Premna for ID :: Devgad, Konkan, May 2017 :: ARKMAY03 : 5 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (7)

This tree was spotted by a salt water creek in Devgad, Konkan, MH in May 2017.
The flowers were fragrant (a mild balm like smell), the leaves too had a slight smell, but pleasing. It was identified as Premna latifolia in the facebook group.
Please confirm.

The images are of Premna serratifolia. The leaves are very variable.

– It  looks like  Premna species.  One has to check the characters ( leaves, flowers etc.) to arrive at the species.  What is ithe colour of the flowers. Whitish, greenish or greenish white flowers? What type of  drupe : globose, sub globose or abovoid?

---

-It is a species of Premna. Most likely P. tomentosa!!

---

-The fruits are spherical like small marbles. There were no flowers when I managed to photograph the tree.
The only pic I was able to view on the net was one of Premna serratiofolia and the fruit matched but not the leaves.

Agree with …

---

thank you all for the reply, i have a doubt does it smell bad just by touching it. may be like toxic.

---

The crushed leaves of Premna serratifolia stink for sure. In several sources, the smell of the crushed leaves has been compared to that of cat’s urine. I’ve come across a specimen that emits a foul odour in close proximity, no touch involved.

---

thank you sir i hope this is that specimen

Thanks, … To me appears more close to images at Premna serratifolia rather than those at Premna corymbosa

---

Thanks … Seems correct.

Please inform location and flowering season/fruiting season of the plant you posted if possible. Do local people call it Agnimantha? Please provide link regarding the plant you posted if possible.
Please provide correct botanical name of the plant which i have posted if possible.

---

Thanks … Getting confused because of etymological meaing as-

The pictures in  /species/a—l/l/lamiaceae/premna/premna-serratifolia  shows leaves which are having smooth edges.

Can we get kind of information why is it called Serratifolia, and in which context we say it as Serratifolia? Sorry for the trouble. Just trying to understand context.

Or after drying, these leaves are very hard or something? Because it is called Agnimantha, must be something about it.
Searched on web, but not getting answer.

You are correct about the epithet: sair-rat-ih-FOH-lee-uh or ser-at-ih-FOH-lee-uh — margins of foliage are toothed like a saw … Dave’s Botanary
About अग्निमन्थः … m. (न्थः) A small tree, (Premna spinosa.) E. अग्नि and मन्थ chur- ning, because fire is produced by friction of two pieces of its wood … विकिशब्दकोशः

Your link

had all the answers.

Please forgive as did not realize that there are multiple threads archived in thelink with various premna species identification confirmation.

I did see first one only of latifolia and repeated the question again, as did not realized how the archived system is.
This issue is over.

This is not Cordia. I had visited this plant today. My friend there pointed out that the plant looks like a scandent climbing shrub, and suggested Premna.
Will post pictures here soon.

To me looks closer to images at Premna serratifolia L.

Thanks, …, for the id.
To me also appear close to images at Premna serratifolia L. as per comparative images at Premna
