\nThampanai<\/b> is a rare and little known species of tree peculiar to the island of Sri Lanka and South India.
\n<\/span>It is described as a long leathery, linear-oblong obtuse-leaved tree. <\/span>Spolia Zeylanica<\/i> (1909, p 153) says that this tree occurs sparingly by the rivers. The tree may grow up to 30-40 feet high. Its wood, pink or pinkish white in colour, is moderately hard and is used for building. The wood also is said to be durable in water. The tree sprouts twice a year in February and in September and the young foliage is brownish red in colour.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It is indeed a rare species.\u00a0 You can publish a short note on this species.\u00a0 It is very poorly known in South India.\u00a0 Recorded in cultivation from Indian Botanic Garden Kolkata and Andamans.\u00a0 If you need references, contact me.<\/p>\n

The one at Lalbagh Botanical Gardens is in a sorry state. Half of it has dried up.<\/div>\n
Raman Ji was kind enough to show me earlier.
\nI have taken some pictures last month.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This was clicked at the Indian Botanic Garden (AJBC Garden)<\/span> at Shibpur, Howrah, WB\u00a0 in December 2021.<\/span><\/div>\n
Nameplate identified it as Mischodon zeylanicus<\/em>.<\/div>\n
I guess pics of this tree are already present in the efi database.<\/div>\n
Luckily I observed it in the flowering stage.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

I guess the correct ID !<\/p>\n

Nice upload of a very distinct species under Picrodendreae<\/em> family. For the first time I am\u00a0 coming across this family.<\/p>\n
