Engelhardtia spicata_23102011_RKC01:<\/a>
\nEngelhardtia spicata<\/i> Lechen ex Blume for you.
\nFamily: Juglandaceae<\/i>
\nLoc.: On way to Tuting, Upper Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh (ca 550 msl)
\n<\/span>Date: 22nd September 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

We have a few individuals of this species <\/span>in Morni Hills<\/span>, when we visited the area earlier, it was not in flowering stage. Hoping to find it blooming some day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Yes I know … Delhi University Prof.\u00a0… had specially asked me to look for this one, but we could not find any in flowering.<\/p>\n

\n

We too have this species in Sikkim; even in Gangtok itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why do people scrape off\/slice off bark… as in your 2nd pic above ??
\nwhat is scientific reason?<\/p>\n

\n

Like other morphological characters, trees could also be identified by their bark. If you touch the bark of the tree and try to feel the texture of the bark, you can experience its texture. It could be uniform, spiny, flaky, smooth or ridged. This method could be useful in case of trees that have reached their age of maturity. The colour of the bark can also be a parameter in identifying trees. In that case, you need to peel off a strip of bark. For instance, if you try to peel the bark of this sp, it breaks down into small strips in the horizontal direction and exposes its pinkish-white layers underneath.
\nYou will experience how different kinds of bark peel off in different shaped strips and different colour. Some tree trunks are unique in their appearance, thus, they can be identified easily.
\nBut, I hardly ever try this. In this case I was lucky to get a fallen stem due to heavy storm in the day before my field work.<\/p>\n

\n

a SMALL portion of bark removed generally to observe if any exudate present or not, if present what type and nature.
\nSome plants produce milky, white latex as in the case of Alstonia<\/i>, some other like Garcinia<\/i> species exude yellow sap while Red Sanders produce red exudate. This can help in idying the plant. Some Semecarpus produce colourless watery sap which turns brown and sticky on exposure. Slicing of bark also helps to know the thickness of bark and color of inner-bark.<\/p>\n

\n

I didn’t say the inner bark helps in ID (it may be sometimes)…but it is helpful in describing the plant\/bark…as in the case of Terminalia arjuna (pl see the picture), the inner bark is reddish, and one can also get to see\/measure the thickness of bark when sliced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

…\u00a0is absolutely right. love this set of pictures<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you … Wikipedia has this to say about the name;
\nThe genus name is commonly misspelled “<\/span>Engelhardtia<\/i>“, a “correction” made by the original author Blume in 1829 and persistent until today, as it was thus entered in the <\/span>Index Kewensis<\/a><\/i>; the original spelling is <\/span>Engelhardia<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

On searching found that it belongs to a less known family <\/span>Juglandaceae<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

I have seen this tree in West Sikkim.<\/p>\n
