Dear Mr Garg, Thank you for following up on this. I have got responses from a few members confirming Quercus genus. On further search, I found the species to be Quercus *geminata* or *leucotrichophora *- couldnt quite tell for lack of images on the net. Regards, Sushmita Jha

Some years ago when I first visited Neora Valley in North Bengal, the guide plucked a fruit and called it 'bantay' in the local language. He said it was the most favourite fruit of the bears in that forest. I am hoping that someone familiar with the flora of Neora Valley and the symbiosis between plants and animals in this nature reserve, would be able to throw some light on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sushmita Jha -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
