Hi Santhan ji, Garg ji This is unlikely to be Gymnosporia senegalensis. It is a little too far South for it. and the fruit and leaves are diagnostic enough to rule this out. This is not G. emarginata either as it is well outside its distribution. I am not sure which it may be. Perhaps to look out for flowers?
With best wishes, Robert ________________________________________ From: J.M.

Ding Hou SN Jan35 Hi, Santhan ji. I feel it may be Gymnosporia senegalensis (Lam.) Loes.<https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/c/celastraceae/gymnospora/gymnosporia-senegalensis> as per images herein & as per As per efi thread<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/DYbCp-BYyQI> (Gymnosporia emarginata is now considered an endemic species to southern India and Sri Lanka, and have relatively small leaves with usually a small notch in the leaf apex or is acute. The base of leaves are cordate and almost sessile or very short petioles. Gymnosporia montana is closely related to Gymnosporia senegalensis but has larger and broader leaves. This grows in the southern India. Gymnosporia senegalensis is a widespread species from South Africa, whole of Africa to Pakistan and North Western India. This has usually narrower leaves.) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ponnutheerthagiri Santhan <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: 31 January 2015 at 12:10 Subject: [efloraofindia:214589] Maytenus emarginata (Willd.)
