Anuragji Ms. Moumita Das Das provided the following differentiating characters. Hope it would be useful to you Memecylon edule Roxb. is widespread in tropical Asia from India to Western Malesia. It has ovate-elliptic leaves 1.5-3.5 inches long with obtuse or acute apex and pedunculate inflorescence and fruits purplish-black. M. talbotianum Brandis is an endemic species of India which is restricted to Western Ghats. Though it has similar leaves, it can be easily distinguished from the former by its nearly sessile cluster of flowers on leafless nodes and yellowish fruits. In M. edule primary axes, secondary axes and pedicels are prominent. Moreover the leaves in M. edule dries to brownish while in the other leaves turn yellowish in colour.
