Nice Pictures! Not only the leaf bases are unequal but one side of the leaf is more or less *gibbous* (swollen on one side or humped). Here the second picture somewhat (more or less) shows that character. Further, small tree, 3-ribbed at leaf base, and smaller figs (usually about 0.6-0.9 cm in diameter) that are yellow when ripe scabrid (having a rough or scaly surface) are characters of F. gibbosa. Hence this species is *F. gibbosa *of Moraceae family. Again, according to the plant list the new name of *Ficus gibbosa* is* Ficus* *tinctoria* subsp. *gibbosa* (Blume) Corner.

Although the leaves look like Ficus parasitica, the figs are born on pendulous leafless branches. In Ficus parasitica in the figs are in the leaf axis mostly paired from a node (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/5494138338/). Therefore the plant in the picture is not Ficus parasitica.

Re: [efloraofindia:78798] 24052011pj1 Id request
Hi Dr.Giby Dr.Navendu, As I had stated previously, the tree in question here is Lagerstroemia lanceolata [L.microcarpa] locally called Seena / Bhondara. The photographs are not clear enough to comment on the colour / texture of the leaves. However the leaves are clearly lanceolate and the fruit capsules [seen in the second photograph] are large [about 2-3 by 1-2 cms]. The confusion may have arisen because you both are following Cooke's classification. I have written about this and it is available at this link : https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/76c8d509feb350ab/e33e4f0999680768?hl=enlnk=gstq=Lagerstroemia+parviflora+Neil+Soares#e33e4f0999680768 My previous photographs of L.parviflora [Nana] are also available in the archives of this site, but I will send a few more of my recent photographs in a separate mail for comparison.

Re: [efloraofindia:78801] 24052011pj1 Id request
@Neil: What you are saying could be correct. The leaves of what cook calls parviflora are indeed more lanceolate than those of what he calls lanceolata. However L. lanceolata was previously called L.microcarpa (tiny fruits) so the size of the fruit of this plant matches L. parviflora better (2-3 cm as against 1-1.5 cm) than L. lanceolata (L. microcarpa) That being said, I would still urge you and also others to validate Dr. Almeida's assertion and not just take his word for it.

[efloraofindia:78814] Photograph of the Month
Dear friends There are continuous efforts by Garg ji and moderators to see how interactions in the group increase, members maintain a high standard, and valuable information is added to the group database every month. The introduction of practice to honour the highest poster every month separately among moderators and rest of the members,and notifying top posters has definitely increased traffic in the group, and we are likely to achieve the distinction of second highest posts this month. We are also planning to nominate photograph of the month, like we have on Flowers of India website, but I want this with the participation of members. Starting from the 1st of September, members may keep a tag of photograph which looks best to them. They can go on adding more photographs to their list as they are uploaded by members, and at the end of the month pick up one photograph which each member thinks to be the best (by his/her judgement) and communicate it it two or three nominated members, who will compile votes and declare best photograph. We can keep dates 2-4 of next month for sending votes, and 5th for declaring the best photograph, which if possible (Dinesh ji and Garg ji can decide best way) can remain displayed on the website till photograph for next month is decided. Let us start this on experimental basis.

Prashantji, did you taken the picture near a water body? Am I confusing? please solve these queries.” from Muthu ji. “I think the leaves also do not belong to T. nudiflora. There is a distinct front venation of the leaves in T. nudiflora and not as cordate as seen in the pictures. regards, Rashida.” Agree with Rashida. This does not look like Trewia nudiflora. Sending a link to my photographs of T.nudiflora for comparison. https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/15958fe83e02/e3e6409c7fe7fc62?hl=enlnk=gstq=Trewia+nudiflora-+Neil+Soares#e3e6409c7fe7fc62; from Neil ji. Prashant ji, I appreciate your keen observation. I am seeing pictures of this (female) tree for the first time but can say that this is female plant of T. nudiflora. Globose woody fruits with 3 yellow styles can be seen on long stout peduncles. The leaves also tally though Rashida ji and Neil ji seem to differ. The other tree posted in another post is a male tree of the same sp. clearly showing flowers with stamens in pedulous racemes. The female tree is fruiting so the male tree had to be around, good you got both together. Why not search for another Trewia polycarpa which has female flowers in racemes and the fruits are 8 mm, ovoid instead of 3 cm, globose as in T. nudiflora. I have been searching for this tree for last several years. Keep it up. Regards, Shrikant Just to put things in perspective. The leaves of Prashant's tree dont look anything like this. Sending photographs of 2 of my Trewia nudiflora trees at my farm at Shahapur.

Size of the fruiting body -upto 6cms, granite black color, tiny white spots - iridescent. I think the fruit bodies are flask-shaped. Abundance - 30 nos. Dead stump picture taken from 9 meters distant. Thick vegetation, darkness, slope/elevation the leeches prevented us reaching the tree. So no closeup picture. It appears, these fungi closely relates to Dead Man's Fingers fungus or the Candle-snuff Fungus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylaria // In Bhagamandala, we colligated this black fungi to black leech sticks, very well disguised in the darkness of the tree bark. Add to it the dark woods behind. Imagine- we go close to the tree, the leech stick come alive rain on us... Thanks a lot for the Id help!

Re: [efloraofindia:78855] Re: fungii for id 30 08 2011 mm1
Thanks for all the information Kiran Srivastava added some more interesting information which he got from a photograph that he had posted earlier 'Some fungus have a mycorrhizal relationship with trees. This special relationship means that the fungus wraps its mycelia around tree roots. The fungus then gives the tree special nutrients from the soil that it couldn’t get by itself. This helps the tree stay healthy and strong. In return, the fungus can pull different nutrients from the tree roots that it would not get on its own. Therefore the fungus and tree help each other. Mycelia: The vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a mass of branching, threadlike hyphae. Mycorrhizal relationship is same as symbiotic relationship i.e., Like we see between Langurs and Chital deer.' Sindhu Ramchandran from Pune replied thus: Good Info..the photo you have posted is of cauliflower mushroom. Ecology: growing from the roots or bases of trees; Sparassis (also known as cauliflower mushrooms) is a genus of parasitic mushrooms characterised by their unique look. Its look can be described as similar to a sea sponge, a brain, or a head of cauliflower, from which it has been given its popular name. regards mohina

Dear Dr. Balkar Singh, Many thanks for the photographs. The leaves have a very interesting shape. What term do you use to describe the leaf shape? Is the leaf shape characteristic of this species of Plumeria? Regards, Mohan
