Cordia species

03/05/2011/YRP/02/Chethalayam, Wayanad.:
Am attaching the pictures of the second tree as per thread
29/04/2011/YRP/01/Chethalayam, Wayanad, Kerala. vide this mail. Please identify the tree for me.


This one is definitely a species of Cordia.


Cordia for sure. The flowers may reveal its identity. Though the leaves resemble the leaves of C.subcordata, the fruits are quite different.

Cordia macleodii:
Cordia macleodii

Generally the leaves of Cordia macleodii are more cordate heart shaped rather than elliptic oblong as seen here…. I am not aware about C.gharaf plant

Request for Identification 29072011MC3:
Another identification request. I had posted this plant earlier but
had not got an identification confirmation. Tentatively identified as Cordia alba.

Location: Adyar Theosophical Society Gardens, Chennai
Plant Type: medium sized tree
Flowers: creamish white flowers
Fruits: Berry with large amount of mucilage


would need better picture of the inflorescence branching pattern, of the leaves (preferably front and back ) and the fruit… since its in a garden… it could be easily available..unless you were just visiting that town…


I am resending this so that all the photographs for the tree are available in the same thread. Tentatively identified as Cordia alba.


This could be Cordia lutea of Boraginaceae family.


How does one differentiate between Cordia dichotoma and C. lutea?


The character, upon which I decided the species is the serrated leaves and yellow flowers.
And between these two species; in Cordia dichotoma, leaves are small and margin is entire whereas in C. lutea, leaves are comparatively larger and the margin is serrated (especially towards apex).

i guess this plant and the plant posted by … from Victoria garden for id is same species..


Yes This plant seems to be the same as … plant as suggested by …, but does not look like C. dichotoma or C. sinensis. The closest match seems to be C. lutea, but flowers are much darker in C. lutea. This may be compared with Cordia dentata


Pictures of the same Cordia flowers taken by me at Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai and posted on our group earlier have been identified by …, …, … as Cordia sinensis or Gondi.
I had added two more pictures recently to my earlier post.

Any Cordia sp.??


Probably some Combretaceae member


This is Premna sp


At first look its is Premna to me also.
But its leaves are alternate. In Premna leaves are opposite. So that create some confusion regarding the ID.
The infloresecence and flowers shows similarities with Cordia genus.
So you please confirm the ID after rechecking.

Pl. find the attached file contain fruits of the same plant for id. confirmation.


The fruits seems like Cordia monoica Roxb. Please go through Cordia
