Based on Satish ji's observation, I again revisited all the threads on *Maytenus senegalensis* in Indiantreepix database. My further *identification as Maytenus senegalensis based on the following thread is not correct* (as the identification in the thread itself is now doubtful as there are no spines as also in my post): http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/e7618e541371f5e7 I am also ruling out *Celastrus paniculata* as it's a woody climber as per link of Forest Flora of A.P.: http://forest.ap.nic.in/Forest%20Flora%20of%20Andhra%20Pradesh/Flora%20by%20M%20Sharfuddin%20Khan/Botanical%20Names/Celastrus%20paniculata.htm
These are the only species of *Maytenus/ * *Celastrus/ Gymnosporia*mentioned in Forest Flora of A.P. May Dr. Archer sort out the things now. 2009/11/16 J.M.
