\n

Macaranga denticulata<\/em> and M. pustulata<\/em> are entirely different species based on fruit characters according to Whitmore, Gen. Macaranga Prodr. (2008) and both the species are occurring in India.<\/p>\n

\n

What is the plant posted by …?<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is Macaranga pustulata<\/em>.
\n1 image.<\/p>\n

\n
However it is still shown as syn of M. denticulata<\/em> in POWO, WFO, CoL and GBIF.<\/div>\n
So the accepted name should be\u00a0Macaranga denticulata var. pustulata<\/em> (King ex Hook.f.) Chakrab. & M.Gangop. \u00a0??
\nAny article \/ journal on update on this sp. ??<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

This is a wrong concept advanced by me. If you go through the book Gen. Macaranga Prodr. by T. C. Whitmore (2008) he has shown that these two species are quite distinct. See the image attached by me. The fruits of M.\u00a0 pustulata<\/em> have glandular patches on the lobes<\/span> which is absent in M. denticulata<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Need to look for the book !\u00a0https:\/\/www.ipni.org\/n\/351317-1<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

This book was published by Kew. Please see Flora Malesiana Euphorbiaceae<\/em> online and there you will get the treatment of both the species.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Confusion according to the links about the correct ID !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Please forget about the links. I reduced Macaranga pustulata<\/em> to a variety of M . denticulata<\/em> as it is less pubescent and there will be a few black spots or pustules at the base of lamina where it meets with the petiole.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Is this not Macaranga pustulata<\/em>?<\/p>\n

\n

I have no idea<\/p>\n

\n
\n
What is the difference between the two?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here in case of Macaranga pustulata<\/em>, there are conspicuous glandular patches\/pads on the lobes of ovary and fruits<\/span> which are lacking in M. denticulata<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Please look here: glandular patches in M. pustulata<\/em>.<\/span> Moreover, there will be black dots on leaf lamina near the junction of petiole.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
So you mean to say that it is M. pustulata<\/em> as there are black dots on leaf lamina near the junction of petiole.<\/div>\n
Is it?<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n

Fruit character is distinctive between the two species.<\/p>\n

\n
But we can not see the fruit character\u00a0here.<\/div>\n
So what do you finally consider it to be ?<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n

Macaranga pustulata<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I think Macaranga<\/em> sp.<\/p>\n

\n

I am just giving a suggestion and you need not take it for granted and you must verify this yourself before posting in Facebook … My suggestion: Macaranga denticulata.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Could it be\u00a0Macaranga indica<\/em><\/span>\u00a0Wight ??<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
This is not Macaranga indica <\/i>as the fruits are not 1-locular but clearly 2-locular in the images.<\/div>\n
This is\u00a0Macaranga denticulata<\/span><\/em><\/span>\u00a0(Blume) M\u00fcll. Arg.<\/span>\u00a0var.\u00a0denticulatea<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Is it different from\u00a0Macaranga denticulata<\/em><\/span>\u00a0(Blume) Mull. Arg. ??<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

No …, This is typical M. denticulata<\/em> very abundant in that area. Leaves are epeltate as well as slightly peltate, as in these images. Good images are available in efi website. Var. pustulata<\/em> is slightly different in less deep lobes of fruits and less pubescens with etimes a few pustules near the base of the leaves. M. indica<\/em> is very different in 1-locular fruits and with a large gland at the base of the bracts outside and it is rather rare species.<\/p>\n

\n

Can it also be\u00a0Macaranga pustulata<\/em>?<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, Macaranga pustulata<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
