Hi, It is the Verditer Flycatcher [Eumyias thalassinus] on the Indian Nettle tree / Gunpowder tree / Charcoal tree [Trema orientalis]. It propagates freely from seeds. During the monsoon numerous saplings can be collected from areas where it is naturally found [like in and around Bombay]. With regards, Neil Soares.

Garg" <[email protected]> Dear Garg Sir, I need a small favor from you. We have a patch of land near mudumalai forest border in NIlgiris district. Lot of the similar tree has come up on the land. This tree is more like a decidous forest tree where as our area is a semi evergreen area. The tree / leaves on the picture is something similar to the singapore cherry tree. The birds love it, The animals love it. But this is not a native tree of our area. Hence it is not coming from the seeds or what ever. We are also not sure how to make the trees propogate. These trees came to our land due to the cow dung manure used by the previous owner for his ginger plantation. What is the name of the tree? How to make it germinate in our area? Any help on this will be appreciated Best regards -- J.
