Ceriscoides turgida syn Gardenia turgida: 4 images.
Sir Sending here some photographs of Ceriscoides turgida clicked near Aurangabad MH on May 2021 (Fruits August 2018)

Very nice presentation.
For me it looks the picture of the flower doesn’t match with the images at : https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/14/ceriscoides-turgida/

To me id appears to be OK.
Flowers shown in the link are in fruiting stage.

Ceriscoides turgida: 5 images.
Found in foothills in Jawadhu hills of Eastern ghats, TN.
Aug.


ID Please: 7 images.

Please help me in identifying this plant.
Seen near mhatoba tekdi, Pune.

Let me add total tree/ shrub height is 3ft. bark is whitish.

Closest guess is Xantolis tomentosa

I am uncertain as per images at Xantolis tomentosa

This plant bears opposite & fasciculate leaves.
In my view, this appears to be Ceriscoides turgida (Roxb.) Tirveng. [Rubiaceae].

amituid 2 01102012:
Randia sp.? for identification. The photographs were taken in Dumka, Jharkhand. Details as in photos

It look like Tamilnadia uliginosa

flowers of India says it grows in bogs, wet lands near rivers etc ..  was your tree growing in such wet places
I wish we could peek inside the flowers for the telltale signs of its flowered id…

The tree was found in waste places.

Does not match with Tamilnadia ulginosa. Looks more like a Catunaregam species. The details of the flowers are not clear. The ID would be easy if the close ups of the flowers are posted.

I think this is Ceriscoides turgida, as per images and details herein.

Catunaregam spinosa

No, … It is https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/14/ceriscoides-turgida/
