\nI D for Chennai tree<\/a>: I retrieved the photographs from my archives. I took the photographs during June 2005<\/span>, if I remember right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I have not seen anywhere else in Chennai.<\/div>\n
This is a small tree abutting the compound wall.<\/div>\n
Could this be a\u00a0 species of Cordia<\/i>. Leaves also look like Cissus<\/i>.
\nLocation : Sardar Patel Road, near Anna University.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

–<\/span>Cordia lutea<\/i>, perhaps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boraginaceae week : ID No. MS 080612 -96- Cordia species .:<\/a><\/div>\n
I am attaching the pictures of Cordia<\/i> species.
\nLocation: Sardar Patel Road, Chennai (near Anna University)
\n<\/span>Date 25th November 2005.
\nI posted these pictures earlier also. But not yet been confirmed.<\/div>\n
\n

Cordia lutea<\/i>, perhaps.<\/p>\n

\nTree for ID : 100511 : AK-1:<\/a> Taken at Jijamata Udyan or Rani Baug, Mumbai, Maharashtra<\/span> on the 10th of April, 2008.
\nA medium sized tree <\/span>with tiny white flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Looks like Cordia<\/i> species.<\/p>\n

\n

i think this is vellaris heynei<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Can you post the close up of flowers if you have.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Sorry…I don’t have any close up of flowers.
\nWill try to get them next time I visit.<\/p>\n

\n

I do not think this is vellaris heynei<\/i> because a) heynei<\/i> is a woody climber and b) in the survey made by Dr. Almeida he does not mention heynei<\/i>. I think this is likely to be vallaris solanacea<\/i>. However one will need a close up of the flowers to make a final call.
\nUnfortunately the tree may have lost all the flowers by now so we may have to wait till next year.
\nAnyway …, I will be going to Jijamata garden (at 9 in the morning) coming Sunday, you are welcome to join.<\/p>\n

\n

… Vallaris heynei<\/i> is synonym of Vallaris solanacea<\/i> … climber.
\n<\/span>Just as … thinks, my guess too is some species of Cordia<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

Vallaris solanacea<\/i> (heynei<\/i>) climber flowering<\/span> on a medium sized tree of Cordia dichotoma<\/i> (myxa<\/i>).<\/p>\n

\n

it is Cordia domestica<\/i> Roth., Nov. Pl. Sp. 123, 1821; Almeida, Fl. Mah. 3:295, 2001; Singh et al, Fl. Mah. St. 2: 417, 2001.
\nSynonyms: C. myxa<\/i> L. var. domestica<\/i> Cl. in Hook.f., FI. Brit. Ind. 4: 140, 1883. C. fulvosa<\/i> Wt. Icon. t. 1380, 1850; Cooke, Fl. Pres. Bombay 2: 267, 1958 (Repr.)
\ni collected it from Bangur nagar, Goregaon, Mumbai and subsequently observed it at VJBU, opposite office.
\n<\/span> here is a key for distinguishing the species
\n1. Corolla white……………………………………………..2
\n<\/span> 2. Fruiting calyx not ribbed………………………………3
\n3. Filament hairy at base; Fruit up to 2.5 cm………..C. dichotoma
\n<\/b><\/i> 3. Filament glabrous; Fruit up to 1.2 cm long……….C. sinensis<\/i><\/b>
\n2. Fruiting calyx ribbed …………………………………….C. domestica<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. Corolla orange………………………………………………4
\n4. Leaves rough; Ripe fruit white……………………….C. sebastina
\n<\/i><\/b> 4. Leaves not rough; Ripe fruit brown…………………C. subcordata<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

i think plant is Cordia sinensis<\/i>, there are many trees in the gardens of this species… one at the corner of the office and one near the Gustavia tree…. there is <\/span>Vallaris<\/i> only on Lion cage in Rani baug….<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

i do not think its Vallaris<\/i>, leaves are not opposite here, to me it look like Cordia<\/i>.., in Victoria garden Vallaris<\/i> is present on Lion cage….
\n… pls if you can give us the exact location in Victoria garden, it would be easy to identify the small tree…<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
When you are going towards the Nursery, you have the offices on your right. Just before the offices begin, on the right itself is this small tree.<\/span><\/div>\n
Had been there a couple of days ago, saw the tree, no flowers now.<\/span><\/div>\n
There is a Sita asoka tree on the left, just opposite it on the right a little inside the road.
\n<\/span>I don’t think any climber is growing on it.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

I think\u00a0… has made it very clear. There are two plants in this photograph, a tree Cordia dichotoma<\/i> which is not flowering and a climber Vallaris solanacea<\/i>, which is flowering and the object of this identification.
\nSo the identification of Flowering plant should go as <\/span>Vallaris solanacea<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

sorry, but there is no two object in the photo, its an <\/span>Cordia sinensis<\/i>, and not<\/span> C. dichotoma<\/i>… according to the location provided by …, and i know that no climber growing on that tree..
\n<\/span>those who are confused please check the photo again..
\n<\/span>even i request\u00a0… to upload more photos or give more information if any climber growing on tree..<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

I think … is right. There is only one plant in the pic. What ever it is!!! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If this plant id Cordia sinensis<\/i>, then what is this??<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.zimbabweflora.co.zw\/speciesdata\/image-display.php?species_id=148260&image_id=1<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Surely the two are different<\/span><\/div>\n
In Cordia sinensis<\/i> (syn: C. gharaf<\/i> Forssk; C. rothii<\/i> Roem. & sch.), corolla lobes are much narrower, 4 in number and reflexed.<\/span> The above plant seems to have 5, much broader corolla lobes which are spreading. lso flower are too large for cordia<\/b>.
\n<\/span>http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/object_page.aspx?object_id=91875&flora_id=5<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

looking into more details, it look more closer to Cordia myxa<\/i>, i thought C. myxa<\/i> and C. sinensis<\/i> are synonyms but after going through details i saw different characters of both the species..

Kindly have a look at Cordia sinensis<\/i>; observe the leaves in the following link and compare it with the pic in the post

i am adding few pic of Cordia domestica<\/i> (not cordia dichotoma<\/i>) which i
\nhave pictured of the same plant at VJBU and at Bangur nagar Goregaon.<\/span><\/div>\n
also please observe

\nhttp:\/\/iscmumbai.maharashtra.gov.in\/Fig585-599.htm<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Thanks … for your efforts. We seem to be reaching somewhere. It looks similar to C. domestica
\n<\/i>http:\/\/iscmumbai.maharashtra.gov.in\/Fig570-584.htm<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

I agree with … ONLY ONE PLANT \/ TREE in this photo.<\/p>\n

\n

The focus of attention is the branch with flowers, and if this belongs to tree in question, I think we should be exploring further with what … has suggested. Let us go further from there and forget about two plant theory.<\/p>\n

\n

Adding two more pictures taken recently at the same place in Jijamata Udyan for identification.<\/p>\n

\n

This is\u00a0Cordia lutea\u00a0<\/em>Lam.<\/a>\u00a0(Cultivated) as per images and details herein and as per\u00a0Flora of Peninsular India<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
