Xantolis tomentosa Syn. Sideroxylon tomentosum Family :Sapotaceae Observed in Tamhini ghat On way to Phansad Plz id this small tree: pa28 – 17nov2012: Xantolis tomentosa, syn. Sideroxylon tomentosum, Sapotaceae family. Plz id this plant: pa37 – 20nov2012: 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.

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. 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 Family: Sapotaceae
