Encountering this young Sterculia villosa, ascending from within a verdant copse of Memecylon umbellatum, was one of the most enthralling moments of my wanderings in Madh. This tree is leafless in flower and the pendant flower clusters projecting from the ends of the bare branches make for an unforgettable sight in the wild. This particular tree was being enveloped by Celastrus paniculatus and the flowering was relatively sparse.
Have attached some pictures of the papery outer bark and the flowers.

Photographed on Madh Hill (North Mumbai) in February 2015.


spectacular, again

would celastrus become too burdensome and kill it?

I always wonder , the Sterculia trees so big, Fruits quite large. But the flowers are so small.


Yes … All flowers of Sterculias are very beutiful. They are really artistic in geometry; pentamerous symmetry; texture; colours…..what else can I say. You may add many things to this.

Location: Makunda Christian Hospital campus, Karimganj District, Assam

They are the seeds of a species of Sterculia possibly Sterculia villosa.


Indeed Sterculia villosa Roxburgh ex Sm.


May be Sterculia villosa but authority should be only Roxburgh and .. Sterculia villosa Roxburgh ex Smith is should be placed as a heterotypic synonym.


Perhaps I am not able to comprehend. The name Sterculia villosa was first proposed by Roxburgh in Hort. Bengal. 50. 1814, but is not accepted as it is nom. nud., the name having become legitimate after description was provided by Smith in Cycl. (Rees) 34: Sterculia no. 16. 1816, as such the name becomes S. villosa Roxburgh ex Sm with official date of publication as 1816.
Roxburgh evidently published detailed description only in 1832 in Fl. Ind. (Roxburgh) 3: 153 (-154). 1832 [Oct-Dec 1832]. I wonder then how Sterculia villosa Roxburgh, 1832 get precedence over Sterculia villosa Roxburgh ex Sm, 1816.

QUERY :: udal, local name of Sterculia villosa in n e India:  Most of the references has udal – local name for Sterculia villosa, in much of north-eastern India including Bengal.
Please provide me the name in Bengali script.

Chanced upon this post, looked into Bengal Plants by David Prain, p 274., and found there is no Bengali name for this plant. I copy the other vernacular names below :-
Sterculia villosa Roxb. = Hind. UDAL; Santal GANGHER; Kol. SISI, PIRONJA.

Neither there is any Bengali name in the AN ENGLISH INDEX TO THE PLANTS OF INDIA by H. Piddington.


After reading your observations, I referred The Useful Plants of India (NISCAIR) to find out if there is any mention of a name for this plant in Bengali … none.


I am afraid there is any eBook of The Useful Plants of India (published by NISCAIR). It is available only in bookstores.


Yes, …, now i see that it is from another pub.-http://archive.org/details/usefulplantsind01drurgoog


Ah, many thanks … this online reference is a fantastic treasure.

S.urens Roxb S,guttata Roxb Hort. beng 1814 S.colorata Roxb, ; S,companulata Wall are other native trees near Batteryhill, some s.guttata seeds eaten by monkeys and man. All tehse are introduced to Cal gdn. Lal Bgh Gdn lists 8 species except S,villosa. Dr Mari Gowda late director and First Indian taxonomist has given local names. Except S.urens and alata, s.colorata in Cor. pls. others are in posthumous publ. after 1815.ExSm ex wall. etc and Carey as editors which was corrected by CBClarke1872 Roxb jr

I have displayed these native trees as 4X2 ft blow ups in Min Env at Bikaner House during Indira as PM. As. S.guttata fls now anyone can get good images in Cal now close to largepalm house.
Without knowledge of original habitats for native sp we should not copy and write revisionary accts including myself on Michelias in Makumforest nr Digboi..fr santapau spent mn yyrs in Hilltpat Khandala and just enumerated his taxa with critical notes for his Ph.d. of London. Henceit is criticality which is more imp than bulk copying. Dr S;k.vaugh my senior did work on AP state but did not get time to publish at all as he joined Sandoz immediately. and retiring in Mahyco. Sterculia trees are genetic resources like Gzarcinia and som one take up work in sahyadri range

Request for ID- 13022011RA1: Rerquest ID of this Sterculia sp. seen at Rani Baug on 6 Feb. 2011. It is supposed to be a South Indian species.


Sterculia villosa


– Thanks ., but no this is not S. villosa as … was present at the walk and said this is another species.


– Its definitely Sterculia villosa Roxb. ex DC.


Thanks … Sir had an explanation for this being different sp. but will need to check this again.


– The flowers look close to those I had seen and posted few days back from Karnala. Of course … sir always has something more. Will await for the response.


– 100 % it is Sterculia villosa.


Yes … Just spoke to Sir, only one specimen is available in the Xavier’s herbarium. Id will be known soon. I am posting separately the Sterculia villosa seen very close to the tree under question at Rani Baug. One can see the bark difference and the typical flower pattern.


It appears to be Sterculia villosa


I agree with you.

Request for identification of tree.
Date: 22nd June 2020
Time: 1110 hrs
Location- Eco-park, Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh
Habitat- Wild, on a hilly slope

Brassaiopsis hainla (Buch.-Ham.) Seem. ??


Maybe. But it does not have distribution in the area as per POWO and Checklist of Nepal.

Was it planted?


Saroj sir, does that species grow up to be a large tree like this? I couldn’t find a similar picture of such a form for this species, online. …, this was wild (atleast, looked like it), and there were several of them together forming a small patch of the same tree.


It can grow upto 15 m. in height !


Ok, thanks.


Sterculia villosa?


Yes, appears quite close as per images at Sterculia villosa


So, this is Sterculia villosa for sure?


To me it is. Photos are clear. Distribution is matching, as well as the details you had given about several trees growing together.


.


please id.. i have seen this one in Yamuna valley . but here in Tehri Garhwal i have found only in seedling stage. please id. if possible.: 1 image.


There seem to be two possibilities..

Acer sp. or Sterculia sp. but conclusion is difficult…


Sterculia villosa


Yes I too agree with Sterculia villosa


I am also in the favour of family sterculaceae..
