Hi Dr. Giby, According to Dr. Almeida's 'Flora of Maharashtra', Vol. 4 - B, pg.295, the drupes of B.stipularis are "ellipsoid-oblong". The same is corroborated by Yadav & Sardesai in their 'Flora of Kholapur District". Please check. With regards, Neil Soares. --- On Mon, 6/18/12, Giby Kuriakose <[email protected]> wrote:
