Thank you Saroj ji, Paradesi ji. Checked the references given in EFI website: [ref1] Flora of Guntur District <https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Flora_of_Guntur_District_Andhra_Pradesh/1kHNgLyXbJUC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Ziziphus%20xylopyrus&pg=PA98&printsec=frontcover&bsq=Ziziphus%20rugosa> [ref2] Flora of Eastern Ghats <https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Flora_of_Eastern_Ghats/pSXidQZupHYC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Ziziphus%20glabrata%20%2B%20india&pg=PA281&printsec=frontcover&bsq=Ziziphus%20rugosa%20%2B%20india>
As per [ref1], Z. rugosa is woody, armed straggler; thorns stout; branchlets rusty-tomentose; leaves orbicular, broadly elliptic, 8-15 x 5-10 cm, glabrous above, woolly below, obtuse, serrulate, base subcordate. As per [ref2] Z. rugosa is an armed woody straggler, up to 6m tall. Leaves orbicular-rotund, 4-6 x 2.5-5 cm, 5-nerved, base cordate, margin serrulate, apex rotund. In the photos, I couldn't find thorns, and the leaves don't seem (to my untrained eyes) woolly below (only [ref1] mentions woolly). I missed checking for both these details in the field. The leaves are not 5-nerved (only [ref2] mentions it). I also checked Z. glabrata, as it is mentioned as unarmed in both the references. As per [ref1], Z. glabrata is unarmed tree, up to 8m tall; leaves ovate to oblong-elliptic, 4-7 x 2.5-5 cm, glabrous or pubescent on the nerves beneath, obtuse or acute, crenate, base obtuse. As per [ref2], Z. glabrata is unarmed tree, up to 8m tall; wood brown; branchlets tomentose. Leaves ovate, elliptic, or elliptic-oblong, 3-7.5 x 2.3-5 cm, glabrous, white woolly-tomentose beneath when young, base obtuse-subcordate, apex acute or crenate, petiole 3-9 mm. In this case also, I couldn't make out the pubescent/tomentose nature from the photos. Checked a few other Z. species, but they don't seem to match -- in those other species, either the leaves are hairy, or the nerves don't meet (in Z. caracatta). I am completely new to all these details, and not sure how to conclude if it is Z. rugosa. :-) Thank you. -Arvindh On Thu, May 13, 2021 at 9:39 PM Paradesi Anjaneyulu < [email protected]> wrote: > Check with Z. rugosa Arvindh Ji, > with regards. > > > > [image: Mailtrack] > <https://mailtrack.io?utm_source=gmail&utm_medium=signature&utm_campaign=signaturevirality5&;> > Sender > notified by > Mailtrack > <https://mailtrack.io?utm_source=gmail&utm_medium=signature&utm_campaign=signaturevirality5&;> > 05/13/21, > 09:37:33 PM > > On Thu, 13 May 2021 at 18:07, Saroj Kasaju <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Yes ! >> Thank you. >> >> Saroj Kasaju >> >> >> On Thu, May 13, 2021 at 6:19 PM Ms. Tamil <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Date: 2021/May/09 >>> Location: Varathamanathi Dam, Palani, Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu >>> >>> May I know the ID of this plant?
