Trees 5-7 meters; Thorny. Very few leaves at the time of flowering.
Mild fragrance (Truly not very pleasant). Fresh flowers white. Old flowers turn brownish.
My specimen had 7 petals 2cm approx 28 filaments with long anthers. Single style with a 4 partite globose stigma rising above the stamens.
.
To differentiate between the subspecies.. As per the BSI Key
1. Drupes +/- 1cm long. Leaf apex acute …ssp. salvifolium
1. Drupes +/- 2cm long. Leaf apex acuminate … ssp. hexapetalum.
very important plant in medicine…..fruits are edible in summer season .. commonly known as Ankul in Maharashtra …..fruits taste sweet with bitterness due to richness in alkaloid…..;
.
Bangalore – RA – Alangium salviifolium – Ankol Tree:
Sage Leaved Alangium is a tall thorny tree native to India. It grows to a height of about 3 to 10 meters. The bark is ash colored, rough and faintly fissured. The leaves are elliptic oblong, elliptic lanceolate or oblong lanceolate. The flowers are greenish white, fascilcled, axillary or on old wood. The berries are ovoid, ellipsoid or nearly globose, glabrous, smooth and violet to purple. The flowering season is February to June
Ref. Flowers of India
Alangium salvifolium (Linn.f.) Wang. OR (fish smelling fruit ID 8-July-12 SK3) : 9 images. 1 post by 1 author.
This can be regarded as continuation of my earlier post, “fish smelling fruit ID 8-July-12 SK3”, at efi thread. I found these flowers on another tree, of same species, in the same village.
Though it is known as AANSH-PHAL locally, the Bengali names i found in old lit. are – বাঘ আঁকড়া / আকর কাঁটা / আঁকড়া (BAAGH-AANKRA / AAKAR / AANKRA).
Some confusion remains though –
- A. decapetalum Lam. in Hortus Suburbanus Calcuttensis
- A. hexapetalum Willd. in Flora Indica and Hortus…. and Flora of British India
- A. lamarckii Thw. in Flora of British India and Bengal Plants
A group thread, on sub-species, can be found at efi thread.
alangium salvifolium, elephanta caves off the coast of bombay, yesterday (17.3.13)

Pls ID. A small tree, flowers are just opening now, place- Hort. nursery, S. D. Agricultural University, Dist- Banaskantha, North Gujarat.
Alangium salvifolium ssp salvifolium belongs to Alangiaceae
Yes I too agree Alangium salvifolium.
Alangiaceae
These trees are in plenty in Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary tank-bund near Chennai. A few trees are also seen in the Guindy National Park ( children park area), Chennai.
Nice photographs, but again this is not a ‘marriage’. Please check these links :
Thank you once again …
I had a wrong notion, that only Ficus rumphii was known as ‘strangler fig’! Now, i see that a number of fig trees are called by the same name – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangler_fig.

https://dineshvalke.blogspot.com/2020/11/alangium-salviifolium-lf-wangerin.html
Regarding Kannada name ಅಂಕೋಲೇ ಮರ the correct script in Kannada is ಅಂಕೋಲೆ ಮರ. However, English transliteration is perfect. The tree is also known as ಗುಡ್ಡದ ಗೋಣಿ Guddada goni. I also referred to the Government of Karnataka official website (Pilikula website): https://pilikula.karnataka.gov.in/87/alangium-salvifolium/kn. This is for your kind information.
Will correct the Kannada name to ಅಂಕೋಲೆ ಮರ shortly.
About the Alangium salviifolium subspecies – salviifolium and hexapetalum – they are now treated as separate species – Alangium salviifolium (habit: large shrub, distributed all over India) and Alangium hexapetalum (habit: straggling shrub or climber, distributed in peninsular India). Literature and articles about these two subspecies (now species) are often mixed up for each other; the common names are almost mixed.
After lot of analysis, though I may yet me mistaking, I have compiled ಅಂಕೋಲೆ ಮರ ankole mara as name for Alangium salviifolium and ಗುಡ್ಡದ ಗೋಣೀ guddada goni for Alangium hexapetalum … see separate post …
https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/IOBgAJ
Thanks a lot for the clarification. I appreciate your exhaustive study. You always make authentic study. Great, I missed out somewhere.
I will recheck and return to you..
Thanks very much for the kind words. Actually, I was reminded about this matter by dear … – he noticed a few vernacular names having suffixes meaning tree, climber, and so on, being used erroneously. For example, mara, maram = tree, used for A. hexapetalum and valli = climber for A. salviifolium.
In south Indian literature, articles, the local names of these two species seem to be shared / mixed liberally.
This is regarding ‘mara, maram = tree, used for A. hexapetalum and valli = climber for A. salviifolium.’ mentioned in your mail. I wish to bring to your information mara is Kannada whereas maram & valli are Tamil words; also used in Malayalam.
I only wanted to clarify (in this specific compilation of both Alangium species) that various regional languages of south India – whether Kannada / Tamil / Malayalam – having suffixes like mara / maram / valli / etc … are leniently shared among both species, not taking into account the habit of the species.
I hope I have not confused you further.
Not many people know this. But there was a concept of “Hu Card Index’, developed by late Prof. Shiu Ying Hu, a China-born, Professor as Chinese University of Hong Kong. She collected names since the first publication in 1753 for all Chinese Plants, where ever she could find and prepared a collection of over 1.5 lakh cards. And, she had staffs to help. Her index is still maintained at the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University.
This effort by Dinesh sir, single-handedly, is nothing less than that. We should call it, “Valke Card Index of Indian Plants‘. It is really a good work, literally going unnoticed.
Thanks very much, dear Pankaj, for the kind words; they made my day !!! 🙂
My work does get noticed by Tabish and Garg ji. Plus those people wanting to search names in any regional language may also be searching eFI, FoI and my blog, for sure. That is the limit of getting my passion noticed !!!
And, I am no longer working single-handedly … in eFI, I have many dear member friends who regularly validate / provide regional names. At facebook too, I have some friends who share my enthusiasm. They help me coin names for “nameless” plants; some FB friends, I depend solely for provision of names – the names which have not found their way on the internet.
Minor change in Kannada name …
My saying, “doesn’t get noticed” was not in an odd sense. Of course, it gets noticed, but your compilation has far more importance than that. On a larger global scale. Again I will bring out the context of Chinese botanists. They have Chinese names for each and every plant and those names are so accurate that many Chinese botanists use Chinese names over Latin names (many of them claim they do not know the Latin but know the Chinese names). They focus on latin names, only at the time of publication. So your work is more important than what you think.
Thank you so much, dear Pankaj !!!
I feel honoured, and feel very happy reading all your good words and thoughts.
I have a very long way to go … 379 species names compiled, close to 1300 species more to go (counting my collection alone).
I hope I make more than that 🙏😊
Thanks Pankaj very much, and thanks to so many friends at eFI … There are a lot of inspiring people here.
Salute to your determination and hard work!! You are inspiration to many !!
Best wishes for all your future work
Yes, there is no doubt that Dinesh ji is certainly a legend in himself.
A PhD or not does not matter.
In today’s age of citizen science, he is making immense contributions.
His work will continue to be appreciated even by the future generations.
Thank you very very much, Garg ji, for your kind words !!! They motivate me towards my passion.
You are one of the main people from whom I draw inspiration.
ଆଙ୍କୁଲ in Odia
I searched ଅଙ୍କୋଟ in the dictionary … It is listed for Alangium hexapetalum Lam.
But, you may please assert that the name ଆଙ୍କୁଲ is also used for Alangium salviifolium, I will then compile the name for both the species.
The regional names for both the species of Alangium are shared liberally among each … salviifolia (shrub or small tree) and hexapetalum (straggling shrub).
Yes Sir i also follow https://dsal.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/praharaj/
ଆଙ୍କୁଲକୋଳି Āṅkulakoḻi (p. 715)
ଆଙ୍କୁଲକୋଳି— Āṅkulakoḻi ଦେ. ବି— ଆଙ୍କୁଲ ଗଛର କୋଳି Plums of the Āṅkula plant.
Plums of the Āṅkula plant.means its about the plants of Alangium only.
ଅଙ୍କୁଲ Aṅkula (p. 106)
ଅଙ୍କୁଲ— Aṅkula ଦେ. ବି. (ସଂ. ଅଙ୍କୋଟ)— ଅଙ୍କୋଟ (ଦେଖ) Aṅkoṭa (See).
These meanings are different.in regional language .
ଆଙ୍କୁଲକୋଳି is the appropriate Odia for the Species
I will compile the name ଅଙ୍କୁଲ ankula for Alangium salviifolia too.
ଆଙ୍କୁଲକୋଳି ankulakoli = fruits of the ଅଙ୍କୁଲ ankula plant
Odia name added.

Kindly identify this tree with white stringy fragrant flowers, photographed in the Javadi Hills, Tiruvannamalai district, Tamil Nadu and also (the last 3 pictures) in the Horsely Hills area, Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh, in March 2017.
In this season, the tree is evidently flowering after having shed all or most of its leaves.
Height of trees about 5-8 metres, so a small-medium tree, at least the specimens i saw.
This must be Alangium sp. Please check local flora for ID to species.
Seems to be Alangium salvifolium
yes alangium salvifolium. fruits are red in colour edible in nature
Found this as Skthala viriksham in a Vishnu temple in Thiruvannamalai district of Tamil nadu.
I know it’s difficult with leaves to find the ID. Just sharing. No issues if we could not able to find it.
It looks Alangium sp. to me.
Tamal tree is supposed to be one of the Garcenia species. But the tree doesnot look like it. The leaves in the photographs sent by … have similarity to young leaves of Alangium salvifolium
I am not capable. Sorry. In my new visit I will try to check for any flowers and fruits
| 23/2/08- in Vedantangal Bird sanctuary, near Chennai, Tamil Nadu; near Himayat sagar lake, Aziz nagar, Hyderabad- March’09?; Santiniketan, March 17, 2009; 28 Mar 2010, 02.55PM- Mamandur, Andhra Pradesh; 28 Mar 2010, 02.55PM- Mamandur, Andhra Pradesh; in Pune city 24 Mar 2010; |

Alangium salvifolium in Chennai: This tree has dropped nearly all its leaves at the crown which is full of buds and flowers. There are leaves and flowers on the lower branches. It is a well-grown tree standing without hindrance – a beautiful sight in Chennai.
.
The fruit shape colora and leaves remind me of POMEGRANATE …
It is Punica granatum… Punica granatum tree may indeed have spines on branches…
Since its in a park, May be you can keep an eye on it and photograph the flowers…
Its not pomegranate, its something else
The fruit is like a big berry
It is Alangium salvifolium from family Cornaceae.
The only alangium berry I have seen had many sided angulated surface……
if its really this … then the flowers next season will solve the mystery, because Punica flowers are distinctive.
Yes it is Alangium salvifolium (L.f.) Wang
Commonly known as Ankol in Maharashtra

Sharing the images of Alangium salviifolium from NBNP, Anaikatti, Coimbatore.

Habitat: Garden
Habit: Tree.
I am using the FILEminimizer Pictures programme. This can convert the photos up to 50 K.
The attached photo is good for id. purpose. your comment will be nice.
Yes …, they are fine, being closeup of flower. Let us see how photographs of habit or twigs appear upon reducing.
In that case Can I use this sofware for upload the pictures.
Alangium salviifolium Dr Phadke.Pune: Alangium salviifolium
Family : Cornaceae; also placed in Family : Alangiaceae.
I observed few trees flowering during last 15 days on Vetal Tekdi.
Had failed to observe before during last 7 years.
Trees 5-7 meters; Thorny. Very few leaves at the time of flowering. No fruits observed by me so far (Will keep a watch)
A small flowered twig with a bud kept in vase. Bloomed next evening to midnight.
Mild fragrance (Truly not very pleasant). Fresh flowers white. Old flowers turn brownish.
My specimen had 7 petals 2cm approx 28 filaments with long anthers. Single style with a 4 partite globose stigma rising above the stamens.
Please share the leaf picture, if you have one.
This is what the leaves look like: link
I understood the reason for your query.
To differentiate between the subspecies.. As per the BSI Key
1. Drupes +/- 1cm long. Leaf apex acute … ssp.salvifolium
1. Drupes +/- 2cm long. Leaf apex acuminate … ssp.hexapetalum.
The tree was more or less leafless. Attaching a picture with new foliage. The apex of the leaves doesn’t appear to be acuminate so it has to be ssp. salvifolium.
I am not sure about the spelling of the species name too. it has been spelled with a single ‘l’ or double ‘ll’ at different entries.
Thank you … for understanding my query correctly. Even if I am confident enough with the id I wanted everybody to see the leaves to have a perfect idea about the plant. Otherwise whenever we see Alangium, everything would become Alangium salvifolium.
Hope such clarifications always helps in keeping a good understanding on similar looking species or sub species.
I forgot to mention that the pictures were superb!
These trees are in plenty on the bunds of Vedantangal Bird Sanctuary near Chennai. A few trees are also seen in Guindy National Park ( Childrens park ) Chennai.

In flowersofindia the height of this tree is mentioned as 3-10 m. At the same place it is written that it is a tall tree. As the height mentioned in the writeup it can be a dwarf to small tree.
On the bund at the Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary near Chennai, the trees are tall, over 30 feet at least. About a month ago, they were full of flowers and fruit. Villagers told us that the fruit , which were green then, were edible when purple and ripe.
Kolha for ID:
this is a small trree height about 15-20 feet.
Found in abundance in open land. I have few trees on my land too.
In flowering season it drops its leaves.
Locally called Kolha. Couldn’t find any reference with this name.
Could this be Alangium salvifolium.
It seems. It is also known as Ankol, Akot or Kolha. It is added in Traditional Formulations for pest management in medicinal rice as important ingredient. I am talking about Vedic Farming.
Alangium salviifolium indeed.
Alangiaceae Now Cornaceae as per The plant List.

Fruits Type/ Shape – oval. Size- about 1 inch.
Planted during 1997.
Most probably this is Alangium salviifolium subsp. salviifolium (Earlier known as Alangium lamarkii) of Cornaceae family.
i doubt it as a member of cornaceae family. otherwise it is seems A.salviifolium to me too.
… has identified this as Alangium salvifolium. Pl validate.
Just a guess. Is it Alangium sp
Thank you … for the lead. So could it be Alangium salvifolium
Can somebody confirm the ID of this tree as I find the fruits to be slightly different from the images od Alangium salvifolium
Yes, it is Alangium salviifolium to me too.
fish smelling fruit ID 8-July-12 SK3:
I thought it is a Sapindaceae member, something like Longan fruits. But a closer look at the apex of the fruits suggests it maybe a member of Jamun family, Myrtaceae. I ate this sweet juicy fruit that smells strongly of raw fish. The owner told me that it is ANSPHAL in Bengali.

Its Alangium salvifolium (Linn.f.) Wang. , of Alangiaceae family . very important plant in medicine…..fruits are edible in summer season .. commonly known as Ankul in Maharashtra …..fruits taste sweet with bitterness due to richness in alkaloid…..its population is restricted to some areas only wherever it is available…
sapling for identification:
This sapling from Bandhavgarh, Madhya Pradesh belongs to a tree called “kolha” in the local language.
It flowers in March- ? white flowers. It grows into a medium sized tree and is used as a hedge and for firewood. Can anyone identify what is the botanical name ?
PS: This sapling was a gift from … from his home (skay’s camp) garden where we stayed for 5 days. He has three well grown medium sized trees of ‘Kolha’ bordering a part of his garden.
I hope plants survived if not I will bring some more.
Kolha – Alangium salviifolium .
This was ID on eflora through it’s flowers.
Great to know its ID finally. Yes one of them is still surviving.

Saw this tree on the mountain housing the caves in Badami, KA in October 2019.
There was a solitary flower on the tree, probably the flowering period was over, however, no fruits could be seen.
You are right. Plenty in Chennai Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary and Kokkare Bellur Birds sanctuary (Near Maddur, Karnataka )
