\n

I guess it is not matching<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Thanks, … If so, pl. check other species at \/species\/m—z\/s\/sapotaceae\/manilkara<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

To me also look different from images at Manilkara roxburghiana<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Sorry to say, this is not Manilkara roxburghiana<\/i>, and is probably not Sapotaceae<\/i>. (It\u2019s difficult to see the flower structure and the leaf arrangement in the pictures to say for certain which family this is\u2026 but it does not look like Sapotaceae<\/i>.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Seems to be Pittosporum<\/i> sp. of Pittosporaceae<\/i>? Does it have pugent smell in their leaves?<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Could this be Pittosporum dasycaulon<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Shown as Pittosporum dasycaulon<\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0at Flora of Karnataka<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n
I feel it may be more close to Pittosporum napaulense<\/em><\/span><\/a> as per images and details herein.
\nPl. confirm or otherwise.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

It is also reported from Theni district as per details at Pittosporum<\/em><\/span><\/a>\u200e<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pittosporum dasycaulon<\/em>, to me too.<\/p>\n

\n
Thanks …, I am not familiar with Pittosporum napaulense<\/i>. Hope we get validating comments.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Inflorescence looks different.<\/p>\n

\n

Pl. see details at Pittosporum napaulense<\/em><\/span> (DC.) Rehder & E.H. Wilson<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Yes, you are right … This must be Pittosporum napaulense<\/i>… the fruits are on branched inflorescence. I was wrong in this post earlier.<\/p>\n
