Request Tree ID 55 – Bangalore – RA:<\/a>
\nLalbagh, Bangalore<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Looks like Euphorbiaceae<\/i> member. Possibly related to Jatropha.<\/p>\n

\n

just guess, can it be Hevea<\/i> species<\/p>\n

\n

I also feel it could be H.brasiliensis<\/i>, commercial Rubber tree.<\/p>\n

\n

Not Hevea brisiliensis<\/i> please, which has trifoliate leaves, whereas this one has simply deeply lobed leaves. Also fruits are weekly tilobed in Hevea, not here.<\/p>\n

\n

Identity of the ZZ Unknown 055 Tree is Manihot glaziovii<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Yes it is Manihot glaziovii <\/i>of Euphorbiaceae<\/i> family, a close relative of tapioca.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0stem is characteristic of having peeled bark with light-brown colour; plant with milky latex.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Flowers seen on month of July (1cm across; cream coloured)<\/span><\/div>\n
Fruits (October) are 3-4 cm across<\/span><\/div>\n
Location: Kanchikode of Palakkad Dist, Kerala<\/span><\/div>\n
Date: 19 October 2016

\n

Could this be Manihot glaviozii<\/i> of Euphorbiaceae<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n

Yes …, This is Ceara rubber tree<\/b> (Manihot glaziovii<\/i>). It is now naturalized in Kerala and Tamil Nadu and also occasionally seen in the Andamans though its cultivation is now discontinued.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Yes, It is Manihot glaziovii<\/i><\/p>\n

How Manihot carthaginensis subsp. glaziovii came in India<\/a>:
\nComments at eFI site page at\u00a0Manihot carthaginensis subsp. glaziovii<\/a>:
\nGreetings, I am in Singapore. Here, Manihot carthaginensis<\/em> subsp. glaziovii<\/em> (locally known as tree tapioca<\/strong> or elephant tapioca<\/strong>) was cultivated in plantations in the 1800\u2019s for latex for making rubber. It was later replaced in this role by another member of the Euphorbiaceae,<\/em> the Para rubber tree Hevea brisiliensis<\/em>, once the British had smuggled seeds out of Brazil. I have not yet found out when or where or by whom Manihot carthaginensis<\/em> subsp. glaziovii<\/em> was introduced to the East Indies. Does anyone here know? When was it introduced to India? Who brought it there and from where? Was it by the British or Portuguese or someone else?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Does anyone have any idea?<\/span><\/p>\n
