Hi Mr.Garg, It is Morinda citrifolia. M.pubescens [M.tomentosa] has hairy [tomentose] leaves whereas in M.citrifolia they are larger and glabrous. Also M.citrifolia has fragrant flowes. Incidentally M.tinctoria is not found in the Borivali N.P. and is cultivated more along the coast. With regards, Neil Soares.

How to differentiate between two species i.e. Morinda pubescens & Morinda citrifolia? They look similar to me while going through Shrikant ji's book. 2009/6/16 Prashant awale <[email protected]> Dear Garg Ji, Good snaps. I think this should be "Morinda pubescens". We call it "Baratondi" due to around 12+ buldges on its fruit.. best wishes Prashant.. On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 8:47 AM, J.M. Garg <[email protected]> wrote: Tree I saw in Guntur, A.P.
