     For ID- 300612- NS2- frm Pune: holarrhena pubescens Pandhra Kuda (Marathi: पांढरा कुडा) Negative. This is Casearia ovata [C.esculenta] locally called Kirmira / Kulkulta. Please check the archives of this group for my photographs of this. A few of my photographs of this are available at these links isn’t this more likely to be C. graveolens ?. I also looked at your pics and I have a doubt. Good question ! Had me foxed for awhile. Checked Dr. Almeida’s ‘ Flora of Maharashtra’. The main difference between the 2 being – while the stipules in C.ovata are minute, scale-like; in C. graveolens they are long, lanceolate-subulate.
Spoke to Dr. Almeida. According to him the current trend in veering towards considering both the same. yes, and the other difference according to some sources is the leaf margins. C. graveolens is described as having crenate leaf margins, whereas C. ovata according to some sources has entire leaves. The pics posted here show crenate leaves. See also the Biotik website which shows C. ovata (esculenta) with closeups of the leaves. They are quite different. Fair enough, but the leaf-margin as a differentiating characteristic is not mentioned in any of the standard reference books. [In fact, for example in Olea dioica, while most have leaves with serrate margins there are some which have leaves with entire margins]. Yes, that’s true. But as we only have limited clues to go on, as in these photos, we have to go with whatever we can!

in Matheran on 19 FEB 11 Well done Sir.
Salicaceae (including Flacourtiaceae) fortnight :: Casearia graveolens at Nagla forest :: DVFEB02 : 3 posts by 2 authors. 2 images. Excellent.
Please help me identify the fruiting twig. The images are attached herewith.
The details are as follows:
Date : 17th May 2015
Habit : Unarmed shrub : 3 feet tall
Place : Kamshet. Maharashtra
Leaves : Alternate, 5.5 cm x 11 cm Elliptic, minutely serrate, apex: acute, base : oblique, no white sap when plucked, petioles 1 cm
Flowers : Not seen but inflorescence must be in fascicles attached to main stem. Calyx : pentamours with free sepals.
Berries: 1 cm, Yellow when ripe, persistent calyx, berries splitting in 3 segments to eject red seeds. Is it a species of Pittosporum?
On the basis of photographs, It could be Casearia elliptica Willd. Thank you … for the lead. It is indeed a species of Casearia. The features are more closer to C.graveolens (habit: shrub & glabrous leaves) rather than its closely related C. elliptica (habit : tree; tomentose leaves). it is Caesaria graveolens The plant showing in the photographs is Casearia tomentosa (FAM: Flacourtiaceae). efi pages on Casearia tomentosa (syn. Casearia elliptica Willd.) & Casearia graveolens It is Casearia graveolens

I saw these beautiful flowers first time. …, is that shrub found just about 100 metres from the iron gate entry to Yeoor Hills ? I think Flacourtia indica has more number of stamens than depicted in this flower……. I know what … is going to say, Casearia species isn’t it ji?! Yes, correct … the slender shrub that am referring is strong in my mind … … has given the ID … Casearia elliptica (presently C. tomentosa). This is Casearia ovata (Lamk.) Willd. of family Flacourtiaceae. It was profusely flowering in mid June at Yeoor and many insects like butterflies, bees and flies were fluttering around it to feed on its nectar. This is not Flacaurtia, for sure, and for Casearia…… Well, a good close up of leaf would make life easy, I guess. it seems that the leaves are serrated and the venations is very much different from both the genus Attached are my photos, (may not be) the exact tree, in Yeoor hills seen on 19 JUN 10 about 7:20 AM. Blepharistemma serratum (old name B corymbosum) of Rhizophoraceae family. So far reported from Kerala and Karnataka only. A rare, endemic (Western Ghats) species. Small/medium sized tree. These cannot be Blepharistemma serratum because as per Biotik database they have simple, opposite leaves, interpetiolar and caducous. Both … and … pictures show alternate leaves and leaf margins also do not match Blepharistemma serratum. The pictures cannot be Casearia ovata either leaves, margins and flowers not matching. Casearia most probably graveolens I too agree with Casearia This is Casearia graveolens. I agree with …, Casearia graveolens

One observation is the texture of the fruits in your pics is uneven whereas I think in my pics is smooth. Is this okay?? Please check this link Casearia sps for sure In the Salicaceae (including Flacourtiaceae) fortnight, ID has tended towards Casearia graveolens instead of C. ovata… Resurfacing the post for the mail trail above.. I am a bit confused now… the 2 species are quite similar but once you see the leaves of the 2 side by side you will see the difference. IN some images which only show the fruit it is very difficult to say which is which.
If you look at the habitat of the Silonda trail you will see it is typical moist deciduous and that is a big clue. C. graveolens is very common in these kinds of forests whereas C. ovata is restricted to everygreen forest understorey. The other clue is fruiting time. Your pics were taken in June so it is certainly not C. ovata which flowers end of June to early August and fruits in September – October. Thanks … for clearing detailing the differences…

Thank you … Could not go more close. Shot from bus window.😁! It looks so; Casearia is sure There is no match other than Casearia glomerata but this does not represent the typical condition as the fruiting pedicels appear to be less that 10 mm in length.
I think very close as per images at Casearia graveolens also.

They are the fruit of Casearia esculenta locally called Kirmira or Kulkulta. I got confused trying to understand this one. I could not find description of Casearia esculenta in any book.

Thanks for for the book reference, something I was desperately looking for. It was a sight for sore eyes! I think u r right.

Casearia ovata [C.esculenta] fruiting:
Was at my farm at Shahpur over the weekend. Casearia ovata [syn. C.esculenta] locally called Kirmira / Kulkulta was fruiting.

My previous photographs of this tree are also available in the archives of this group. These are two different accepted species as per The Plant List:

Casearia graveolens Dalz. was earlier placed in Samydaceae or Flacourtiaceae but now in Salicaceae.
It is a small tree or shrub frequent in lower hills of Uttarakhand reaching up to 1600m altitude.
The picture is from Jeolikot area near Naini Tal of Uttarakhand. May I request you for the high resolution images, to check the stipules.
I think it may be Casearia zeylanica (Gaertn.) Thw. with triangular/ ovate minute stipules rather than Casearia graveolens with long lanceolate stipules. May I request you for the high resolution images, to check the stipules.
I think it may be Casearia zeylanica (Gaertn.) Thw. with triangular/ ovate minute stipules rather than Casearia graveolens with long lanceolate stipules. Till date, only two species of Casearia (C. graveolens and C. tomentosa) are known in Uttarakhand as per the Flora of Uttarakhand vol-1 (Pusalkar & Srivastava 2018). Following the key (Leaves glabrous…. C.graveolens; leaves hairy ……C. tomentosa) it is C. graveolens only. Moreover, C. zeylanica is not known in Western Himalaya. Flora of India gives distribution in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala only.
I tried with my available images but since stipules are caducous (falling soon from plants), I am not able to see the stipule character. Thanks, …, May I see the other images.
