Dear Alka, the 2 species are quite similar but once you see the leaves of the 2 side by side you will see the difference. IN some images which only show the fruit it is very difficult to say which is which.
If you look at the habitat of the Silonda trail you will see it is typical moist deciduous and that is a big clue. C. graveolens is very common in these kinds of forests whereas C. ovata is restricted to everygreen forest understorey. The other clue is fruiting time. Your pics were taken in June so it is certainly not C. ovata which flowers end of June to early August and fruits in September - October. regards Radha On Tuesday, July 9, 2013 8:51:00 AM UTC+5:30, Alka Khare wrote: > > Hello friends > > Requesting to please ID this plant with green fruits captured on the > Silonda trail, SGNP in Mumbai in June 2013. > > Thanks and Regards > Alka Khare > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
