Date : 25-05-2012. Habitat : Wild. Habit : Medium sized evergreen tree with aromatic leaves
From where did you collect this?
… pl. confirm.
efi page on Cinnamomum verum (syn: Cinnamomum aromaticum J.Graham)
I think close to images at Cinnamomum tamala (Buch.-Ham.) T.Nees & Eberm.
To me the images seem to be of Cinnamomum tamala.
It does appear to be Cinnamomum. The various spp are very similar vegetatively. Whether C. tamala or C. zeylanicum can be determined easily by chewing the leaves (the un-taxonomical method!!).
If the leaves taste like tezpatta it is C. tamala. However if it tastes like ‘dalchini’, it may be C. zeylanicum or even C. bejholgota.
I am not very familiar with C. aromaticum, so may not be of much help
This is same as at MS,Oct.,2024/04 Cinnamomum sp. for id
Is this Cinnamomum impressinervium ?
Cinnamomum burmanni I think
Who told you ?

After going through the keys and GBIF specimens, I feel it may be Cinnamomum impressinervium (GBIF specimen (one, two and three) compared to Cinnamomum tamala (GBIF specimen (one, two and three).
Cinnamomum burmanni (Nees & T. Nees) Bl. as per discussions at Is it Cinnamomum aromaticum ?
