you are right. These photographs look like Lepisanthes senegalensis<\/b>, <\/i>syn. Aphania danura.<\/i><\/p>\n

Lepisanthes senegalensis<\/em> ?<\/p>\n

Please compare it with Lepisanthes rubiginosa<\/em> (Roxb.) Leenh. – the iconotype is \u00a0Roxb., Pl. Coromandel, 1: t. 62. 1796.<\/p>\n

\n

I did not see this specimen previously. So, I don’t know the name of this specimen. Sorry about it.\u00a0 I think, this specimen is not belongs to the family Sapindaceae<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Its a species of lepisanthes<\/em> (sapindaceae<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
I think this may be Aphania rubra<\/i> (Sapindaceae). In Lepisanthes rubiginosa<\/i>, the fruit are look like this but the leaf and the flower is different from this plant. Is it possible to get the plant specimen with some flowers and fruit?<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
But according to The Plant List Aphania<\/em> genus is now treated under Lepisanthes<\/em> and Allophyllus<\/em>. Aphania rubra<\/em>\u00a0currently<\/span> is a synonym of\u00a0Lepisanthes<\/i>\u00a0senegalensis<\/i>\u00a0(Poir.) Leenh<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

This is not the time for flowering for the plant. We will have to wait for next year. I don’t have better image.<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In Santalum album<\/i> number of tepals are four where as in my specimen number is five. Moreover,there is a difference in stamen morphology also. So, it may not be the Santalum album<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes I guessed so.<\/p>\n

\n

Not Santalum album<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Very interesting upload, not confident, but can we compare it with Lepisanthes fruticosa<\/em>?…<\/p>\n

\n

I think this is Lepisanthes<\/em> sp. Sapindaceae<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, It is Lepisanthes<\/em> sp. L. erecta, L. senegalensis and L. tetraphyla <\/i>are three spp.\u00a0 reported from Assam.<\/p>\n
