Dear Dr tsp Kumar i agree with you that your picture matches as you suggested
but since this is not "native" to india many questions arise, mostly theoretical for an armchair botanist like me the two links i have sent in were very intriguing It seems its analogous to the domestication of dogs from their wild species and thought provoking domestication versus wild may be that's what has happened to us ... the *homo sapiens sapiens* of our ilk versus the wild ones that we still occ find in the amazon basin, andaman and australian outback... *they are all homo sapiens sapiens * we got domesticated and look different interesting biological questions a tree, a dog and now humans... etc etc just because of this one tree with interesting flower and fruit thanks please keep showing us the wonderful specimen i always look forward to them usha di On Sun, Nov 15, 2015 at 9:53 PM, tsp kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > The uploaded image matches with the image and description of Crescentia > cujete in Flowers of India website. > > http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Calabash%20Tree.html > > > On Sun, Nov 15, 2015 at 5:39 PM, J.M.
