I concur with Dr Singh. As far as I am concerned, all input here is of use to me and will be further investigated. (For what it's worth, this plant looks like some unholy inter-family cross between Eriobotrya deflexa (Bronze loquat--Rosaceae) and the giant tree Lobelia of South America--LOL!)
Looking forward to additional input from all. Regards-- Ken. ________________________________ From: Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> To: TANAY BOSE <[email protected]>; Kenneth Greby <[email protected]> Cc: efloraofindia <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, March 26, 2010 6:59:08 PM Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:30861] Re: Unknown tree_Phuket Island, Thailand Tanay I must say you are really talented. I admire your great knowledge of plants at this young age. Keep up the enthusiasm. You have great future. I have been regularly writing on this group, thever hesitate in making guesses, even if they are wild guesses. It prompts others to study the photograph more carefully. Your guesses usually score more than 95, mostly 100 per cent.
