Notes from\u00a0<\/span>Botanical Survey of India<\/a>:\u00a0<\/span>Ziziphus caracutta<\/i>\u00a0Roxb. was described in 1824. Later authors reduced it as a synonym of\u00a0<\/span>Z. xylopyrus<\/i>\u00a0var.\u00a0<\/span>glaberrima<\/i>. Santapau (1953) raised it to the status of a species\u00a0<\/span>Z. glaberrima<\/i>. A critical study of the above two taxa reveals that they are conspecific and therefore, they are treated here under a single taxon\u00a0<\/span>Z. caracutta<\/i>, being the earliest valid name.\u00a0<\/span>

Nice Photograph … As usual outstanding.
\nIt’s called \u0918\u094b\u091f\u094d\u092f\u093e <\/b>in marathi in our region. A medium sized tree and mostly used as a Goat fodder plant.<\/div>\n
but as per IPNI and The Plant list, Ziziphus xylopyrus<\/i> (Retz.) Willd. is the accepted name.<\/div>\n
Experts comments, please!\u00a0\u263a\ud83d\ude4f<\/div>\n

Thanks … for the appreciation and the local name – will add it in names database.<\/div>\n
The name\u00a0Ziziphus caracutta<\/i> Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb. is hardly popular; it is a unresolved name at The Plants List<\/span><\/a>; put as a synonym of Ziziphus xylopyrus<\/i> (Retz.) Willd. at some sites, including India Biodiversity Portal<\/span><\/a>, while at Botanical Survey of India<\/span><\/a>, it has a very far relation to Z. xylopyrus<\/i>. But the small note at the end of page is interesting, worth heeding.
\nI hope those studying the <\/span>Ziziphus<\/i> genus in India, throw more light by sorting their species.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks, …\u00a0 Pl. Also efi site page in this regard.<\/p>\n

Yes …, there is some useful discussion in … post<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks for this post! I was searching for Id of this Ziziphus<\/i> for too long !! I think this Ziziphus\u00a0 <\/i>is <\/span>present <\/span>on Tilak Bridge Dadar on either sides of bridge while descending from Plaza theater to Khodadad circle<\/span>. <\/i>One more similar tree I saw earlier in Malad West. Very soon I ll share few images in same thread…<\/span><\/p>\n
