As for shrub or not, Bengal Plants informs *Flueggea microcarpa* Bl. is a deciduous large shrub or tree weed. As for thorns in *F. leucopyrus* you can check Flora Indica - http://ia600607.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?id=mobot31753000967882&itemPath=%2F18%2Fitems%2Fmobot31753000967882&server=ia600607.us.archive.org&page=n663_w292 Regards, surajit On Monday, 20 May 2013 11:03:59 UTC+5:30, D.S Rawat wrote: > > Duthie in his document Flora of Upper Gangetic Plains has also mentioned > these two species and differentiate them as- > Unarmed; leaves 1-3 inches > long...................................................................... > *F. microcarpa* > Spinous; leaves rarely exceeding 1 inch long > ....................................................*F.leucopyrus* > He has mentioned its (F.microcarpa) distribution in Bengal also. > Spines in F.leucopyrus are not distributed all along the branch but > slender angular branchlets ends in a sharp spine. > Both of these species are mentioned growing in Kumaon but I have seen only > F.microcarpa which is a small shrubby plant and resemble closely to your > plant. > DSRawat Pantnagar > > On Saturday, May 18, 2013 11:45:41 PM UTC+5:30, surajitkoley wrote: >> >> I think this is a shrub.
