\n

Yes this is <\/i>Grewia tiliaefolia<\/i><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Grewia<\/i> species for sure . Whether this is T. tiliaefolia<\/i> or T.asiatica
\n<\/i>need to be checked by comparing the floral\/ vegetative characters for confirmation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I think this is Grewia asiatica<\/i>
\nas the leaves are more or less symmetrical.
\nRef … work and observations.
\nI am attaching \u00a0a table of comparison done earlier by me. Post No. [Efloraindia:34287]
\n…………………
\nAfter searching all the available literature I am convinced that the plant depicted in this mail by me (Both the sets of pictures) is Grewia tiliifolia<\/i> (And not G.asiatica<\/i>)
\nAttaching a table showing the differences compiled together.
\nIf there are any mistakes and errors please correct me.
\nAgreed that it is a big tree but the species observed by me happen to be small shrub like tree which might attain huge height.—————–<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Yes it is Grewia asiatica<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

If it is growing wild in Western ghats it is most likely Grewia tilaefolia.

\n“Sorry I am no expert but my query dt.130511sn2 has been identified as Grewia tilaefolia<\/i>. But I find the pictures with 2 types of flowers on the same plant look closer to Grewia damine<\/i>. Kindly clarify. the photo was taken at Mulshi, Pune.<\/p>\n

\n

In G. tiliaefolia<\/i> the peduncles should be shorter than petioles<\/span> (here it doesn’t look so).
\nMost probably G. asiatica<\/i> of Malvaceae<\/i> family (according to “the plant list”). http:\/\/www.flowersofindia.in\/catalog\/slides\/Phalsa.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

I need the details of cultivation of Grewia asiatica<\/i> in India.
\nIf anyone know the exact cultivation locality or cultivators number or address please pass the information. That is very much useful to me.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

It seems It is being cultivated in Pakistan<\/p>\n

\n
\n

It is also cultivated in our Northern Area.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

It is cultivated by one farmer in his farm, mitmita village, Aurangabad (M.S.) India and i also collected from the same locality. Actually these species was described by Linnaeus from the material of surat (cultivated) but when i visited the surat Dist. and many gardens of surat i am unable to collected it from surat.<\/p>\n

\n

You can write to …, Professor, Agroforestry, Deptt. of Forestry, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. He may be in a position to help you as the plant is being planted in many parts of Punjab as a fruit tree.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks … for your valuable help.
\nCan you give me more details about that farmer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unidentified tree<\/div>\n
Location: Mumbai<\/span>
\nDate: 170911
\nDescription: Height – about 3 meters
\n<\/span>Very few flowers could be observed on the tree
\nThe leaves were chordate, with serrate margin, alternate<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Looks like species of Grewia <\/i>of Malvaceae<\/i> family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Atleast my guess till the family level was ok.
\nI had thought it might be of Tiliaceae<\/i>, now Malvaceae
\n<\/i>Could it be Grewia asiatica<\/i>?
\nFurther help needed for confirmation<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

or is it Grewia tiliaefolia<\/i>??<\/p>\n

\n

… most probably Grewia tiliifolia<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

I too think it to be Grewia tiliifolia.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

I think\u00a0these images may be of Grewia asiatica<\/i> L.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as Peduncles much longer than petioles as per keys in BSI Flora of India<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Its very difficult to convey the species, but yes it appears to <\/span>Grewia asiatica <\/i>to me!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Grewia for ID : Oman : 130213 : AK-1:<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a08 images.<\/div>\n
Kindly id this Grewia<\/i> species seen by me at a farm<\/span> here.
\nA medium height tree with yellow-orange flowers.
\n<\/span>Is it Phalsa?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
This is more likely to be Dhaman<\/b> [Grewia tiliaefolia<\/i>] some my photographs of which are available at this link<\/span><\/a>
\nMy photographs of <\/span>Phalsa<\/b> [<\/span>Grewia asiatica<\/i>] for comparison are available at <\/span>this link<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Thanks for the id.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
It was just a guess from me.<\/div>\n
My knowledge about trees is limited.<\/div>\n
If you believe this to be Dhaman<\/b>, then it should be the right one.
\nThe farm belongs to an Indian, so I found trees which we see in India.<\/span><\/div>\n

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

I think\u00a0these images may be of Grewia asiatica<\/i> L.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as Peduncles much longer than petioles as per keys in BSI Flora of India<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

For me, it appears to be Grewia asiatica<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>got this plant with a lovely arrangement of leaves….

\n
\n

This is confusing…..Helicteres isora<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Helicteres isora<\/i> for me too used as a ayurvedic medine though I don’t know the particular use<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

This looks more like a Grewia<\/i> species to me possibly Phalsa [Grewia asiatica<\/i>].<\/p>\n

\n

… me too have the same thought of … could be Grewia<\/i> sp.<\/p>\n

\n

Grewia<\/i> species<\/p>\n

\n

Grewia tiliaefolia<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

More likely to be Grewia asiatica<\/i><\/span> L.<\/u><\/span><\/a>\u00a0due to short petioles.<\/p>\n

Id please
\nShrub with scabrid, serrate leaves<\/span>
\nRippen fruits edible,<\/span>
\nLocal Marathi name is Pitkuri<\/b>
\nAt kanakeshwar, Alibag<\/span>
\n26Nov, 2009<\/p>\n

\n

Grewia tilliaefolia<\/i> also called as Dhaman in Marathi. It is a medium sized tree though.<\/p>\n

\n

Sorry, G. tiliaefolia<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

If this is a shrub and the drupes are 4 lobed, then it could be Grewia
\nflavescens<\/i>. If the drupes are 2 lobed and edible then it could be G.
\nasiatica<\/i>.<\/p>\n
