Location : Tawi WLS Alphonsea species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) Same as in MS Dec.2014/01 Alphonsea sp. ? for ID
I guess Alphonsea lutea is correct. Tip of the fruit is creating doubt about it id as Alphonsea lutea, as I could not find any such fruit in GBIF I could find a similar fruit in one specimen only under it, but it is also named as Alphonsea zeylanica
But fruits in specimens of Alphonsea zeylanica look different in GBIF and it have distribution only in S.India and Sri Lanka. I also tried all possibilities and found it closest. Fruit shape may vary according to stage I guess. . MS Dec.2014/01 Alphonsea sp. ? for ID : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2)
Location : Tawi, Mizoram
Altitude : ca. 1,500 m. Date : Flower – 08-04-2012 Fruit – 11-09-2012 (unmature) Habit : Medium-zized evergreen tree Habitat : It grows wild Note : Fruit edible Alphonsea seems okay to me. Species? Definitely a species of Alphonsea Thanks, … There are only two species reported from the area.
Can it be Alphonsea lutea as per images, details and references herein, as it looks different from other species i.e. Alphonsea ventricosa (Roxb.) Hook. f. & Thomson? Alphonsea gaudichaudiana (Baill.) Finet & Gagnep. found in india ? No. it is not found in India as per POWO
