260311-PR-To ID- Chennai<\/a>:
\nThis is a tree laden with bunches of small flowers which are typically hiding below the leaves.<\/span> Someone in a neighbouring house said it had fruits like a sapota.-( could have been guessing.)
\nThe tree is in a private residence<\/span> in Mylapore, Chennai.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

–\u00a0Yes, it matches the pics of Lepisanthes tetraphylla<\/i>. I seem to be running into Sapotaceae<\/i> of\u00a0late ; saw a Chrysophyllum cainito<\/i> for the first time last week. There was a small ( 8-9 feet) pruned specimen of this tree<\/span> at Agri-Horti garden<\/span> <\/span>but photogrphy is not allowed there. So I was lucky to stumble on this tree, seen over the wall of a cousin’s house.<\/p>\n

It reminds me of\u00a0Sapindaceae \u2014> Lepisanthes\u00a0<\/i>sp.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Yes, it is Lepisanthus<\/em> sps. Thank you very much for ID my tree. Flowers, leaves and leaf arrangement of L. rubiginosa<\/em> are very close to my tree. In my tree, inflorescence clusters were centralised only in old branches. Even though, the specimen collected as fallen inflorescence and flower. Sprout images will be provide as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

\n

Sharing sprout images, captured because of amazing whites in the wilderness on 19th December 2022 from an another nearby spot.\u00a0 I think it’s is of same kind tree having 03 feets height.

I think the cauliflorous inflorescences in your photographs are indicative of\u00a0Lepisanthes tetraphylla<\/i>\u00a0(Vahl) Radlk. [syn.\u00a0Lepisanthes deficiens<\/i>\u00a0Radlk.]. Quite a variable species. Please refer to the attached key by JP Pascal & BR Ramesh.<\/div>\n
PS: In the attached key,\u00a0L. def<\/b>iciens<\/i>\u00a0is misspelt as\u00a0L. decip<\/b>iens<\/i>. The publication details are mentioned in the file name.
