Wrightia arborea - seed dispersal: Photographed at my farm at Shahapur over the last few months.
Wrightia arborea flowering: Photographed at my farm at Shahapur today. Was finally able to locate a few flowers on one of my trees.
Had recently posted photographs of this tree - they are available at this link: https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/dc...
Tree with off white flowers: Place of shoot- Panjab University Botanical Gardens, Chandigarh
Date and Time- 5th July, 2011, 7:15 am habit- tree leaves simple as shown flowers-white or off white turn brown as they wither as shown in photograph, fruits not seen Affirmative. This is Tambda Kuda [Wrightia arborea]. My photographs of the flowers and fruit of this tree are available in the archives of this group. It may be W. arborea,, cant guess by this photo, require more photos, especially pod, but sure Wrightia from Apocynaceae. Agree with .. ..., the range of flower color varies from white to pinkish (sometimes looks pinkish-orange). Will post my images showing the color variation. Wrightia arborea @ Tungareshwar: Beautiful pictures of Wrightia arborea! Thanks for sharing and showing the color variation.
Wrightia tinctoria: The attach plant is Wrightia tinctoria of Apocynaceae, recorded from my home town Warud from Maharashtra. what a nice illustration... of sweet indrajav *Wrightia tinctoria * that you just presented..., I recently spotted Holarrhena pubescens, the regular indrajav in a local garden.... may be they both flower and fruit at the same time? I need to go back and check for the fruits as they set in.... can you also look out for the seedpods in a months time may be.... Wrightia tinctoria is a glabrous plant. This should be either W. arborea or W. pubescens. Not W.tinctoria. May be other species of Wrightia. Please check the characteristic fruits, which are long and joined at the end even when the fruit dehisces. Leaves are quite different in W.t. The fruit about which ... is saying is visible in this film. http://www.youtube.com/user/pankajoudhia#p/a/u/2/8tiQhCZKtOQ As per FoC, W. arborea has corona shorter than anthers. So this plant (corona longer than anthers) may qualify to W. pubescens. But I need some inputs from you all.......... pictures in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wrightia_tinctoria_in_Hyderabad_W2_IMG_7504_.jpg) have pubescens on leaves & inflorescence. But they are glabrous in these links: http://www.travelpod.com/travel-photo/indianature/20/1277805894/8_sgnp-june.jpg/tpod.html & http://www.flickr.com/photos/21123120@N07/4682475892/in/photostream/#/ Another link for W. pubescens (?).. http://www.flickr.com/photos/phuonglovejesus2782010/5543230704/in/photostream/ .... ...here the corona is completely different from the posted picture here. And I have questions also about the distribution of W.pubescens in India (and MH). Let's explore further... Thanks ..., for the response. The following links provide keys to different species of Wrightia: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=134988 (Fl.China) http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=134988 (Fl.Pakistan) Yes it is W.arborea its a Wrightia arborea Please see my post for W. arborea. Need time to comment on the images in this thread but they are not W.arborea. Please refer to ... observations above (corona longer than anthers) and the leaves are also pubescent but this characteristic is not well seen in these images. ..., we have W. pubescens in Mahaharashtra. Even though the leaves in the posted pictures are resembling that of Wrightia pubescens, the corollary corona as well as the petals are somewhat (rather clearly) differ from the ones in the following links. And I don't think it can be a variation: http://www.biotik.org/laos/species/w/wripu/wripu_en.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/53395767@N03/5543230704 Let's re-search further... Firstly ..., I stand corrected on Wrightia pubescens distribution. It is not reported from Maharashtra (confirmed by Shrikant Ingalhalikar) and not mentioned in Flora Maharashtra by M.R. Almeida. I also agree with your observation on corollary corona looking distinctly different. Will have to wait a little while longer for the matter to resolve. Please apply FoC keys and let us know the possible answer(s). I have applied FoC keys and another (and with available information in posted images plus from my own collection) I keep coming back to W. pubescens despite of the fact that it has so far not been reported from our region.

Captured this Wrightea arborea in SGNP, Mumbai in July 2013.
7 posts by 3 authors. Requesting to please ID this tree captured at SGNP, Mumbai in September 2013. Wrightia arborea. This does not look like Wrightia arborea to me. Please send a few more photographs. Thanks for the feedback and the reference links... Unfortunately, I do not have any further photographs of that same tree, but I do recollect that the leaves were soft to touch. I am also attaching a cropped pic of the pods from the above photographs, if it helps.... This is definitely Wrightia arborea. Did not notice any pod[s] in the original photograph. Don't think the 2 photographs are of the same tree.Both the photographs belong to the same tree, the angle though is different..
