All the photographs are of Hirda [T.chebulia]. The petiolar glands are clearly visible in photographs 2 & 3, albeit not very prominent. Sending a few of my photographs in which the glands a little more evident [photographs 1 & 4]. With regards, Neil Soares. --- On Fri, 4/27/12, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: From: Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:114774] gland or no gland on Terminalia chebula from Hooghly To: "surajit koley" <[email protected]> Cc: "efloraofindia" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, April 27, 2012, 7:16 AM Surajit ji I wonder, you may not have mixed up more than one tree. Your first photograph does look like Terminalia (853), but others taken at diiferent times have (2578, 79, 82, 86) look different to me. Terminalis bellirica has leaves clustered at tips of branches, they are mostly broader, obovate to broadly elliptic with mucronate tip. Your photographs show leaves distinctly narrowed at tip (acute to acuminate) and lateral veins 10-12 pairs, whereas they should be 6-8 pairs in Terminalia bellirica. The tree is often confused with Mahua (Madhuca latifolia) in which leaves are pointed at tip, leaves with 10 or more pairs of veins. Please recheck your trees. Your first photograph (and in that case others also if from same tree) I speculate may belong to T. chebula -- Dr. Gurcharan SinghRetired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
