Thank you... a new plant for me... Please take a look at this portal.. http://thewesternghats.in/speciespage/species/show/27821
(most of you perhaps know it already) ...they have a nice set of pictures... I have two questions: FIRST THE BARK CUT.. i see this often... what is it and why do it? does it harm the tree. do the botanists get prior permission to do this? SECOND question... what is the brown round stufff on the surface of the leaves that the site calls tomentose... ????
