Dear Anurag Ji, I received this mail on 23rd last month. To my surprise it also remains untouched. I will try with my century and half old lit., for FoC or FoP or eFI doesn't provide me KEY. I wonder why my modern equipped friends remain silent!
The features I find here are - - a tree (maybe a large shrub) - flowers are relatively large - sepals not much larger than petals - anthers many time longer than short filaments - style exceeding (not much though) stamens All these are features of *Ochna squarrosa* L. of Flora of British India. Leaf shape and margin serration vary. But, as I said these are old lit., we need modern materials, our modern eFI informs there are taxa like - 1) *O. gamblei* 2) *O. serrulata* 3) *O. kirkii* which I do not know. Don't wish to find out synonyms to relate them with FBI. Would DNA analysis help? My concern here is leaf texture, nothing else. You my check if you can find details on *O. gamblei* (GRIN gives a synonym <http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?423868#syn>) which have waxy leaves <http://envis.frlht.org/showherbarium.php?d=5895> as per FRLHT. I am not sure if your leaves can be called waxy. Better wait for experts from your region. Thank you Regards On Thu, Apr 23, 2015 at 11:02 AM, J.M.
