Engelhardtia spicata_23102011_RKC01: We have a few individuals of this species in Morni Hills, when we visited the area earlier, it was not in flowering stage. Hoping to find it blooming some day. Yes I know … Delhi University Prof. … had specially asked me to look for this one, but we could not find any in flowering. We too have this species in Sikkim; even in Gangtok itself.
Engelhardtia spicata_Assam (RD 23102011_a): Why do people scrape off/slice off bark… as in your 2nd pic above ?? Like other morphological characters, trees could also be identified by their bark. If you touch the bark of the tree and try to feel the texture of the bark, you can experience its texture. It could be uniform, spiny, flaky, smooth or ridged. This method could be useful in case of trees that have reached their age of maturity. The colour of the bark can also be a parameter in identifying trees. In that case, you need to peel off a strip of bark. For instance, if you try to peel the bark of this sp, it breaks down into small strips in the horizontal direction and exposes its pinkish-white layers underneath. a SMALL portion of bark removed generally to observe if any exudate present or not, if present what type and nature. I didn’t say the inner bark helps in ID (it may be sometimes)…but it is helpful in describing the plant/bark…as in the case of Terminalia arjuna (pl see the picture), the inner bark is reddish, and one can also get to see/measure the thickness of bark when sliced.
unusual …
