Satish ji Thanks for further information. I am not able to access the FOI link or the main website. There have been two other feedbacks : Dr. Kunhikannan has indicated my pics are of A. hirsutus and Parjanya ji has indicated species of A.gometzianus.
According to me the size and shape of fruit does not match A. hirsutus. But it could be the one suggested by Parjanya ji. One more aspect to note is I have gone by the separate species A. lacucha Buch. - Ham earlier known as A. lakoocha Roxb.as per Dr. Almeida's flora. Dr Almeida's flora also has Artocarpus gomezianus Wall. ex Trecul earlier known by the three names as follows : A. lakoocha Roxb. var. gomeziana Wall. ex Trimen, A. gomezianus Worthington and A. lakoocha auct.(non. Roxb. 1832). Here the description is " syncarp 2-3 cm wide, sub-globose, green, later turning orange. " Will await your comments. regards, Rashida.

" ..echinate, the spines(free apices of anthocarps) about 6 mm long, cylindric, straight, hispid, perforate at the apex for the filiform style, edible. Seeds 1-2 cm long ovoid." The fruits of A.lacucha are "5-8 cm in diameter, lobulate, smooth, velvety, yellow, edible. Seeds oblong few, broad, about 1 cm across". Hence the Pics posted are of A. lacucha only. regards, Rashida. Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 21:03:58 +0530 Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:33930] Artocarpus lacucha Buch.-Ham. From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] I think it appears more like Artocarpus hirsutus. The syncarp is spiny whereas in A.lakoocha it is smooth velvety. Let us wait for others comments. Recently I have noticed that Almeida's flora appears to be more descriptive and there are certain differences between it and the BSI Mah flora which I have. You must have checked with Almeida's what does it say about the key related to this?
