Dear Miguel Thank you very much for helping me ID the Milk Weed. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. And may I be so bold as to ask you another question?
Ive seen several places in Goa a tall tree that I cant identify. I know that it is probably of the mangrove-family, but as that family is very big, I havent been able to narrow it down. I attach a couple of photos they are not very good, but hopefully can be helpful. The tree has very special seed- pods (see in the middle of photo nr. II) with a kind of berries in a bright reed-orange colour, inside them is the very hard black seed. I havent seen it myself, but II have been told that the flowers are yellow. It does not as some mangroves grow in water or on very wet ground. Do you recognize this? Is it really a kind of mangrove? And the name, English/Latin? Photos can be found at: http://www.goanet.org/images/topics/EmailPhotos/UnknownTree_I.jpg http://www.goanet.org/images/topics/EmailPhotos/UnknownTree_II.jpg Hope I am not taking advantage of you being so helpful. Best wishes Tine Albinus
