Please help me identifying this edible Ziziphus tree. The fruits are devoured by birds and its eaten by humans too, owing to fleshy-crunchy mesocarp. Could this be Z.jujube?
Fruit: 5 cm long
Habitat: roadside
Alt.: 310 m asl
Date: 21.01.2018
Place: Jammu (outskirts, rural), J & K
Is there a possibility of this being a variety of Z.mauritiana? because the larger leaves and oblong fruits make me think that this is not the common Z.mauritiana.
Quite possible. Looks matching as suggested.
Now accepted name is Ziziphus jujuba Mill.
Correct name of our plant is Zizyphus mauritiana Lam., Encycl. 3: 319 319 . (Syn. Ziziphus jujuba Lam. (non Mill, 1768));
Please one time check the plant list now accepted name is Ziziphus jujuba Mill Pl. check discussions at Tree ID for SeasonWatch needed..One of two species sending.. The same tree in the same location with flowers.

Jujube or Indian date (Indian plum) tree is a larval food plant of some Pierrot (Tarucus sp.) butterflies. Found some butterflies today basking under such a jujube tree. Species : Plant : Ziziphus ziziphus (syn. Ziziphus jujuba) Bengali name : KUL(KOOL) GACH Butterfly : Tarucus sp. (possibly Tarucus extricatus) Date : 21/03/2012, 9.45 a.m. Place : Gobra (Hooghly), WB Ziziphus ziziphus can’t be a correct name as it is a tautonym. The Indian Ber is more commonly named as Z. mauritiana Lamk. (syn: Z. jujuba (L.) Lamk.) distinct from Z. jujuba Mill. Thank you Sir for throwing lights on the correct scientific name of the Indian Ber tree. I am wondering if we have the Z. jujuba Mill. here. How do i differentiate one from the other? Z. jujuba Mill. is Chinese jujube or Chinese date, mainly a temperate species, with leaves glabrous beneath, longer stipular spine up to 3 cm long, petiole shorter than 5 mm and glabrous, fruit ovoid or oblong 2-3.5 cm long

These are the fruits you get in the Indian market too.
Although the farm is here, it belongs to an Indian. So all the tree planted are those found in India. efi site link: Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. (Syn. Ziziphus jujuba Lam. (non Mill, 1768)); Looks like Zizyphus mauritiana Thanks for a possible id.
In Maharashtra, I have seen these sold near toll nakas, when a vehicle stops to pay toll. Also in the fruit & vegetable market. While compiling names of Ipomoea mauritiana Jacq. and Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. Ipomoea mauritiana has:
1) one name – Mauritanian convolvulus … NPGS / GRIN 2) its origins … uncertain, but it has been recorded in West Africa, including in Gambia and the riparian forests of Benin … Wikipedia
Both Gambia and Benin are neighbouring countries of Mauritania.
BUT when looking up for Ziziphus mauritiana, do not find it pertaining in any way to Mauritania (nor Mauritius).
Can someone help me ? By the way, this query arose on finding some of the sites and reference books relating mauritiana to Mauritius. Mauritius was under French rule during the period when this fruit was described by Lamarck who was also French. Hence Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. should be based on Mauritius. … many thanks your thoughts; it helped me know mauritiana is based on Mauritius. Ipomoea mauritiana has following names:
1) Mauritanian convolvulus … NPGS / GRIN 2) Mauritiana Morning Glory … Plantilus … though Mauritiana here is just the epithet, not name of any place in world. however,
Type Specimens T: ; ; Cultivated in Vienna from material collected in Mauritius … Tropicos Thanks once again … taking it as based on Mauritius. Sir Lamarck didnt colelct all plants from wild. People colelcted from different parts of the world and were transfered to Paris during French rule. Same as Linnaeus who never came to India but described plants from India. And same as Jacquin. Dont mind my collect please. I am trying to find the second protologue !!! cant find anywhere……. indeed some authors described plants far from where the plants were found. It actually doesnt state anything from where it went to Lamarck. Interestingly the first sentence says, Isle of France…. I imagine which Island it point towards!!! Many many thanks dear …
At least mention of “isle” of France. While Mauritius is, Mauritania is not. I hope we have similar clarification for Ipomoea mauritiana.
You may dig only during leisure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritius WOW …. Excellent search. Thank you very very much. Thus epithet of Ziziphus mauritiana is very well confirmed to be based on Mauritius.
A check on epithet of Ipomoea mauritiana to have some relation to Mauritius would be fantastic. Please help at your leisure. It is interesting to read the discussions. Some unknown facts emerge…. Have attached a relevant paper by the French botanist Louis Bouton (1799 – 1878) who worked extensively in Mauritius. It was published in William Jackson Hooker’s Journal of Botany, vol. I, in 1834. In his concluding remarks on the last page, he inferred that the name mauritiana is incorrect because no plant of the genus Ziziphus is indigenous to Mauritius. Thanks for sharing the article. Supporting to … on the issue of specific epithet. Some times, it make no sense, as in the case of Thunbergia frangrans (it doesnt has fragrant flowers). Mauritiana also one of such mistakes!! Thanks … for adding more clarifications to this query.
Hoping we get to know how the epithet fits in case of Ipomoea mauritiana whose origin / nativity is obscure (ref: Flora of China) … note in Wikipedia says: Its origins are uncertain, but it has been recorded in West Africa, including in Gambia and the riparian forests of Benin.

Hooghly – two Ziziphus plants : Attachments (12). 3 posts by 2 authors.
I upload two sets of photograph in this thread. All recorded on 25/09/13, at the same place. Two plants are growing 2 ft apart. One, in the first set, prefixed as “plant1” (5 pics in total) is about 2 ft high and the other, “plant2″ (7 pics) is about 7 ft high.
I think both the plants are same, the younger one having glabrous leaves on both side, and the older one having pubescence on underside.
Key, based on petiole length and spine length, in efi thread and in http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=135333#KEY-1-6 suggests this is Z. jujulba Mill. But these flowers have 10-lobed disk (pic – plant2__P1060498).

Fruit and Vegetable Week- Ziziphus mauritiana from Panipat:
Ziziphus mauritiana from IOCL Refinery area Panipat NATIVE, WILD, CULTIVATED :: Rhamnaceae (buckthorn family) » Zizyphus mauritiana … also spelt: Zizyphus -This is called “topa Kul” in Bengali found mainly growing in the spring months in Bengal. -If you notice properly in the first pic of …, you can see that in one flower all anthers are pointed upwards where as in othertwo the anthers are pointed downwards and backwards.There are phenomena in plants called HERKOGAMY [Herkogamy is a commonstrategy employed by hermaphroditic angiosperms to reduce sexual
interference between male (anthers) and female (stigma) function. ] and DICHOGAMY [Dichogamy, also known as sequential hermaphrodism, is the separation in time of gender expression in a hermaphroditic organism. In the context of the plant sexuality of flowering plants (angiosperms), there are two forms of dichogamy: protogyny—female function precedes male function—and protandry— male function precedes female function.] . Zizyphus had protoandrous flowers, i.e., androecium develops to maturity first and after sometime gynoecium attains maturity, in simple words, there is a distinct delineation of male and female phase in the same flower as both anther and stigma dont mature at one time hence inhibiting self pollination.
In the flower above, the anthers mature first (during erect position as in the picture, which has white pollens on the anthers] but stigma remains immature, hence the insect will come collect pollens from the erect anthers but pollens wont be able to get deposited on the stigma of the same plant because the stigma will not be mature enough to let the pollen stick to it. Hence if and when the insect will visit another flower which has mature stigma, pollen gets deposited. In other words, pollen from one flower is avoided from getting deposited on the stigma of the same flower.
There are some other terms here which are useful: Geitonogamy: In this pollination of a flower with the pollen from another flower on the same flowering plant.
Xenogamy: In this pollination of a flower takes place by pollens from a different plant . Read following links for more knowledge: – I am sending some photos of the tree, flower and unripe fruits. Place : Dombivli

Tree ID for SeasonWatch needed..One of two species sending..: to me it look like Z. mauritiana It is Ziziphus mauritiana (= Z. jujuba) of Rhamnaceae family. Called as ‘ilandhai’ இலந்தை in Tamil. Ziziphus jujuba Mill is not synonym of Ziziphus mauritiana as per theplantlist.org But I meant Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. for which *Z. jujuba* (L.) Gaertn. is a synonym, as per GRIN. Here are some contrdictions in theplantlist and GRIN Does the plant has thorns? If the tree is unarmed (no thorns) then it is Z. glabrata and if the tree is armed then it is Z. mauritiana (Syn. jujuba). ( We have to clarify the contradiction on the synonym). I couldnt see thorns Let us not banish ‘The Plant List’ like that. It is for the first time we have complete list of all plant species with accepted names and synonyms. Agreed, there are still a large list of unresolved names and few controversial conclusions, but I think trained taxonomists can sort these out, and moreover, the list is being continuous improved and we may have improved version soon. I agree … that we shouldn’t completely depend on the plant list. But, as … pointed out that is a great effort and we cannot totally ignore the same. I had gone through what ever literature available in our library and got to know that Z. mauritiana has stipular thorns whereas, Z. glabrata doesn’t have hence I reached my conclusion.
To clarify, the contradiction on synonym I referred the same flora books from our library and most of the flora says Z. jujuba is a synonym of Z.mauritiana (Flowering Plants; Biodiversity Documentation for Kerala,
Sasidharan KFRI, 2004 & Flowering Plants of Kerala, India, Nayar, T S et al (TBGRI), 2006 ). I had mentioned the link for The plant list because that is the* *best source available online now ( I proudly make a statement that when we compile our data ours would be certainly become the best source of flora reference online). The plant list is compiling by a group of taxonomists who are working from leading botanical gardens in different parts of the world, including Kew Botanical Garden where herbaria from world around is kept and well maintained for a long time, I believe. Further, I beleive that they are updating the database with several new publications.
If we feel that there are contradictions or corrections let us write them.
Ziziphus jujuba is a classical example of later homonymy often cited in the text books.
The common Indian Ber plant, Chinese-date or Indian jujube was first described by Linnaeus under the name Rhamnus jujuba a species with leaves glabrous above and velvety beneath. Linnaeus also described Rhamnus ziziphus a species with leaves having glabrous under surface, As it turned out to be Millers (1768) gave the name Ziziphus jujuba for this species, so that when Gaertn. (1788) or Lamarck (1789) made the combination Ziziphus jujuba based on Rhamnus jujuba of Linnaeus, it turned out to be a later homonym of a different species Z. jujuba Mill. The name Z. jujuba (L.) Gaertn. or (L.) Lam. for Indian Jujube had to be rejected and next available name Z. mauritiana Lam., continued to be used for this species.
Agreed The Plant List does not list Z. mauritiana but lists both Rhamnus ziziphus L. as well as Rhamnus jujuba L. as synonyms of Ziziphus jujuba Mill., implying that latest (2010) taxonomic judgement treats the two species as synonyms. We may like it or not the whole World is going to follow this List, and I think we have no choice. Thank you sir for the detailed clarification. Zizyphus is perhaps biggest goof up by The Plant List. Ziziphus and Zizyphus are same genus with correct spellings as Ziziphus now. Perhaps we will have to write to them about these mistakes.
The bark of this tree has irregular cracks on almost black trunk. After seeing this mail I read the account of Zizyphus/Ziziphus jujuba. it says jujuba has irregular cracks on almos black trunk. I never said that ignore The Plant List, no doubt they are doing the best they can do for the biodiversity of the plants of the world. I like the statement by .. written few days back that get the correct knowledge Thanks Dear … for sharing yr views. What i understand is that there are two things, one is the plant list and second one is the regional flora. I would like to share one of my observation w.r.t. Ehretia sp..
While we were discussing Ehretia sp. posted by …, …. has mentioned that “Kew Plant List treats E. aspera as synonym of E. laevis“.
Where as “Flora of Bombay– T.Cooke” treats these 2 differently, Ehretia laevis as E.laevis Roxb. and Ehretia aspera as E.aspera Roxb. Flora has also provided the keys for both.
So my understanding is, along with plant list, regional floras should also be reffered and it becomes all the more necessay when we are reffereing to some endemic sp.
Early flowering and fruiting of Ziziphus mauritiana was noticed during Oct. and November, from NBNP Garden, Anaikatti, Coimbatore.
Usual season will be during summer (March to June). Any thought about the unusual flowering?
Is this Zizyphus mauritiana: . Affirmative. This is Bor / Ber [Z. mauritiana] often seen with Tussar Silk moth cocoons.

Yesterday i was on my way to school, as usual, left home at 8.30, boarded the train at 8.45, got down at the next station in order to catch another train that would take me 25 km more. As i was about to move to another platform, using a overbridge, i found a number of wild climbers beside the platform. And there was some other herbs, seedlings of shrubs, even trees too. This is monsoon, a few drops here and there, as you know rain is eluding us this year. But those few drops are enough to create excitements in seeds and saplings.
