.       Plant for ID SMP1 23/2/2011: – I am making a wild guess about the Family, i may be totally wrong…… “Loganiaceae“.. – I was waiting for someone to pick the thread from your guess Loganiaceae. Yes, you seem to be right once more, keep it up. How did you guess? / For ID 24520121 Evergreen Shola tree: Along the trek route, i could see this tree in the Shola in front..
Found along with Gordonia obtusa. id help appreciated
Could that be Fagraea ceilanica of Loganiaceae family Checked in my Field Guide … It is most probably Fagraea ceilanica 🙂 thanks what is shola? Shola forests are unique montane vegetation occupying temperate habitats in tropical latitude and are communities restricted to valley and depressions especially along the folds of hills.. High altitude Thank you, so do I understand it correctly that they can be any vegetation or does it consist of any particular tree/plant variety…??
Please identify this plant details of which are as follows:
Date :18.08.12
Location :Meghamalai sanctuary
Altitude : approx 3000 ft Habitat :wild Habit :tree
Height :30 ft
Leaves :ovate Flowers :regular Fruits :,? gall only seen Cordia species? Any Rubiaceae? Fagrea sp: Loganicaeae yes, the tree matches with the one in biotik Thanks a lot for solving the id. Is it Fagraea ceilanica or ceylanica? I believe Fagraea ceilanica Thub. is the correct name. This is an epiphytic climber and not a tree. Usually the host tree is Terminallia crenulata It is Fagraea but , I feel it is a different species. may be F. obovata? I am not sure whether this is a synonym for F. ceilanica
