Dear members, Flora of Peninsular India <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/index.php> gives the following species with details as below:
*Elaeagnus indica* Servett. <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=3528&cat=7> (Syn: *Elaeagnus conferta* Roxb.) (*Endemic to Andhra pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu- Flower, fruit- March to June*) *Elaeagnus latifolia* L. <http://flora-peninsula-indica.ces.iisc.ac.in/herbsheet.php?id=3529&cat=7> (S-India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar [Burma] (Bago, Kachin, Kayin, Mandalay, Sagaing, Shan, Yangon), Malesia, Andamans (Middle Andamans, South Andamans), Nicobars (Central Nicobars, Great Nicobar Isl., Little Nicobar Isl.), Pakistan (I), Bangladesh as per Catalogue of Life <https://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/6f3d2a549ef2a738a8501cef36baed2b> - *Karnataka, Kerala, Orissa and Tamilnadu- Flower, fruit- November to March*) I could not find the difference between the two on net. Going by this (*Flower, fruit- November to March*), most of the observations in our site at *Elaeagnus conferta* Roxb. <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/e/elaeagnaceae/elaeagnus/elaeagnus-conferta> should be of *E. latifolia*. Can someone solve this mystery ? -- With regards, J.M.Garg 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1> Winner of Wipro-NFS Sparrow Awards 2014 for efloraofindia <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/award-for-efloraofindia>.
