Here is my test posting via Google doc.
The plant species is not yet identified.
The plant is a small woody shrub grow in our farm.
Flowering now.
This is only the picture of male inflorescence.
Male and female inflorescence born on different individuals and unfortunately I couldn’t find the female individual. As I get the same I shall post it.

I think it is Antidesma montanum Blume Biotik

Antidesma menasu is now considered to be a synonym of the widespread (Indo-Malesia) and highly variable Antidesma montanum Blume,
This is one of the most beautiful photos of the species that I have seen in recent times.

This appears to be the variable Indo-Malesian species Antdesma montanum Blume.



Bhagamandala – Thalacauvery Road Karnataka
Date: 22 FEB 2017 … Altitude range: ~ 907 – 1122 m (2976 – 3683 ft) asl

Antidesma montanum Blume var. montanum … (family: Phyllanthaceae ~ Euphorbiaceae)


I am confused.  Am I seeing 2 stamens in some flowers on enlargement?  And 3 stamens in some other cases? If yes, then we have to wait for seeing the female flowers and/or fruits. There is only one species which is having 2 stamens, i.e. A. acidum or occasionally/rarely more  than two.  In case of A. montanum the stamens will always be more than two.


Thanks … for this validation. Thanks for clarity about 2 vs always more than 2 stamens. I am sending you the original photos for your perusal in separate mail. I went through focussed areas in those pics. I have feeling that the stamens are 3 in number, in all cases. Some instances the third stamen being in the hind side, is eclipsed – often a little bit showing. Yet you may take a look from your angle.


Thank you for kindly sending the high resolution images separately.  The stamens are indeed always 3 in number.  So, this is Antidesma montanum Blume var. montanum.


To my benefit, … Thank you very very much for affirming the ID.

Please delete the synonym Antidesma alexiterium  C.Presl.
The name is indeed mentioned by C.Presl. in Epimel. Bot. and all search engines are showing this name on the authority of C.Presl but look at the following link: Here it is clearly attributed to the authority of Linnaeus.  Hence A. alexiteria sensu C.Presl (as alexiterium), non L. attributed to the Philippines is a misidentification for Antidesma montanum Blume var. montanum.  Please delete this synonym.
Antidesma alexiteria L. is the type species of the genus Antidesma.
Here is the link: Biodiversity Library
Here are further common names for Antidesma montanum:

OK … Thank you very much for the quick correction. Will revise my notes tomorrow. Please let me know the distribution of A. alexiteria L. the type species in states of India.

Antidesma alexiteria is found in Kerala,  Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.


Thank you very much dear …; I have done the corrections by deleting the synonym in flickr as well as Names of Plants in India site.

Antidesma montanum ?


Could you check with the stated id?



It seems Antidesma montanum.
The pictures were taken this season from the same single tree for the whole area. This is the high altitude place of Yelagiri hills. Must have been richest place of Biodiversity. But, now full covered with Lantana camara because of logging and grazing. If its A montanum its a new record for the Vellore district.


It resembles, but check with local floras


Thanks, … Yes, Antidesma montanum Blume is possible as per comparative images at Antidesma


Unable to say if it is Antidesma bunius or A.montanum for the inflorescence is not clear


Yes …, Your identification is correct.

For me also it is Antidesma species. Superb pictures of Flowers and buds ! Fruits are eduble.
Nevertheless, need better photographs of the foliage/ leaves for species ID.


Antidesma bunius (L.) Spreng ??


Yes, it is, …
…, I found red (only one plant) green (many) and mixed red and green (only one plant) flower bunches of plants. Except colour, other properties are same. Fruit plant is not bloom. Is it green to red or plant variables? No red bunches in green and vise versa. I am happy to sharing more images.

If the leaves beneath and inflorescence axis are markedly pubescent then Antidesma roxburghii; if glabrous then A. montanum.


Going by keys as given by …, it appears to be Antidesma montanum Blume
Looks different from images at Antidesma roxburghii Wall.

Antidesma montanum.

Pl check for Alpinia malaccensis/nigra.


Alpinia is from Zingiberaceae ….
Can the family have such fruits and the fruits are attached to woody stem
I don’t think ginger family can have such characters.


Yes it can. But I have no idea about the id.


Pl follow this link to get an idea about the Alpinia fruits:
http://biodiversity.sci.kagoshima-u.ac.jp/dscn1451s.jpg


I have one problem with this identification. These fruits seem to have been developed from a superior ovary whereas Alpinia fruits developing from an inferior ovary would have large scar at the tip. This is also clear from your link and other species of the genus:
http://www.gardenworldimages.com/Details.False
http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/blue_fruited_ginger.htm


I think it is Antidesma sp. (Euphorbiaceae). May be A. montanum or acidum


Yes, appears close to images at Antidesma montanum Blume
