Flowers and Trees from Uttarakhand-ID requested_DS24052011_SN1: These are the fruit of Sapium insigne locally called Chicada. By the way what is the altitude of Kakragad, as this species rarely ascend higher than 1800 m. Yes the tree flowers in January-February when the tree is leafless, and the fruits are expected by April. This may not happen in Rudraprayag area where flowering season does not start before April-May. Sapium insigne lo of now in fruiting these days just ton way to Mussorie. Its there on the lower elevations of Rudraprayag on the road side. Thank you Prof…. Please check this link for some of my photographs of this: My earlier mistake (wild guess) helped solve the identity of this tree very common in Uttaranchal in Naintal, Almora, Ranikhet, kausani area. I was just about to upload it for ID, when I thought about Aesculus indica (which I know very well), I had photographed in Ranikhet area, and search in our group led me to this thread. Here’s a Wedge-tailed Pigeon who I saw feeding (or rather gorging) on the fruit of Sapium insigne near about the same place, same time.

EUPHORBIACEAE FORTNIGHT: Falconeria insignis from Uttarakhand_DSR_09: Attachments (3). 3 posts by 3 authors. It is Falconeria insigne. One of the several confusions of the Plant List Kashmiria himalaica (Hook. f.) D.Y. Hong is an accepted name but does not cite any synonym, not even the basionym It considers Falconeria himalaica Hook.f. to be synonym of Wulfenia himalaica (Hook.f.) Pennell is an unresolved name but considers latter as unresolved name. Unfortunately unresolved names is a category which has greatly dented the reputation of The Plant List.

After … identified it as Falconeria insignis, I was reminded of that sighting, till then I had not made the connection. yes, now that i have revisited your earlier post, the terminal branches are indeed unique. that helps us perhaps start a page of trees with unique branching pattern. comes to mind right off the bat is.

There is one name karuppu-chulai (ref: ENVIS – FRLHT) … also found as: karuppucculai / karuppu-chutai … elsewhere on web. About a decade back, when I compiled names for this plane, I typed the name as கருப்புசுளை … but it looks like it is incorrectly spelt. Please help know if any of these: karuppu-chulai / karuppucculai / karuppu-chutai are valid. Will be glad to get it in native script. Another name is சக்கரைகள்ளி sakkaraikalli … with help from Badri Narayanan Thiagarajan ji in facebook. I agree with the Tamil scripts provided by Badri ji : சக்கரைகள்ளி (Sakkaraikalli) and கருப்பு சூலை (karuppu-chulai) although I am not sure of the latter. However, I noticed that the name ‘karuppu chutai’ is more commonly used than ‘karuppu chulai’. The name “கருப்புச்சுடை (karupusuttai)” is listed in the webpage https://owshadham.blogspot.com/2015/05/mooligai-peyargal-8.html.
