I think you are right … But change the family name as Annonaceae.

I think this is Miliusa tomentosa (Roxb.) Sincl. Annonaceae Syn: Uvaria tomentosa.

Ya, Saccopetalum tomentosum is the (popular) synonym of Miliusa tomentosa. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?32638

Milliusa tomentosa (Roxb.) Sinclair – efloraofindia | Google Groups : 8 images.
The south end of the national park in Mumbai throws up some or the other new surprise every time one visits the place. One such today was the fruiting unripe berries and flowering (two only) of Milliusia tomentosa (Roxb.) Sinclair syn. Saccopetalum tomentosum (Roxb) Hook f. & Thomson.
Common name is Humb.

Date/Time-: 25/05/11 – 16:00
Location- Place, Altitude – Kaiga , Uttar Kannada ,Karnataka, 380 mtrs
Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type- wild
Plant Habit- Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb- Tree
Height/Length- 12m

Possibly Miliusa tomentosa (=Saccopetalum tomentosa)

I too think that this could be M. tomentosa of Annonaceae family

Nice find and beautiful photographs. I remember spotting one of the Humb tree at Karnala but never seen it flowering. Thanks … for sharing.

---

Sorry to disappointing you. I doubted mixing up in your photographs. The leaf underside, leaf and fruits photographs are definitely not Miliusa tomentosa or Annonaceae. It must be Lauraceae!!!
Kindly check.

… the mistaken photos are of Alseodaphne semicarpifolia. Many thanks for pointing to the error.

Regarding the Kannada name ಕರಿ ಹೆಸ್ಸರೆ kari hessare, I am of the opinion that ಕರಿ ಹೆಸರೆ ಮರ kari hesare mara as mentioned in  Catalogue of Plants in the Botanical Garden, Bangalore, and its vicinity, is more appropriate. Hence, I suggest that you may choose the names ಕರಿ ಹೆಸರೆ kari hesare,  ಕರಿ ಹೆಸರೆ ಮರ kari hesare mara. Nevertheless, it is left to your choice.

---

Yes, sure, I will change the name shortly, to the more appropriate – ಕರಿ ಹೆಸರೆ kari hesare.

Just for sake of curiosity, what would the name mean ? Literal translation seems to be “black name” OR “charred name”. I ask because this tree does not have any name given in English; thus was thinking if we could coin a name from a regional name. I am aware that ಕರಿ and ಹೆಸರೆ on their own, have various meanings.

Came across this tree at Karnala Bird Sanctuary.
Bot. name: Miliusa tomentosa

Tree was almost leafless when photographed.

Very good upload …

Annonacea of north Western Ghats (Maharashtra) – Miliusa tomentosa : Attachments (4). 6 posts by 5 authors.

Thanks to my mother for giving me a very expensive photography equipment at a very yound age and thanks to Shrikant Ingalhalikar who taught me the wonderful technique of photographing plants

Family: Annonaceae
Date: 27th December 2015
Place: Makalidurga, Bangalore District, Karnataka
Habit: Tree
Habitat: Scrub forest
Is this species Miliusa tomentosa (Roxb.) Sinclair or Miliusa velutina (Dunal) Hook.f. & Thomson?

Very good shots indeed

Some additional photographs including photos showing close up of the carpels and androecium. Attachments (4)

Wonderful !! Superb!!!

Tree id_190520_Bavdhan hill : 13 posts by 6 authors. 1 correct image.
Id please .. of a medium size tree, found At Bavdhan Hill (Pune, Maharashtra).
Fruits were seen, no flowers.

check again and post with clear information, what you sent pics both are individual sp., not belong to one sp. first pic. has a compound lea and the second one is a simple leaf what you sent Miliusa,

I don’t think Miliosa is reported from Pune. Please keep follow up to find the trimerous flowers. Take photographs of leaves and fruits clearly

It appears to be a member of Annonaceae, probably a Miliusa sp.

Supporting …

I guess it is close to Miliusa velutina (DC.) Hook.f. & Thomson with distribution in MP.

Euphorbiaceae ???

The green fruits and bark lead to Miliusa tomentosa

I guess the ID is correct
