Hi Dr.Mesta, Thanks for your comments. Have studied the flora of Matheran with Mr.B.G.Gavade [Dr.Almeida's student]. Don't think this is D.cordifolia which has strong often branched thorns scattered over the trunk and larger branches. Also don't think it is Govindu / Maskudal [D.montana]. Have it on my farm. Also have not figured out how you deduced this is a deciduous tree ? Regards, Neil Soares.

This plant appears to be deciduous and may be close to D. montana or D. cordifolia. -Divakar On Oct 27, 9:39 pm, Neil Soares <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Rashida, > This is Diospyros condolleana locally called Kalino. > Regards, > Neil. > > --- On Wed, 10/27/10, Rashida Atthar <[email protected]> wrote: > > From: Rashida Atthar <[email protected]> > Subject: [efloraofindia:52089] Request for ID - 271010RA1 > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, October 27, 2010, 8:44 PM > > Request ID of this tree with persistent calyx fruits.
