Malvaceae Week: Sterculia Villosa ID (MW-AR17):
(ID confirmation reqd. Will write/ fill the plant desc later,.)

eflora discussion link on the same efi thread
Kallar river bed, Kallar forest, Ponmudi, Kerala
Dec 2008

Not familiar with this genus, but two things look unusual A few leaves seen in third photograph has entire leaves, whereas S. villosa has 5-lobed leaves. The fruits appear to be single, S. villosa generally has 5 follicles stellately arranged.
Could it be a species belonging to group with simple leaves and fewer follicles, sometimes reduced to one These fruits look similar to one I had photographed from California. I am uploading them separately.


Could this be Sterculia guttata ?


I was also tempted to call it S. guttata based on FBI, and with 1-4 follicles, but held back as I don’t have much knowledge of this genus.


I am familiar with the location. Sterculia guttata trees are usually found along the river bed there. So I assume the picture could be of Sterculia guttata.


Just checked the mail. Leaves are seen in photographs 2 & 3. If they belong to the same tree, then it is obviously Sterculia guttata.


yes look like S. guttata, pods turn orange-red in colour on maturity.


I too think that this is Sterculia guttata.
A common species of the genus Sterculia in Ponmudi- Bonacaud-Schendaruni area.


Got some more pictures of the same tree (Sterculiaceae guttata member) with leaves, trunk, fruits and a large water snake-probably a checkered keelback peeping out of the rock crevice under the tree root.
Tree large, trunk 3-5 meters, Bark white,
Leaves – ~Heart shaped, ~Ovate, ~acute, 12cms approx. Very few leaves here and there in the tree branches.
No flowers, 
Fruits- Hundreds, Approx 15 in a cluster.
Habitat: River side, near rocky bed
Family Sterculiaceae,
Kallar, Western ghats, Kerala

Affirmative for both – Sterculia guttata [Kukar, Goldhar] & Xenochropis piscator [the Checkered Keelback].

Request Tree ID 096 – Lalbagh, Bangalore – RA:
Is it Sterculia guttataSpotted Sterculia?


Sterculia indeed. I haven’t seen S.guttata but I think you are right as it doesn’t look like S.foetida or S.villosa either

Pl. find the attached file contain photo of Sterculia guttata flowering from NBNP garden. Anaikatti, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.


Please check whether this is S. balaghans.


I think … is right, it is Sterculia guttata Roxb. ex DC.
In S. balanghas leaves elliptic -oblong and base obtuse or rounded.
But in the posted image leaves show a oblong-ovate to obovate nature and more over base is subcordate with acuminate apex. It is the typical charcter of S. guttata


Affirmative. This is Sterculia guttata. My photographs for comparison are available at this link 


Looks like Sterculia guttata for me
