The mails on eflora are really a recreation for me. Infact I had asked to close my account because it becomes practicaly impossible to check more than 100mails a day many a times. I tired all other options too. But the live discussion along with photos is a marvel on earth. Due to various posts I hold, it is becomming difficult for me to go to fields, but the beautiful photos are satisfying all my needs of eyes. I am really thankful to every member of eflora for such beautiful photographs and so much intellectual input through discussions, identifications that I miss a lot if I donot read mails on eflora. Once again I request all to excuse me for further 5 years for less input in mail story teller group as the tenure is for 5 years. But I will surely read the mails everyday.

According to Cooke, of the two species found in India, only one of the 10 species from this genus has been reported to occur in main-land India while the other species, *A. tectorius* is endemic to the Andaman Islands. While he mentions it to be 'pretty common in the Ghats', it is endangered and endemic to the Western Ghats. Recent findings that the species *A. korupensis* has potential anti-AIDS activity had led to interest in this genus. Unfortunately, while this finding is a good news for humans, its a sad news for this genus as this will now probably be exploited. Sadly was unable to take photos of the leaves as there were at a height and in a direction which didn't allow proper photography.

Re: [efloraofindia:65057] Euphorbiaceae Week- Putranjivaceae : Putranjiva roxburghii Wall.
Satish ji, I think the flowers as seen in the first and last pictures are male. There is a distinction in the pedicels length and pattern and number of flowers of male and female. The male are yellowish, shortly pedicellate crowded, in rounded axillary clusters on the main or on short axillary branches. Female flowers are solitary or 2 to 3 together , greenish, in an axil, pedicels 8 -10 mm long. Drupes: 1-2 cm long, ellipsoid, rounded or pointed at the apex narrowed at the base, white-tomentose, with pedicles 1- 2.5 cm long; stone pointed, rugose, very hard.

[efloraofindia:65066] Re: TREE ID REQUEST
Hello, I have seen Bridelia berries at all stages and have eaten them too. They are quite sweet when ripe. I am confident that the tree in picture is not Bridelia. It neither seems to be Lagerstroemia as the leaves donot seem to be opposite. I may be incorrect about Lagerstroemia. On Mar 16, 9:04 pm, vj vijay.dhasm...@gmail.com wrote: Could it be lagerstroemia? On Mar 15, 6:24 pm, Rashida Atthar atthar.rash...@gmail.com wrote: Nudrat ji the picture above may or may not be Bridelia. But the black berries of Bridelia retusa take time to turn black, before that they are of various colours- grey- green, green, yellowish, half green yellow maroon and than turn black . Infact, most of the time I have seen them in unripe form only. You may check my pictures of the same posted last week. regards, Rashida.
