Thanks, Garg ji. My thoughts: Number of stamens in *T. pentandra* is not always 5 ... It could be more, is what I have been seeing. The mentioned *efi thread* <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/indiantreepix/Triumfetta$20AND$20rhomboidea/indiantreepix/8sYPclpzsew> does not compare shape and size of fruits. In case of *T. pentandra*, the fruits are ovoid, and in case of *T. rhomboidea* - globular. The posted plant has ovoid fruits.
I will keep the posted plant's observation labelled as *T. rhomboidea*. Regards. Dinesh On Friday, 2 June 2023 at 17:21:52 UTC+5:30 JM Garg wrote: > This is Triumfetta rhomboidea only.
