Dear Gargji, These phtographs were earlier referred to me by Mrs. Shoba of Nizhal group ( with unclear photographs). Somebody identified it as Kelinhovia hospita. Seeing the leaves I thought the tree must be Pterygota alata. Later few more photographs ( the same photographs sent by you) were provided to me, on request, along with some information on shape of leaves etc. On reading the information provided by them about the texture of the leaves and also comparing the latest photographs showing the shape of the leaves, fruits (winged) etc., I identified the tree as Berrya cordifolia (commonly called trincomallee wood, Chamu'lai, ). These are very tall trees. In all probabalities, it should be Berrya cordifolia only. Nevertheless, the photographs are sometimes misleading as the leaves of many trees look aliike in photographs and one should take into account the nature of flowers, frutis etc.before confirming. With best wishes, Dr.Mahadeswara swamy --- On Mon, 15/3/10, J.M. Garg <[email protected]> wrote:

Earlier relevant feedback: “ It looks like Pterygota alata [Buddha's Coconut] to me. With regards, Neil Soares.” ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chithra V <[email protected]> Date: 24 February 2010 19:57 Subject: [efloraofindia:28243] Please help with identification To: [email protected] Hi, I photographed these in Chennai (Gandhi Nagar, 3rd Main Road) this evening. The leaves are from a very tall tree - 10 meters at least. I first thought the leaves looked like those of Scarlet cordia but the texture was different, later someone said that it may be a Lagerstroemia of some kind. But the fruit (240210-01c) looks very different from the fruits I have seen so far... Please help...
