Although these taller umbellifers can be identified mainly on the basis of
fruits, but looking at the leaflets it seems Suresh ji may be right. In
both species of Angelica (A. glauca and A. archangelica subsp. himalaica)
the leaflets are serrated, here they seem to be various cut.

Looks more similar to Ligusticum thomsonii

  Nov and Dec 2011

 Sharing images of Artocarpus heterophyllus at a private society at Pune

 Family Moraceae

 Common name Jackfruit

 Separate male and female inflorescences are borne on the same tree.

 3 types of footstalks or inflorescence bearing special leafy twigs are
 produced on a tree in each flowering season

  TYPE 1: produces only male spikes and this is the first to appear in the
 flowering season. They occur mainly on the terminal shoots and branches of
 the tree’s crown and also in the main stem.  About 10-15 spikes are borne
 on each footstalk.

  TYPE 2 bears only female spikes 1-3 on each footstalk. They are formed on
 the main trunk and in some cases as low as 50 cm above ground level. This
 footstalk is fewer in no as compared to type 1. Virtually all develop into
 fruit if pollinated

  TYPE 3 produces both male and female spikes and spikes are borne on the
 main trunk  or on main branches nearer to the main trunk. Female spikes are
 few in no 1-3 and are borne in the proximal leaf axils of the footstalk.
 Male spikes are also few in this type. Only few 1-2 develop into fruit

  Whereas male and female inflorescences are similar during early
 development, the female spike is later distinguished by a thicker peduncle
 and a large annular disc at the base of the spike. Also female
 inflorescence buds are shorter and stouter whereas male inflorecence buds
 are longer and slender.

 When  young,  both  male  and  female spikes  are  enclosed  by  a pair
 of spathe-like stipules which eventually  fall  off and leave  a prominent
 annular scar  on  the node.

  The male spike has many densely crowded flowers, which may be sterile or
 fertile. The sterile male flower has a solid perianth: the fertile male
 flower is tubular and bilobed The individual flower has a single, 12-
 mm-long stamen and four yellow anthers . Flowers are scented. The male
 spikes gradually turn black after dehiscence due to growth of mould and
 drop after about a week

  Female spikes have numerous female flowers. Each flower has a stout
 fleshy receptacle with a white clauvate stigma. Flowers are odorous

 I think the tree was affected by some white fungus.

 I noticed a strange thing ,another plant was growing on this tree .pic
 attached. The same plant was planted in pots next to this tree.

  Nov and Dec 2011

 Sharing images of Artocarpus heterophyllus at a private society at Pune

 Family Moraceae

 Common name Jackfruit

 Separate male and female inflorescences are borne on the same tree.

 3 types of footstalks or inflorescence bearing special leafy twigs are
 produced on a tree in each flowering season

  TYPE 1: produces only male spikes and this is the first to appear in the
 flowering season. They occur mainly on the terminal shoots and branches of
 the tree’s crown and also in the main stem.  About 10-15 spikes are borne
 on each footstalk.

  TYPE 2 bears only female spikes 1-3 on each footstalk. They are formed
 on the main trunk and in some cases as low as 50 cm above ground level.
 This footstalk is fewer in no as compared to type 1. Virtually all develop
 into fruit if pollinated

  TYPE 3 produces both male and female spikes and spikes are borne on the
 main trunk  or on main branches nearer to the main trunk. Female spikes are
 few in no 1-3 and are borne in the proximal leaf axils of the footstalk.
 Male spikes are also few in this type. Only few 1-2 develop into fruit

  Whereas male and female inflorescences are similar during early
 development, the female spike is later distinguished by a thicker peduncle
 and a large annular disc at the base of the spike. Also female
 inflorescence buds are shorter and stouter whereas male inflorecence buds
 are longer and slender.

 When  young,  both  male  and  female spikes  are  enclosed  by  a pair
 of spathe-like stipules which eventually  fall  off and leave  a prominent
 annular scar  on  the node.

  The male spike has many densely crowded flowers, which may be sterile or
 fertile. The sterile male flower has a solid perianth: the fertile male
 flower is tubular and bilobed The individual flower has a single, 12-
 mm-long stamen and four yellow anthers . Flowers are scented. The male
 spikes gradually turn black after dehiscence due to growth of mould and
 drop after about a week

  Female spikes have numerous female flowers. Each flower has a stout
 fleshy receptacle with a white clauvate stigma. Flowers are odorous

 I think the tree was affected by some white fungus.

 I noticed a strange thing ,another plant was growing on this tree .pic
 attached. The same plant was planted in pots next to this tree.

Nidhan ji thank you for sharing such a beautiful *Tricarpelema *J. K.
Morton and your guess is right, this is Commelinaceae member.
Exactly could not say the species, because this genus having great
diversity in NE India,.
Total 8 species, only 1 species was found in Africa while remaining 8
are
distributed through NE India to the Philippines and Borneo.

Thank you once again for adding one more genus in eflora database,

Nitesh ji

To understand this you have to first understand what rank we are giving to
the three subfamilies

1. If we treat legumes in the broader sense including all three subfamilies
under a single family then the two alternate names are Leguminosae and
Fabaceae.

2. On the other hand if all the three are to be upgraded as families, the
three applicable names are Fabaceae (including only members  of subfamily
Faboideae or Papilionoideae), Caesalpiniaceae (including members of
Casesalpinioideae) and Mimosaceae (members of Mimosoideae). Then the two
alternate names at family level would be Fabaceae and Papilionaceae (and
not Leguminosae). I think that makes things clear.

It is true that the two are often confused, some websites even listing them
as synonyms, but the two are quite distinct in petals, Dissotis
rotundifolia having 5 petals as against 4 in Schizocentron elegans (now
correctly Heterocentron elegans). Obviously Prashant ji's plant has five
petals in all flowers, and should be Dissotis rotundifolia.

 Although these taller umbellifers can be identified mainly on the

 right. In both species of Angelica (A. glauca and A. archangelica

 various cut. 
 
 
 Looks more similar to Ligusticum thomsonii

Many many many thanks Nidhan ji and Prashant ... there are very good
chances that this be the mustard plant, *Brassica juncea* (family:

mustard seeds added as spice. The leaves at this stage of growth may look
different from what it would in a mature plant.

Dear Pravin ji,

Yesterday, i too was at Prabalgad. I came across a group while taking a
traverse from Kalawantin towards Prabal. I am not sure if U were in that
group..

W.r.t. this plant, i feel this is some  *Asteraceae* sp. Check for Vernonia
divergens?? This is just a guess..

Agree with Prashant, indeed *Vernonia divergens* (family: Asteraceae),
locally known as *bundar* ... please validate if बंदर makes sense ...
always have wondered why such a name.
