Elaeocarpus sp. ? for ID ( Elaeocarpaceae)<\/a>\u00a0: 7 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1).<\/div>\n

Location : Lengpui, Mizoram
\nAltitude : ca. 400 m.
\nHabit : Middle-sized or large evergreen tree
\nHabitat : Wild
\nDate : 24-07-2014<\/p>\n

\n

It may be\u00a0Elaeocarpus sphaericus<\/em>\u00a0(RUDRAKSHA). \u2026 should send image of the seeds, that will help.<\/p>\n

It is not\u00a0Elaeocarpus sphaericus<\/em> for certain.<\/p>\n

\n
Could you identify it ?<\/div>\n
What\u00a0are the species reported in your area?<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Elaeocarpus aristatus, E.floribundus, E.lanceifolius, E.prunifolius, E.serratus, E. tectorius<\/em> and E.varunua<\/em> are recorded in my area.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Any keys ?<\/p>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
As keys were not working in the absence of flowers, I tried all species listed in the book as per comparative images at\u00a0Elaeocarpus<\/a><\/em> and specimens from India in GBIF as below:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Closest I could is\u00a0E.varunua\u00a0<\/i>as per\u00a0GBIF<\/a>–\u00a0specimen1<\/a>,\u00a0plant illustration<\/a>,\u00a0India Biodiversity Portal<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0IBIS Flora<\/a>\u00a0(FBI)<\/div>\n
