Myristicaceae an uncommon family(?) Syn. *Myristica attenuata*. Said to be endemic to Western ghats. You have mentioned it as ornamental which it will always be. Liked the quote associated with it by *Lucius Annaeus Seneca. *Many artists will get inspired by such natural designs*. *Thanks for shring this beauty. Earlier Giby ji also liked it and shared it as Flora picture 2011 <http://efloraofindia.blogspot.in/>* *I have added this to Flora picture 2012<http://indiantreepix.blogspot.in/search?updated-min=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2014-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=1> *
