Macaranga sp.

It should be Macaranga denticulata as per Checklist of Nepal (POWO treats Macaranga pustulata King ex Hook.f. as a syn. of it) as per
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/03/12/macaranga-denticulata/
https://www.gbif.org/species/3073960
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200012587
https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/246005

Macaranga denticulata and M. pustulata are entirely different species based on fruit characters according to Whitmore, Gen. Macaranga Prodr. (2008) and both the species are occurring in India.

What is the plant posted by …?

This is Macaranga pustulata.
1 image.

However it is still shown as syn of M. denticulata in POWO, WFO, CoL and GBIF.

So the accepted name should be Macaranga denticulata var. pustulata (King ex Hook.f.) Chakrab. & M.Gangop. ??
Any article / journal on update on this sp. ??

This is a wrong concept advanced by me. If you go through the book Gen. Macaranga Prodr. by T. C. Whitmore (2008) he has shown that these two species are quite distinct. See the image attached by me. The fruits of M. pustulata have glandular patches on the lobes which is absent in M. denticulata.

Need to look for the book ! https://www.ipni.org/n/351317-1

This book was published by Kew. Please see Flora Malesiana Euphorbiaceae online and there you will get the treatment of both the species.

yes. looks like it. other name in FOI is Blistery macaranga

of course its ultimately an Euphorbiaceae via a long route:

Family: Euphorbiaceae>> Subfamily: Acalyphoideae >> Tribe: Acalypheae >> Subtribe: Macaranginae >>Genus: Macaranga Thouars 1806[1] per wikipedia

no wonder its sap is not innocuous

i have seen in thailand on streets

The name is Macaranga denticulata (Blume) Müll.Arg. var. pustulata (King ex Hook.f.) Chakrab. & M.Gangop. distributed in India (Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Assam and Nagaland), Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and China in subtropical evergreen forests, chiefly in old forest clearings, on landslips and abandoned plantations, beween 600 – 2000 m altitudes.

Thank you … There is still some confusion for me.

What confusion?

Confusion according to the links about the correct ID !

Please forget about the links. I reduced Macaranga pustulata to a variety of M . denticulata as it is less pubescent and there will be a few black spots or pustules at the base of lamina where it meets with the petiole.

Is this not Macaranga pustulata?

I have no idea

What is the difference between the two?

Here in case of Macaranga pustulata, there are conspicuous glandular patches/pads on the lobes of ovary and fruits which are lacking in M. denticulata.

Please look here: glandular patches in M. pustulata. Moreover, there will be black dots on leaf lamina near the junction of petiole.

So you mean to say that it is M. pustulata as there are black dots on leaf lamina near the junction of petiole.

Is it?

Fruit character is distinctive between the two species.

But we can not see the fruit character here.

So what do you finally consider it to be ?

Macaranga pustulata.

I think Macaranga sp.

I am just giving a suggestion and you need not take it for granted and you must verify this yourself before posting in Facebook … My suggestion: Macaranga denticulata.

Could it be Macaranga indica Wight ??

This is not Macaranga indica as the fruits are not 1-locular but clearly 2-locular in the images.

This is Macaranga denticulata (Blume) Müll. Arg. var. denticulatea.

Is it different from Macaranga denticulata (Blume) Mull. Arg. ??

No …, This is typical M. denticulata very abundant in that area. Leaves are epeltate as well as slightly peltate, as in these images. Good images are available in efi website. Var. pustulata is slightly different in less deep lobes of fruits and less pubescens with etimes a few pustules near the base of the leaves. M. indica is very different in 1-locular fruits and with a large gland at the base of the bracts outside and it is rather rare species.

Can it also be Macaranga pustulata?

Yes, Macaranga pustulata.

Macaranga species- Crocodile Bank, Chennai

Tree for id (Crocodile Bank, Chennai) : 11 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (5).

Can someone please help with the id of this tree.

The tree seems to be having peltate leaves. Just a guess, can it be related Macaranga peltata.

I do not think it could be found wild in Madras. May be it is planted or it could be something else

Thank you … I will try to get a leaf and feel the texture and if possible take measurements to check if it matches with the M peltata. You are right this tree is planted here. I work at Madras Crocodile Bank Trust and lot of trees have been planted here some 37 years ago by famous herpetologist Mr. Rom Whitaker and his friends. During that time he had got saplings from every where, from western ghats to Anadaman islands and I also think that some may be even brought from S.E Asian countries.

The leaves indeed look like a Macaranga. However I am unable to confirm a sterile material

It was a pleasure being with you on the field and thank you for all the tips on botany. I hope our paths cross again in the near future.

Here are the pictures of the leaf of that tree which most of you think is macaranga species. The texture of the leaf is smooth and so are the edges. The tip of the leaf is not as elongated as that of a peepal leaf.

The macaranga species that … and I saw at Valparai is different that the one at croc bank. The last two pictures are of the macaranga species (either peltata or indica) from Valparai area.

Attachments (5).

efi page on Macaranga peltata

After seeing all five photos, I am now sure that the last two leaves belong to Macaranga. But now I have doubts about the first three photos.

Out of the 5 pictures, the first 3 pics are that of the Tree at Croc Bank (Chennai) which we earlier thought it to be from Genus Macaranga but they are not. The petiole, the bark and the arrangement of the leaves on the tree do not match with that of Macaranga sp.

The last two pictures are definetly from Genus Macaranga (this is confirmed by botanists present on the field with us in Valparai). The petiole is absent because Nilgiri langurs are known to eat only the petioles of Macaranga, and discard the leaves.

Is this Portia tree (Thespesia Populnea)?

There aren’t any flowers.

The foliage looks like that from distance. But in its leaves the petiole is attached away from the edge.
Tree Location: Chhota Kashmir in Aare Colony, Mumbai.

Or is it Tree Mallow / Hibiscus Tiliaceus?

I don’t believe that this is Thespesia, based on the attachment of the petiole to the leaf blade.
Unfortunately, I’m not certain what it is.

I believe this is a Macaranga. Perhaps Macaranga tanarius.

It is Macaranga peltata locally called Chanda.

in marathi called as Chandava
it is not Thespesia

Macaranga tomentosa?? : Attachments (1). 4 posts by 3 authors.
From the leaves i.e. the stalk holding up the leaf like an umbrella (peltate) I presume this is Macaranga tomentosa. The Macaranga tree is one of few trees that have large leaves in an otherwise leafless forest of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai during the current summer months.

It is Macaranga peltata [M. tomentosa] locally called Chanda.

Not possible to tell at this stage. Likely to be Macaranga peltata but may be M. indica as well.

Your Facebook friends took it is M. peltata I have seen but without flowers you can not separate it from M. indica! When in flowering please check whether the bracts have a large sessile gland at base outside and let us know.

Macaranga peltata and M. indica are two different species. You can see the two species in kew website. http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/navigator.do and type the species name.

Macaranga denticulata (Blume) Müll.Arg.
Note the conspicuous glands at the base of leaves and petioles inserted slightly above the base of the leaves. As regards the varietal name, this appears to be the less pubescent var. pustulata but we can be sure of this only if the fruits are made available which will not be deeply bilobed as in var. denticulata and there will be a large viscidly glandular patch on the back of the cocci.
