Plz id this small tree: pa28 – 17nov2012:
Plz id this small tree from Matheran region. I did not see flowers but some fruits were there. Sorry the photos are not very good as I was having some problem with the focus of my camera in early morning low light.


Xantolis tomentosa, syn. Sideroxylon tomentosum, Sapotaceae family.

Plz id this plant: pa37 – 20nov2012:
Plz id this small tree from Matheran region. The leaves, twigs and spines were covered with fine hair.


This looks like Kate- Kubhal [Xantholis tomentosa / Sideroxylon tomentosa].


Thanks again … I have a question, does this tree also come without spines? I had posted some photos few days back and it was also identified as Xantolis tomentosa but that tree did not have any spines. Here is the link


When plants are young {as also in the case of Asana [Bridelia sp.] & Silk Cotton [Bombax sp.]} they are armed to act as a deterrent to grazing animals. As it grows older and larger it tends to loose its spines.


Thank you Neil sir for the explanetion. I am very grateful for all that I am learning from you.

Fwd: [efloraofindia:217375] Tree for ID TC1 : 10 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2)
Tree, ca 6 m high, from Concan, Maharashtra for identification please. The fruits are said to be eaten by birds.

Please send description of the plant of which photographs are sent for identification.
Also check the fruit if it has aril with nut or only single seeded (drupaceous).


It seems to be Sideroxylon of Sapotaceae of single seeded without aril.


Many thanks to … for giving the right direction.


Pattern of leaves and kind of berries with long acute tip resembles a member of Sapotaceae family, There are seven genera in Maharashtra for Sapotaceae in wild. Images depict Madhuca longifolia var. latifolia (Roxb.) A.Chev. (not longifolia because leaves are shortly acuminate at apex)


Can it be Limonia acidissima?


I think it is Sideroxylon tomentosum

The tree look like Xantolis tomentosa and the pink flowered plant is a parasite in the Loranthaceae family.

Any other images ? Any idea about the family or any other details or clues?

Can somebody give some clue to the id of this ?


Sapotaceae member-only, it could be Chrysophyllum sp. and check locally with Sapotaceae


The following spp. are recorded in the family of Sapotaceae in my state :-Mimusops elengi, Palaquium polyanthum, Pouteria grandifolia, Sarcosperma arboreum, Xantolis hookeri, Xantolis tomentosa


Check with Palaquim …, or can you provide the key of Sapotaceae which you have locally


Attachments (1)


Thanks, …
Based on the keys and details in the images, I think it should be Xantolis hookeri as per GBIF.
Matches with this specimen.

It could be a form of Xantolis tomentosa


Thanks, …, for the id.
I also agree with you as per GBIF Specimens:
