia asiatica and bilocularis are ruled out because their leaves are trifoliate; also
asiatica has spines on the leaf blade.  (Not sure about bilocularis) .

If you are sure its Rutaceae (aromatic leaves ?) and it had long spines, you could check against Atalantia ..

Leaves are very much trifoliate. They tend to fall off easily and when the shrub was tugged at. Most likely not an Atalantia sp.

Malayalam name കാന്തം കൊളുത്ത് of Zanthoxylum ovalifolium Wight:

Sam ji has suggested that ഗന്ധം കൊളുന്ത് gandham kolunthu is more appropriate and correct name compared to കാന്തം കൊളുത്ത് kaantham koluthu in another post … https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/kXoAAAJ
Will make the changes shortly in my notes.

Malayalam name കാന്തം കൊളുത്ത് kantham koluthu:
The correct Malayalam name is ഗന്ധം കൊളുന്ത് gantham kolunthu.  Here ഗന്ധം gantham means smell or fragrance or odour and കൊളുന്ത് kolunthu means sprout leaves or young shoot of plant, simply we can say it as an inflorescence.  And I think kantham koluthu is an error occurred while translation.  For example, the plucking of young shoots of tea plant is very common and here this work is simply known as കൊളുന്ത് നുള്ളൽ kolunthu nullal, നുള്ളൽ nullal means plucking.  I am sure, the correct matching name is ഗന്ധം കൊളുന്ത് gantham kolunthu relating to botany.  You can think it as a modified name, but not.

No one corrected this name because these two words in this name are pure Malayalam wordings and haven’t any error in spellings or wording, and only feels error if it is looking through botanical means. For example leaf: ഇല ela, it is correct spelling in Malayalam,  but one well experienced botanist suggest it as എല using ‘എ a’ instead of ഇ e, (എല ala is kitchen language) and if there is not available a correct letter, then it is Ok.  Sure you can use the name ഗന്ധം കൊളുന്ത് gandham kolunthu suggested by me with mentioning my name, if needed.
