ID No.29062011 Syzygium for ID_3 :
Help to ID the sp. Date/Time-9/3/2011 This is Carallia brachiata (Rhizophoraceae), I think. How does a tree classified as a mangrove grow by itself in Assam? or is it by some one’s planting, ie by design? I think there is little chance to plant this species in this virgin forests. Another point is that it is freshwater mangrove. This sp is used as herbal medicine in Assam     Requesting id: (Mixed thread): 4 correct images as above.
these photos were taken in Jog falls, Shimoga district, karnataka on 18th Sept 2011. Yes it is Carallia brachiata (Lour.) Merr. (please note the spelling) of Rhizophoraceae family.
efloraindia: 191111 BRS181: Great catch. Though it is a mangrove plant it is observed in forests I suppose? Nice flowers. we saw the tree in the forest garden of Agumbe, but there were no flowers that time. Freshwater Mangrove is a tree growing up to 10 m tall. Branches are brown, corky.
Stipules are 1-2.5 cm.
Leaves carried on 1 cm long stalks are elliptic-obovate, oblanceolate, or rarely circular, 5-15 x 2-10 cm, papery to thinly leathery. Leaf base is wedge-shaped, margin entire or toothed, tip pointed or shortly tapering. Inflorescences are 1-6 cm, often resinous, usually shining from secreted resin.

pictures of Carallia brachiata : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2) Lovely pics …, very beautiful !! I need id assistance for following images belonging to one species. It is Carallia brachiata (Rhizophoraceae member) the only species found in non mangrove land, others occurs in mangrove forests. The flowers are sticky.
Kindly identify this tree at the Botanical Garden, Kolkatta photographed in Oct, 2016.
No figs sighted but trunk seems very distinctive. Pl. send more images of leaves & foliage. it looks like Carallia bractiata…… Certainly the roots and new leaves in the 2nd picture look like Carallia brachiata. Thanks all. I am out of station right now and will look thru my pictures to see if i have better ones of the leaves when i get back home. I was wondering if anyone could share pictures of Carallia brachiata. I just learned that this member of the Rhizophoraceae is known as the freshwater mangrove, and I’m having difficulty finding more information.
Does it have prop roots or viviparous seeds? Can it survive significant inundation? Are there any other members of this genus with these features?
Any help would be most appreciated. Some of my pictures of Carallia brachiata at flickr … you may go ahead to download any of the pictures for your use.
Thank you for sharing! These are really nice pictures.
Do you know why this species is called the freshwater mangrove? No, I do not know the reason why this plant is way from mangroves, yet has some aspect(s) which led to getting included in a genus – almost all of whose species have their habitat in mangroves.
Thinking otherwise, this plant far from mangroves, seems to have no connection with “freshwater” either. I was wondering if anyone had information on the physiology or morphology of Carallia brachiata (Rhizophoraceae). I’ve heard it called the freshwater mangrove, and I was wondering what mangrove-like adaptations it has (salt tolerance, inundation tolerance, viviparous propagules, prop roots, etc.) Also, are there other members of this genus with similar adaptations?
