Thanks, Bharathi ji.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: bharathi raja <[email protected]> Date: 26 August 2017 at 23:11 Subject: Re: memecylon umbellatum ? To: "J.M. Garg" <[email protected]> Garg Sir, I went through the eFI site and then only I asked the question in interest;the site says both the species are synonymous. But I am for sure you are not laymen.You are an expert of experts. If the inflorescence is more or less sessile (stalkless) and the fruits are ripening blue (pl check Mathew, 1983), then it is *Memecylong umbellatum*. In *M. edule* the umbels are long stalked and the fruits are yellowish. 2. When you taste the leaves of *M. umbellatum* they will be sweet first then slightly sour. This is due to the presence of good amount of starch in the leaves. After years of looking at this species I have come to the conclusion that *M umbellatum* and *M edule* are synonymous. The plant has some local and seasonal variations. Fruit colour depends largely on the season of ripening, and length of stalks varies from tree to tree even in a localised area.
