Dear Neil ji The genus Gymnosporia has been very problematic in the past and it is unfortunately very confusing. I hope somebody will put up photos of proper G. senegalensis and G. emarginata from the North West and South India respectively.

She feels the name Gymnosporia montana should be applied to these. It is often that thorns are absent from tree. As we are currently using Gymnosporia senegalensis is a African species that occur up to Pakistan and possibly in India. The other species of Gymnosporia occurring in Southern India and Sri Lanka is Gymnosporia emarginata, a species that extend to Australia. Thank you very much, Robert Robert H.
