Hello Satish, regarding the stem cross sections, what I observed was a consistently greater number of 'rays' in *T. sinensis* although the actual number varied quite a bit. These rays were also less distinct in character than in
*T. cordifolia.* As for the warts I think *T. cordifolia* has more and bigger warts on the stem most of the time. It also depends on the age and thickness of the particular stems. We can rely on distinct characters of the endocarps as described in Talbot's Flora. regards Radha On Monday, May 22, 2017 at 8:31:58 PM UTC+5:30, Satish Phadke wrote: > > The bark of T.sinensis is also described as dirty green and *warty*.(Apart > from hairy leaves.) > I have seen this warty stems many a times.
