T.<\/span> cuneata<\/span><\/b><\/i> has uneven stem with yellowish white bark. <\/span>T. elliptica<\/b><\/span><\/i> has tall cylindric stem with rough bark (crocodile back). <\/span>The key goes as below.
\nFruits 5-winged, spikes panicled
\n<\/span>-Wings of fruits hard, lines on wings curved upwards > T. cuneata
\n<\/span>–Wings of fruits papery, lines on wings straight > T. elliptica
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
If I may try and explain the differences:<\/div>\n
1. T.arjuna<\/b><\/i> \/ T.cuneata<\/i> [Arjun<\/b>] has a smooth, white bark flaking off in layers and resembles the bark of a Guava tree, <\/span>whereas T.elliptica<\/b><\/i> \/ T.tomentosa<\/i> \/ T.crenulata<\/i> [Ain<\/b>] has a dark brown deeply fissured bark which is often referred to as ‘Crocodile bark’.<\/span><\/div>\n
2. As … has pointed out the lines on the wings of the fruit are curved in T.arjuna<\/i><\/span> whereas they are straight in T.elliptica.
\n<\/i><\/span>3. T.arjuna<\/i> can stand waterlogging and hence is growing well in the middle of my stream<\/span>, <\/span>but have always encountered T.elliptica<\/i> far away from the banks of the stream.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n
\n

I doubt about its identity.<\/p>\n

\n

Let me clarify please. First, Terminalia crenulata<\/i> Roth is a synonym of T. elliptica<\/i> Willd. (Type: India Orientali, Herb. Cat. No.18943 (B-WILLD: microfiche!). The leaves in this species are opposite to subopposite and the fruits are 5-winged. Being in flowering stage, the fruits are not available and it is not clear whether the leaves are opposite. Hence … is requested to send us further photos from his vast collections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

do you have any more pics of the fruits?
\nThese look like T. elliptica<\/i> with striations on the wings at right angle to the centre.\u00a0 In T. arjuna<\/i> they slope distinctly downwards.<\/p>\n

\n

The fruits wings resemble to Termanilla elliptica<\/i> known as Indian laurel<\/b> needs further validation<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks … for correcting the ID. I always thought this was <\/span>T. arjuna<\/i>…<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

I was going through Terminalia elliptica<\/i> while doing some ‘house-keeping’ on my collection I noticed that the pattern (holes in leaves) of worm infestation (image – 2) of the leaves is also very similar.
\nThis infestation, whatever it is, is occurring in a large number of T. elliptica <\/i>trees, at least in Mumbai.
\nIt does not seem to destroy \/ harm the tree significantly.
\nMore information on the matter is solicited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So far as I know, Terminalia coriacea<\/i>, based on Pentaptera coriacea<\/i> is now considered to be a synonym of Terminalila elliptica<\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having seen the type of Terminalia elliptica<\/i> as well as T. coriacea<\/i>, it was easy for me to arrive at the conclusion.<\/p>\n

As promised, my photographs of the flowers of Ain<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you … for the ID and the photographs.
\nHowever, this has raised some doubts in my mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Does Ain<\/b> flower during June (monsoon)?<\/div>\n
If yes, then does it also fruit during May? <\/span><\/div>\n
I am attaching some photographs that I captured in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai during May 2013 – these look like the fruits in your photographs.
\n<\/span>Could you please confirm if the fruits are also that of Ain?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
the flowering Trees is Terminalia elliptica.
\n<\/i>however the 9 attachment post pertaining to fruits is not <\/span>Terminalia elliptica<\/i> fruits, it is <\/span>Combretum<\/i> species<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
Thanks for the replay … <\/span>Can they be <\/span>Ukshi<\/b> (<\/span>Calycopteris floribunda<\/i>)?<\/span>, they were a lot of Ukshi creepers around this place<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
In your second set of photographs, only photograhs 3,4 & 5 are of the fruit of Ain<\/b> [Terminalia elliptica<\/i>]. The remainder are of Piluki<\/b> [Combretum albidum<\/i>]. Please check this link<\/span><\/a> :<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Thank you … for the identification.
\nActually, pics 3, 4 and 5 are the ground pictures of exactly the same place where the <\/span>Piluki<\/b> fruits were swaying on the branches. I therefore deduced that the fruits fallen on the ground belonged to the same plant.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

The id of the tree(s) is settled but I notice that your very pertinent question has not been addressed:
\n1. Does Ain flower during June (monsoon)? – YES.<\/span>
\n2. If yes, then does it also fruit during May?
\nThe answer to 2. is that the fruits are seen in September-October, ripen slowly (Feb-March) and remain on the tree for some months thereafter.<\/span> This probably explains why you saw the fruits in May.
\nFollowed the ‘better late than never’ approach to your query.<\/p>\n

Pl. go through \u200e<\/i>Terminalia<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0(<\/span>\u200e\u200e\u200e<\/i>Combretaceae<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>) <\/span>page with images of species (mainly done by …) in efloraofindia. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice.
\n<\/span>Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I would like to mention that \u00a0the name <\/span>Pentaptera arjuna<\/i> Roxb. ex DC., i.e. the basionym of <\/span>Terminalia arjuna <\/b>(Roxb. ex DC.) Wight & Arn. has been recommended to be conserved against <\/span>Terminalia cuneata<\/i> Roth and <\/span>T. elliptica<\/i> Willd.\u00a0 However, proposal to conserve the name <\/span>Terminalia coriacea<\/i> (Roxb.) Wight & Arn. as a replacement name for <\/span>Terminalia ellliptica<\/i> sensu Gangopadhyay & Chalrabarty (J. Econ. Taxon. Bot. 21(2): 355. 1997), non Willd. 1806 has been rejected.\u00a0 Thus a later name has to be fixed for it such as <\/span>T. alata<\/i> Roth and <\/span>T. crenulata<\/i> Roth (both published in 1921 and again, like that of <\/span>T. cuneata<\/i> Roth, here also the type materials are not extant).\u00a0 I will come back to this thread as soon as this name is fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I am attaching herewith a sheet in which the correct names to be adopted for two species of Terminalia in India are elucidated for ready reference and correction of the efi page, if any.
\nNomenclature of two species of Terminalia:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The name <\/span>Terminalia arjuna<\/span> is valid (<\/span>Pentaptera arjuna <\/span>recommended to be conserved and will be done so next year in China) and \u00a0<\/span>T. elliptica<\/span> Willd. as well as \u00a0<\/span>T. cuneata<\/span> Roth, both being earlier names of the same plant have been recommended for rejection.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The name <\/span>Terminalia cuneata <\/span>sensu M.Gangop. & Chakrab., non Willd. 1806 will henceforth be called as <\/span>Terminalia alata <\/span>B.Heyne ex Roth, unless found otherwise.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nomenclature for the two species and their synonyms will be as follows:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

………………………………………………..<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Terminalia alata <\/span>B. Heyne ex Roth, Nov. Pl. Sp. 379. 1821.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The identification is correct but Terminalia elliptica<\/i>\u00a0Willd. is recently shown to be conspecific with T. arjuna <\/i>(Roxb. ex DC.) Wight & Arn. and a proposal was made to conserve the latter against T. elliptica <\/i>which has been recommended by the Nomenclature Committee on the Vascular plants and therefore this will be accepted this year (see the attached publication).
\nThe next available names are T. alata <\/i>B. Heyne ex Roth published in 1821 and T. crenulata <\/i>Roth, also published on the same date.\u00a0 Hence you may choose any of these two names as the valid name for the images posted here.

Well, Terminalia elliptica<\/i> Willd. is the earliest name available for the species (as above images), according to a recent publication (Chakrabarty & Kumar, 2017).<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks, … In simple language, I understand\u00a0you mean to say that Terminalia alata<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0& Terminalia arjuna<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0in efi are same & should be kept under T. arjuna <\/i>(Roxb. ex DC.) Wight & Arn.
\nPl. confirm.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thank you. The answer to your simple question is “No”.<\/div>\n
I have now checked the Terminalia<\/i> page on efi.<\/div>\n
\n

Just make a simple correction.\u00a0 Look at the subpage on Terminalia alata.<\/i> <\/b>Just replace this name by Terminalia elliptica<\/i> <\/b>Willd. and the images uploaded by … are fitting here.\u00a0 I suggest to insert an additional image of the excellent fruits uploaded in this present thread by …\u00a0 Finally remove and\u00a0place the name T. alata <\/i>as a synonym of T. elliptica. <\/i>The name T. arjuna<\/i> <\/b>will become a conserved name in a few months during the International Bot. Congress to be held in China.\u00a0The rejected names against this will be T. cuneata <\/i>Roth as well as T. elliptica <\/i>Willd.<\/span>\u00a0It does not matter\u00a0as\u00a0there is no constraint in using the name T. elliptica<\/b> <\/i>if\u00a0treated as a distinct species and this\u00a0is in fact the earliest name available\u00a0for T. alata, T. crenulata, T. coriacea<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>and T. tomentosa<\/i>, as per my opinion, and in India, we recognize only these two species under Sect. <\/span>Pentaptera.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

terminalia species, mm1 23 07 2011<\/span><\/a>: is this terminalia elliptica<\/i> or ian<\/b> as it is commonly known. the flowers were scented in the evening last week, goa<\/span>. it was growing commonly alongside roads and in forested patches<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Nice photographs !!! Definitely looks like Ain<\/b>. These are mine.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes Ain<\/b> (Terminalia crenulata<\/i>) from Combretaceae<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Terminalia elliptica, Terminalia crenulata, Terminalia tomentosa, Terminalia alata<\/i>…. are all the same species? Confusing me a lot!<\/p>\n

\n

Here are few photographs of Ain<\/b> (T. elliptica<\/i>). First two photographs are showing the glands behind the leaf<\/span>..<\/p>\n

\n

incidentally ain is used for making furniture and in the construction industry as rafters and door frames etc<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

These pictures reminded me of an another excellent shot that I saw in wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

he is not kidding you, i googled and found a paper in current science in 2004 with similar pic and a man filling a bog with potable water in Bandipur jungle…

\n

It was featured in leading news papers few years back. It was tested by Prof R Sukumars team in Mudumalai WLS.<\/span>
\nI have tried it once and got little water. But I realized that the act damages the tree to a great extant and I never repeated the same<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The glands shown in the pictures, is the typical sign of terminalia<\/i> species. In T.arjuna, T.chebula, T. bellerica, T. bialata<\/i> all are showing these glands.<\/p>\n

\n

It is requested to field botanists to clear doubts on identifying Terminalia crenulata, T alata T coriacea<\/i> and T paniculata<\/i> through leaves, bark and gland size – location variation (photos will be more beneficial).<\/p>\n

Is this Terminalia elliptica ?:<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 I photographed this wild tree at Mulshi<\/span>. I couldnt spot any flowers on it, just these fruits.
\nPlease identify.
\nHabitat -Wild

\n

I think the id is correct.<\/p>\n

\n
This is commonly called the “crocodile bark<\/b>“<\/div>\n
… Could you see the crocodile bark in mature stem (branches we cant see this). Please see details @
\nhttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Terminalia_elliptica<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Terminalia elliptica<\/i> is a very common tree in Mulshi<\/span>.
\nI visited last saturday and all these trees had similar fruits.
\nThe fruits of Terminalia arjuna<\/i> also look similar. To differentiate one has to check the lines on these closely.
\nFruits 5-winged, spikes panicled
\n-Wings of fruits hard, lines on wings curved upwards : T. arjuna syn. T.cuneata<\/i> \u0905\u0930\u094d\u091c\u0941\u0928\u093e<\/b>
\n<\/span> -Wings of fruits papery, lines on wings straight : T. elliptica <\/i>\u0910\u0928<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Please go through the earlier discussion<\/span><\/a> about the same on our website<\/p>\n

\n

I dont remember that tree having crocodile bark.
\nattaching pics (cropped one ) of the bark.<\/p>\n

\n

Confusion! Would it be possible to upload a close up of a branch in which the leaves are clearly seen (preferably both upper and lower sides of leaves), if possible.<\/p>\n

\n

see if U can clear confusion with these pics. I cant say they r lucid but these r all I have.
\nAnd sure, bark was not like crocodile.<\/p>\n

\n

Last year I also had similar dilemma. I photographed, what I thought two different species, one flowering in late April, shorter inflorescence and narrower and fruit with very short wings (which I though T. arjuna<\/i>=T. cuneata<\/i>), and one flowering in early June, twice as long inflorescence and slightly shorter but much broader fruit with very long wings (which I thought T. tomentosa<\/i>=T. elliptica<\/i>). Both had smooth barks and as such most on the group identified it as T. arjuna<\/i>. I will upload them again.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, I think this is T. elliptica<\/i>, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to the generic character of Termlinalia <\/i>L., nom. cons., the bracteoles in the genus are linear to subulate, small and deciduous.\u00a0 The term bracteole is a diminutive of bract, indicating a smaller structure, usually found subtending the flowers, flower-fascicles and at the base of young inflorescence-shoots.\u00a0Thus there is nothing wrong in observing a small bracteate structure at the base of a mature inflorescence-branch which has somehow persisted for a longer duration.<\/p>\n

I hope am correct, …<\/b>,\u00a0 we want to update in our site eflora of India because there are some errors.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Tapas ji, who is expert on Terminalia, is with us.<\/div>\n
He has always guided in matters related to this genus.<\/div>\n
POWO is not correct in this matter. I feel Catalogue of Life is much better than all other databases these days (and updated on daily basis), but here also there may be many discrepancies.<\/div>\n
It is always better to consult two or more such databases and than decide (if required with proper discussions in case these do not agree with each other).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/span>I am not sure whether this crocodile bark tree could be <\/span>Terminalia alata<\/i> or <\/span>crenulata<\/i> or <\/span>elliptica<\/i>. Thus labelled as <\/span>Terminalia<\/i> sp.<\/span><\/div>\n

Crocodile skin bark is supposed to be characteristic of Terminalia elliptica<\/i> …a possibility .<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Crocodile bark and fruits seem to be that of Terminalia tomentosa<\/i>, a tree found in plenty in Tholpetty<\/p>\n

\n
Thanks … The name “crocodile bark” seems generic for many species of Terminalia<\/i> – alata \/ crenulata \/ elliptica \/ tomentosa<\/i> (I was bot sure).
\nThanks very much … for the ID.<\/span><\/div>\n

its just not limited to trees in India.<\/div>\n
In USA its found on Juniperus deppeana<\/span><\/i> (<\/span>alligator juniper) in Arizona and new mexico\u00a0<\/span><\/a>and at this url<\/span><\/a> (its a flickr)<\/div>\n
other is Nyssa sylvatica or Black gum<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and Pine tree have bark<\/span><\/a> that break and have fissures, on many i have seen those squarish\/rectangular pieces. always reminded me of alligator skin. great for mulching flowerbeds when these bark pieces slide off.<\/b>

\n
\n
Thanks … I was aware that all four are synonymous, but sometime later I missed that thought because I found some sites listing them as distinct species.<\/div>\n
Now at links in Terminalia elliptica<\/i><\/span><\/a> page, it is clear through Tapas ji’s papers that other three are synonyms of Terminalia elliptica<\/i>.

\n

I guess you are right.<\/p>\n

\n
If this tree is in the same area, your other observation:

\nmight be the same, <\/span>Terminalia elliptica<\/em>. The bark could not be seen clearly in those photos.<\/span><\/div>\n

OK … ID may be not matching, however, listed in Nepal is Terminalia alata\u00a0<\/i>B.Heyne ex Roth, not the Terminalia alata<\/i>\u00a0Herb. Madr. ex Wall.,

The small round structures are galls.
\nIt is either\u00a0Terminalia elliptica<\/i>\u00a0or\u00a0Terminalia arjuna<\/i>. The dry brown fruits are not very clear and neither is the bark. I can’t see leaf glands in the photos.
\nSince the branches are pale grey it might be T. arjuna<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Going by the trunk, I feel it is more likely to be
