Forwarding again for Id assistance please. Some earlier relevant feedback: Hi Dr.Archer, According to Dr.M.R.Almeida's 'Flora of Maharashtra' 2 species of Cassine occur here.They are: 1. C.glauca. & 2. C.paniculata. At my farm at Shahapur near Bombay, I have a few trees of C.glauca. Sending you a few photographs of the same. With regards, Neil Soares. Dear Dr Archer, There is another species of Cassine described from Kerala from Silent Valley National Park by Dr Sasidharan and Dr Swarupanandan : Cassine kedarnathii (A new species of Cassine (Celastraceae) from India. Reinwardtia 11(1): 29-32.1992). I do not have any photograph of the same. Thanks Dr Santhosh Dear Neil ji Thank you very much. This is very valuable for me. Would you know what the colour of the ripe fruit is? With best wishes Robert Dear Dr. Santhosh Thank you very much. I found the journal in our library. It is a fascinating tree, with a massive hollow trunk of 13 m. I would very much like to get more information about this tree. Is there any other plants of this tree? I noticed Dr Sasidharan and Dr Swarupanandan refer to Cassine albens following Kostermans. But everyone refer to this tree as Cassine glauca? Why? With best wishes Robert I hope further feedback from Dr. Archer being an old thread of 2009 & in view of his views as below: *As per efi thread*<https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topicsearchin/indiantreepix/Tree$20AND$20flowers$20AND$20for$20AND$20ID$20AND$20%22(130709%22$20AND$20%22NSJ)%22/indiantreepix/aQqcVgwQpIA>: The names *Elaeodendron* and *Cassine* have been confused for centuries. However, my own research and DNA analysis proved that this plant is *Elaeodendron*. The genus *Cassine* with only 3 species, occur in South Africa and looks very different, both in flowers and fruit from *Elaeodendron*.
