¿ Bridelia sp. OR some Phyllanthaceae ? – indiantreepix | Google Groups : 9 posts by 8 authors. Attachments (12)

… sitting on this unidentified plant since SEP 2007 🙁

Place and dates are put within the image file names.

Looks to me some species of Bridelia, or yet broadly some species from Phyllanthaceae … or it could be some other you know.

How about Securinega virosa (Roxb. ex Willd.) Baill.
PHYLLANTHACEAE….

…, looks like a close match!

Doesnt the overall appearence, roughness of leaves, arrangement of flowers, give a look of Grievea sps??/

Please note that petals are absent in Securinega virosa. Here they can be clearly seen. Also the flowers have nearly 5 mm long pedicels. Here they are sessile.

it is Bridelia hamiltoniana Wall. ex. Hook.f., Fl. Brit. India 5: 271, 1886; Cooke, Fl. Pres. Bombay 3: 68, 1958 (Repr.); Singh et al, Fl. Mah. St.
2: 865, 2001; Almeida, Fl. Mah. 4: 263, 2003; Pradhan et al, Fl. SGNP 550, 2005.
Synonyms: B. montana (Roxb.) Willd. var. hamiltoniana (Wall. ex Hook.f.) Haines, Bot. Bihar & Orissa 1: 125, 1925.
Common name: Chicknee
common in and around forest areas in Mumbai.

It is common here at Alibag, and local marathi name is Chikankadi. Edible ones

Bridelia hamiltoniana is fairly common in and around Bombay as also in the Borivali N.P.

Forgot to mention this is one species of Bridelia which doesn’t have spines.
