070311-PR-2 For ID -Chennai. This is a tall tree growing in a park at Chennai. It is closely surrounded by other trees.
– This is Alstonia macrophylla. One can see very good specimens in Nageswara Rao Park, Mylapore Chennai. – It is Alstonia macrophylla seen in Nageswara rao Park. It must have been pointed out to us by you, …, but there were so many specimens that were new to me that it must have escaped my attention. Btw, the Alstonia scholaris at the Agri-hort garden has not bloomed though I have been watching it the past year or so. The Pseudobombax ellipticum had just ONE fantastic pink flower about 5-6 inches wide at the top of a bare tree, last week. It was a stunning sight

Request for identification-E2 : 16 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1)- 2 Mb.
Kindly request you to identify with scientific name. This photo has been taken in East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya.
Picture not very clear.
Fagaceae? Quercus sp/ Castanopsis sp
OR Persea sp
If there are some other photos of this plant it may be of help.
Thank you very much. I will check and get back to you. Does not seem to match with any species so far in efi as per comparative images at Fagaceae & Persea
Can it be Alstonia macrophylla Wall. ex G.Don as per images herein or some similar species ?
No. it is not.
One one of the shoots I can see several buds. This may be some Persea spp as well. But the photo is not very focussed, so may not be possible to go much further..
But why pods look like that of Alstonia species?
Kindly compare the photographs of Alstonia macrophylola (attached herewith) taken by me and then decide.
Thanks, …, That is what I have also suggested.

I have not encountered this species personally. However, the basic leaf arrangement and the fruits have the looks of Alstonia scholaris. Therefore I would believe that it would be Alstonia sp. Some pictures of A. macrophylla on the internet also resemble these photos. It strongly suggests that the specimen is correctly identified.

Thanks for the feed back … But I go with … The fruit in case of Rauvolfia verticillata is a drupe whereas that of Holarrhena pubescens is a pair of divergent follicles that is evident in two of the uploaded images.

I have identified it as Alstonia macrophylla but it is labelled as Alphitonia excelsa. So need second opinion first what its not Alphitonia excela. seeds are described as such in Wikipedia – It bears small greenish white flowers in late autumn and early winter, followed by globular dark fruit around 1.5 cm (0.5 in) in diameter,[4] which contain two seeds
now for what it may be you think it is Alstonia macrophylla
he can tell you better
could you please share the picture of the current label here
Thanks … By see … photos in Wikipedia I am almost certain that it is Alstonia macrophylla, but would be great if he confirms! Thanks, …, At first glance to me also id is OK. I will also have closer look as and when time permits. Yes. You are right. It is Alstonia macrophylla

Kindly help me identified this tree whose fruits and leaves i have tried to capture. same attached. Where and were these images clicked? /species/a—l/a/apocynaceae/alstonia/alstonia-macrophylla The photos have been taken in Govardhan Eco Village. About 110 kms from Mumbai towards north in Palghar District. …, the leaves look exactly same as the URL you have provided. This I can say because I took close look at the leaves and even plucked one to compare it with another plant having similar looking leaf and leaf arrangement.
The fruits or the pods also look similar.
I did not witness the flowering on this tree, otherwise that should have sealed my doubt over its identification. Apocynaceae ?? Apocynum sp.??
