(Annonaceae). Have seen this tree at Pakke Tiger Reserves (E. Kameng distt., Arunachal Pradesh). Ripened fruits are liked by the Hornbills. Could be Polyalthia simiarum (=Guatteria simiarum). Thank you very much for the ID. Locally it is known as Lapshi. Tender shoots, leaves and seeds are used by the primate species of this area. Do you know any local name of this in AP. Thanks for the information ... In East Kameng area of Arunachal, people call it 'Kaari'. References: A conspectus of Indo-Burmese Annonaceae by I. M. Turner (2015) |
