It is Breynia vitis-idaea (Burm.f.) C.E.C. Fischer of Euphorbiaceae. The spelling is idaea, not idea! Yes I think … is right. Breynia vitis-idaea
Pl. validate the species id. of the Breynia –vitis- idea

Habitat: near a stream (riparian) Could this be Sauropus albiflorus? Looks like Phyllanthus reticulatus Isn’t it Breynia vitis-idaea? Is the stem glabrous? It looks like it, so I think the Breynia vitis- idaea more likely. I agree with …, matches best with Breynia vitis-idaea This is not a Phyllanthus sp. It is Breynia vitis-idaea of Euphorbiaceae. Many thanks for the identification. Yes …, the stem was glabrous. It should be Breynia vitis-idaea (Burm.f.) Fischer of Euphorbiaceae. I would like to know the Tamil name for this shrub.

ID please.
This plant does not seem to be the common cup-saucer plant Breynia retusa; the “saucer” is missing here. The plant was about 2m high on the slope; the pendant male flowers about 10 – 12 mm long, about 4 – 5 mm across. The spherical fruits were about 7 – 8 mm dia; not very sure. Breynia ¿ species ? … (family: Phyllanthaceae, Euphorbiaceae) As the saucer is missing, the other common Indian species, Breynia vitis-idaea should be considered. Yes I agree with your identification Thank you very much … for the affirmation.
Names of Plants in India :: Breynia vitis-idaea (Burm.f.) C.E.C.Fisch. : 6 posts by 2 authors.
I get the following names as per Flora of India (compiled from literature and field notes):
Beng.: Kalisitki, Kamkatajuli, Silpati; Hindi: Tikhar; Kan.: Billisulli, Kaadu nugge; Mal.: Chuvanna-niruri, Kattu-niruri, Pavalapulah, Pavilapulu; Or.: Jajan; Sant.: Kadupala, Karki; Tam.: Kattuniruri, Manipullanti, Pomarai, Seppulae, Sithuruvam; Tel.: Adavimunaga, Balli, Ettapurugudu, Yellari.
Now there is no need to give a hyphen to join the words vitis and idaea.
I appreciate the photography. Many many thanks … for appreciation and more information related to names. I will scan and send you the references (JPEG) tomorrow. Sorry. the hyphen in this case, i.e. vitis-idaea will stay. I have checked Article 60.9. of ICN.

1st October 2014 More photos. Attachments (5) Breynia vitis-idaea, I think. Yes, it is a morphological variant of Breynia vitis-idaea; I have collected both varieties. the leaves are thick, coriaceous, but it is described by many as thin papery leaves; the fruit shape is also different from the traditional descriptions. Looks like Bridelia retusa. efi pages on Breynia vitis-idaea & Bridelia retusa Breynia sp. resembles vitis-idea .

It is B. vitis-idaea, but you need to see the fruits to be sure. At Flowers of India http://www.flowersofindia.MountainCoffeeBush…, I tend to agree with .. id on account of leaf shape and the length of pedicel in male flowers. But a fruiting specimen would really help to confirm the id. As you know, fruiting calyx is enlarged in B. retusa whereas it is not enlarged in B. vitis-idaea. … a counter-query: Is / Are there any other species close to B. vitis-idaea ? Without female flowers and fruits it is not possible to comment on the correct identity of the images. Thank you very very much … for the clarity regarding limitation to resolve the ID of this query.

Dear friends, please validate this plant to be Breynia vitis-idaea; my earlier post remained inconclusive for want of view of fruit.
This plant best visualized as larger version of Breynia retusa; the male flowers seen in the pictures below are comparatively larger … as much as 2 – 3 times larger than that of B. retusa. at Coorg on 30 MAR 11 Looks like Breynia vitis-idaea.

I could not find Breynia oblongifolia anywhere in India as per details from different sources at Breynia, including POWO and CoL.
Pl. correct. I think you are right. The leaves don’t agree with Breynia oblongifolia. The rounded leaf tips are a bit puzzling, but this one image is not sufficient to conclude anything. Breynia vitis-idaea. . Phyllanthaceae: Breynia vitis-idaea (Burm.f.) C E.C.Fisch.: 1 image. .
