 numbers in a dense shade of pine trees(dried leaves can be seen fallen on
 the subject). Normally very little sunlight reaches them. It caught my eye
 due to the bright red fruits, though there were no flowers. On peeling one
 of the fruits a sticky fluid came out. Please help with the ID.

This is not Cleistanthus collinus. In Cleistanthus the bark is at

bark does not have blotches. the leave does not resemble Cleistanthus.

it is Cistanche tubulosa-  a root parasite (i observed it growing on

  The spellings of this binomial is also worth consideration. The species is

 Dear friends,

 Requesting ID of Asteraceae plant growing at Vaghbil, Thane (Maharashtra).
 Habitat near creek side lining rice fields and mangrove.
 The erect much branched herb standing about a metre high, with slightly
 woody branches.

 Two sets of photos attached: (1) 17 NOV 09 and (2) 18 DEC 08.
 Number of photos too many ... hoping to make it easier for ID.

 Referencing Shrikant ji's FFOS, putting my own wild guess: *Lamprachaenium
 microcephalum* (quite a tongue-twisting genus name !!)

 Regards.

 I would go with E. antiquurum, because the angles are distinctly 3-winged,
 the wings are running almost straight. In E. tortilis the angles are not
 that promently winged, they are lobulate with stout paired spines on lobes,
 and most importantly the angles are spirally twisted like we have in E.
 neriifolia where of course the angles are not that prominents, and there are
 5 spiral rows.

   1. Stipular spines are hooked instead of straight.

   The plant matches with the description of C. horrida L. described in

I had seen the Mad tree at Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian
Botanical Garden, Howrah, it is Pterygota alata.

 People give very peculiar names to the plants based on their
 perception and sometimes these names continue their use in local
 language. Some times they even relate it to religion by attaching some
 god's name to it. Thats a way of local nomenclature. It does help a
 lot at time whereas creates confusion too. One such example is HABE
 AMRI, which is a broken, molested, marathi word for HABENARIA and
 nothign else according to me.

 The plant growing in Howrah Botanic Garden which is called Mad Tree is
 Chrysophyllum cainito. Bengalis also call it rasogulla tree, I imagine
 why dont they call it Gulab Jamun tree as the fruits are dark bluish
 brinjal or brown like a Gulab Jamun.

 Pterygota alata diversifolia is called Mad Tree or Buddha's coconut!!

  Someone has given me a hint that the leaves belong to a tree called the

  the plant was clicked from bangalore during my recent trip (24th
  August-30th August, 2010). it was drizzling and the temperature was around
  24-25 degree C. the branches bore a brown felt and the leaves were 
  glabrous.

  Flowers reddish in color and the fully opened inflorescence was of the
  size of a large fist. the flowers were slightly fragrant and pretty 
  fragile.

Cleistanthus collinus are commonly found at Chandrapur, Nagpur,
Bhandara. one can find monotonous stretch of Cleistanthus forest.
speciality of this forest is that  no under growth can thrive under
the canopy. the tree flowers during January- March. the fruit is used
as fish poison locally.
please see the attach pics (a separate mail) which I clicked during my
Biodiversity project
