Native to: China, eastern Asia, Indian subcontinent, Indo-China, Malesia, northern Australia, south-western Pacific

A medium sized tree with minutely hairy branches; leaves obovate to elliptic-ovate, up to 12 cm long, base rounded or cuneate; petiole 2-5 cm long; flowers in dichotomously branched corymbose cymes, terminating branches; male flowers shallowly 5-lobed calyx; corolla campanulate, 5-6 mm long; bosexual flowers larger with calyx accrescent in fruit; fruit a drupe, up to 15 mm, yellowish red, with sticky pulp.

Edible use:
... the unripe fruits (as VEGETABLE) pickled in Konkan (and elsewhere in s-e Asia)
... the ripe fruits (as FRUIT) in rural area of Konkan
 
The wood is ideal for producing fire by friction.-----It is very durable and is said to have been used for making the Egyptian mummy cases 
 
As per efi thread :
Here is a key for distinguishing the species
1. Corolla white.....................................................2

2. Fruiting calyx not ribbed....................................3
3. Filament hairy at base; Fruit up to 2.5 cm...........
C. dichotoma
3. Filament glabrous; Fruit up to 1.2 cm long..........C. sinensis
2. Fruiting calyx ribbed ...........................................C. domestica

1. Corolla orange......................................................4
4. Leaves rough; Ripe fruit white..............................C. Sebestena
4. Leaves not rough; Ripe fruit brown.....................C. subcordata 

There has been a confusion between these species. We have included all our observations under Cordia dichotoma.
Let us explore whether they are the same or different. If different, what are the differences?
POWO and Catalogue of Life consider them to be different., although at some point Catalogue of Life considered them to be the same as per details at GBIF (which relies on Catalogue of Life).
I could not find the difference between the two except at Flora of Pakistan. Here are the keys:
2 (1)Calyx not ribbed, glabrous 2 Cordia myxa
+Calyx ribbed, minutely pubescent to tomentose (3) for other species including Cordia dichotoma
Let us examine the detailed descriptions:
Cordia myxa L.:
A deciduous tree 3-5 m tall. Young shoots and branches with a rusty pubescence, glabrate at length. Leaves 6-12.5 x 43-8.2 cm, suborbicular. elliptic-ovate to oblong-ovate, 3-nerved, acute or obtuse, subentire to sinuate-crenate or dentate, glabrous to dense tomentose on under surface, base cuneate to rounded. Petiole 2.5-4.3 cm long. Flowers not seen. Drupe 20 mm long, ovoid, apiculate, brownish-yellow, base partly surrounded by the enlarged, ± broadly cupular calyx.
Fl. Per.: March-April.
Distribution: Pakistan, India Sri-Lanka.
Cultivated and sometimes found as an escape. The pulpy drupe is edible.
Habit: Tree 6–12 m. tall, sometimes rather twisted, with young stems hairy but soon glabrous, older with circular petiolar scars.
Leaves: Leaves broadly ovate to subcircular, or sometimes obovate, 3–18 cm. long, 3–20 cm. wide, rounded to cordate or cuneate at the base, rounded to shortly obtusely acuminate at the apex, entire or repand-dentate, subcoriaceous, glabrous above, glabrous to ± densely pubescent beneath or even velvety; petiole 0.6–3.5 cm. long, glabrous or sparsely hairy.
Inflorescences: Cymes in terminal lax panicles, often on short lateral branches, 3–8.5 cm. long, 2–7 cm. wide, axes glabrous to sparsely pubescent; pedicels 1–2 mm. long, articulate at the apex.
Flowers: Female:calyx tubular-campanulate, 6–8.5 mm. long, irregularly 3–4-toothed, glabrous outside save for tips of lobes, densely pubescent inside; corolla-tube 4.5–6.5 mm. long; lobes 4–6, elliptic to obovate, 5–7 mm. long, 2.5–3.5 mm. wide, reflexed and rolled up; stamens with filaments 1.5–2.5 mm. long, ± pubescent; anthers sterile; ovary ellipsoid or obovoid, 2.5–3.5 mm. long, 2–2.7 mm. wide; style exserted, 8–9 mm. long, deeply divided into 4 stigmatic branches 4–5 mm. long, flattened and subfoliaceous with irregular or erose-denticulate margins. Male:calyx campanulate, 4.5–5.5 mm. long, 3-lobed, glabrous outside, pubescent to tomentose at apex inside; corolla white; tube 3.5–4.5 mm. long; lobes 5, elliptic, 5 mm. long, 2 mm. wide, reflexed; stamens exserted, the filaments 1.5–3.5 mm. long, hairy at the base; ovary rudimentary and style absent.
Fruits: Fruit yellow, apricot or blackish, ovoid, (1.2–)2–3.5 cm. long, apiculate, held in the accrescent campanulate calyx (0.7–1 cm. long, 1.2–1.5(–2) cm. wide), which is ± obscurely lobed or subtruncate; pulp mucilaginous and sweet; endocarp broadly ellipsoid or ± globose, ± 1.2 cm. long, 1 cm. wide, deeply rugose, 4-locular but only 1 seed developing.
Habitat: Naturalised in coastal and other bushland and cultivated; 0–1050 m.

Cordia dichotoma Forster. f.:
A polygamo-dioecious tree up to 15 m tall. Branchlets pubescent. Leaves 5-8 x 1.5-3.0 cm, elliptic-ovate to obovate, pubescent, especially on the under-surface, margin sometimes undulate, base cuneate to oblique or rounded. Petiole up to 3.0 cm long. Flowers in dichotomous cymes, ebracteate. Male flowers: Calyx c. 2.5 mm long, shallowly 5-lobed, hairy to the inside. Corolla campanulate, c. 6 mm long, tube about equalling the limb, dense hairy within. Lobes oblanceolate or broadly so, recurved. Filaments c. 4.5 mm, lower half hairy and adnate to tube; anthers 2.5-3 mm long; bisexual flowers: similar but larger than male flowers. Calyx 5-6 mm long, campanulate, accrescent and up to 10 mm in fruit. Filaments c. 2 mm long. Style branched. Drupe up to 15 mm broad, yellowish-red.
Fl. Per.: March-April.
Distribution: Pakistan, Kashmir, India, S. China, Taiwan, Indo-China, New Caledonia & N.E. Australia.
Trees 3-4(-20) m tall. Petiole 2-5 cm; leaf blade ovate to broadly ovate or elliptic, 6-13 × 4-9 cm, sparsely pubescent or glabrous, base rounded to broadly cuneate, margin usually subundulate to undulate dentate, rarely entire, apex obtuse to mucronate. Inflorescences terminating leafy lateral branches, dichotomously branched into corymbose cymes, widely spaced, 5-8 cm wide. Flowers dimorphic, sessile. Calyx campanulate, 5-6 mm, 5-lobed; lobes unequal, triangular. Corolla white, ca. as long as calyx; lobes shorter than tube, margin somewhat undulate. Filaments of staminate flowers ca. 3.5 mm, filaments of bisexual flowers 1-2 mm. Rudimentary pistil globose. Style united portion 1-1.5 mm, first branches ca. 1 mm, second branches 2-3 mm; stigma spatulate. Drupes yellow or reddish, subglobose, 1-1.5 cm in diam., with sticky mesocarp, surrounded by persistent calyx. Fl. Feb-Apr, fr. Jun-Aug.
Open woods on slopes, mountain streamsides. Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Taiwan, SE Xizang, Yunnan [Cambodia, N India, Indonesia, Japan (Ryukyu Islands), Kashmir, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam; NE Australia, Pacific Islands]
On checking all the images, the crucial difference appears to be glabrous calyx in Cordia myxa in comparison to non-glabrous calyx in Cordia dichotoma.
The following on net seems to match with Cordia myxa (mostly fruiting images- I am not sure if the calyx become glabrous by that time, except for one small flowering image, in which it is difficult to observe glabrous nature of the calyx correctly)
Following of our posts may be of Cordia myxa (mostly fruiting images- I am not sure if the calyx become glabrous by that time):
However, I strongly feel this minor difference does not warrant a separate species status. And it is better to keep them together under Cordia dichotoma
Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
yes … your observation is very correct, hence both are treated same, only in some outdated floras it is given separately

Cordia myxa flowers: these are the flowers of Cordia myxa. the flowers open during night and are insect pollinated probably.... clicked from; Please note that the stigma has two lobes and each lobe is bifid again. though not clear in the photograph but this is the case.

-  Looking at the descriptions and illustrations of Flora of Delhi, eFlora of Pakistan and eFlora of China, I have a feeling that our C. myxa (Lassora) may be C. dichotoma only, common in plains in North India. eFlora of Pakistan differentiates C. dichotoma from C. myxa in its narrower leaves and cuneate base, but if we have a look at illustration of C. dichotoma in eFlora of China and the photograph at FOI, the leaves are much broader and rounded at base. All our specimens may be C. dichotoma only. You may please check it further.
- Some more links to suggest that our C. myxa (non C. myxa L.) , Lasura and C. dichotoma are the same species, with C. dichotoma as accepted name for our plant.

- Perhaps .. can throw some light on this. A relation of us was sent one bag full of leaves of this plant (Lassora). Four leaves of this are to be boiled in 2 glasses in water, one cardamom (moti elaichi), boil till it reduces to one eighth, allow it to cool and drink when it is luke warm. lie down covering your self with sheet for one hour. Repeat this once a day for four days. It is supposed to cure joint pains. I want some one to throw light on this.

- It is effective but if it fails then more herbs can be added one by one up to 65 herbs in order to make the decoction more effective gradually. There are some restrictions also. Patients with Leucoderma (Vitiligo) and Kidney related troubles are advised to take this decoction under supervision of experts.

Cordia dichotoma from Coimbatore:  Very beautiful capture, the most amazing thing for me is, this tree is common here, I am still to find it blooming.
It has no flowers on the first visit, the other day we go, we find the plant fruiting... I have to keep a strict vigil to capture flowers... thanks for sharing.

How do you differentiate between cordia myxa and cordia dichotoma ?
You missed the flowers by few weeks.
where did you take these pictures in Lalbagh?
In lalbagh cordia myxa/dichotoma can be found near the rock, near the lake, and in the car park.
Here is my note from an earlier thread
"Cordia myxa L., and Cordia dichotoma Forst as such are distinct species. 
The problem arose that the name C. myxa was also used for plants from India, which is same as C. obliqua Willd., a name adopted in Flora of British India. This plant is now correctly known C. dichotoma Forst.
The plant should be cited as:
Cordia dichotoma Forst.
syn: Cordia obliqua Willd.; C. myxa auct. (non L.); C. indica Lam.; C. latifolia Roxb.
Cordia myxa L. is a distinct plant now understood to be confined to Asia minor and Egypt"
These pictures were taken a little further to the tree we were trying to identify the other day. Ahead of the huge Ficus mysorensis.
I am not too familiar with Lalbagh. Visited the place after many years.
Not near the lake or the car park.

 

Nice photographs, but this is also Cordia dichotoma. Cordia myxa is a synonym of Cordia dichotoma. My photographs of this are available in the archives of this group.
Thanks ... There is a name plate in Lalbagh, so I kept them separate.
I could never differentiate between myxa and dichotama.
Though there are wiki pages for each of them.
According to Flora of Pakistan Cordia dichotoma ( 5-8 x 1.5-3.0 cm ) differs from Cordia myxa (6-12.5 x 43-8.2 cm) in the narrower and thinner leaves, which are not subcordate at the base and smaller drupes; also calyx is ribbed and hairy in former, not in latter. I wonder if both can be found in India.


Indian cherry is a small to moderate-sized deciduous tree with a short bole and spreading crown.  
The stem bark is greyish brown, smooth or longitudinally wrinkled.
Flowers are short-stalked, bisexual and white in colour, appear in loose corymbose cymes. The flowers open only at night. The fruit is a yellow or pinkish-yellow shining globose or ovoid drupe seated in a saucer-like enlarged calyx. It turns black on ripening and the pulp gets viscid.  
Indian cherry grows in the sub-Himalayan tract and outer ranges, ascending up to about 1500 m elevation.
It is found in a variety of forests ranging from the dry deciduous forests of Rajasthan to the moist deciduous forests of Western Ghats and tidal forests in Myanmar. In Maharashtra, it grows in moist monsoon forest also.

SYMBIOSIS :218:   Attaching an image of female of a Koel eating fruit of Cordia myxa. There are two trees at this area. About a month back both the trees were having lots of fruits on them. I used to go regularly, under those trees to record the birds relishing the fruits. At last I could record only one event. With so many fruits, I thought Bulbuls, Barbets, Mynas, Koels will visit these trees. I don't know why birds don't like these fruits.
This tree is important to me as it connected me to Shri DCS Raju. I am not a botanist, but I am highly impressed by the type work this gentleman has done.

Hooghly Today : Cordia myxa L. ???
 : 12 images. 3 posts by 2 authors.
I found this 9 ft. small tree beside a road, growing under the dense shade of other much bigger trees. Though it is small, i think it cannot be called a shrub.
I faced some trying time to get my camera focused on the subject and finally succeeded to capture a few recognizable photographs. 
Affirmative. This is Bhokar [Cordia dichotoma]. Some of my photographs of this are available at this link:

Thank you very much ... I will be also monitoring this tree to see its fruits.

Plant ID: please ID this plant species
This is Bhokar [Cordia dichotoma, Cordia myxa]. Please check the archives of this site for my photographs of this.

I am seen your photograph.
Some body comment your photo. He is cordia dichtoma. It is totally wrong indentification in species level. But correct in genes level. It is cordia genes. Species is differ from dicotoma
It is my suggestion. Below the identification.
Phtograph No . 1 - Cordia gharaf
It is very common in gujrat. From kutch to Dang district. 
Phtograph No. 2 . - Cordia gharaf
It is very important character is terminal and axillary cymes flower.
Phtograph No 3 - Cordia gharaf
It is same to photo 3.
yes i too think it is cordia garaf
i too have seen the same in Nashik, Maharashtra
Yes Cordia dichotoma
It is indeed Cordia species but the leaves are quite different; the fruit also not very similar to Cordia dichotoma. Let us wait for some more comments
Yes Cordia dichotoma affirmative

This tree was photographed in South Dinajpur of West Bengal. Local villagers claim fancifully that there are only a handful of these trees in India. Is curious to know which is this tree.
looks like Cordia myxa
efi page on Cordia dichotoma 
As per Singh ji:
"Cordia myxa L., and Cordia dichotoma Forst as such are distinct species
     The problem arose that the name C. myxa was also used for plants from India, which is same as C. obliqua Willd., a name adopted in Flora of British India. This plant is now correctly known C. dichotoma Forst.
The plant should be cited as:
Cordia dichotoma Forst. syn: Cordia obliqua Willd.; C. myxa auct. (non L.); C. indica Lam.; C. latifolia Roxb.
    Cordia myxa L. is a distinct plant now understood to be confined to Asia minor and Egypt
"

This looks like Cordia myxa to me too. 
According to Pradip Krishen's new book 'Jungle Trees of Central India' [which is fairly well researched and presented] : 
- C.myxa is the accepted name and C.dichotoma is a synonym.
- it closely resembles C.obliqua in the field, though C. obliqua is a smaller tree with larger, broader usually non-toothed leaves and larger fruit.  
My photographs of C.myxa are available at these links : 
My photographs of C.obliqua [though wrongly labelled] are available at this link : 
Google Groups
It is Cordia dichotoma - common tree fruits during July,
seeds used in medicine (Lasoda), sticky fruit pulp is eaten by local people.
Seems to be Cordia myxa.
Attached herewith the KEY in Bengal Plants. Illustrations of both species can be found at-

Thank you and regards
I thank all those who responded. But with due respect I may point out that it is not cordia digitata (Lasoda) which is fairly common in parks of Delhi.
I am not sure about cordia myxa. I have seen the photos of this tree on internet and there appears to be no similarity between the photos of my tree and cordia myxa.
I await further comments from botanists before classifying it in my database.

Mhow Indore Madhya Pradesh: Request for Species Id.5 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2)
Location Mhow Tehsil Indore District Madhya Pradesh
Is this Bada risalla/ Broad leaved Sebestan/ Cordia obliqua or Risalla/ Sebestan Plum/ Cordia myxa ?

It seems to be Cordia myxa
efi page on Cordia dichotoma (syn. Cordia obliqua Willd.);
As per ...:
"Cordia myxa L., and Cordia dichotoma Forst as such are distinct species
The problem arose that the name C. myxa was also used for plants from India, which is same as C. obliqua Willd., a name adopted in Flora of British India. This plant is now correctly known C. dichotoma Forst.
The plant should be cited as:
Cordia dichotoma Forst. syn: Cordia obliqua Willd.; C. myxa auct. (non L.); C. indica Lam.; C. latifolia Roxb.
Cordia myxa L. is a distinct plant now understood to be confined to Asia minor and Egypt
"
Yes, looks like Cordia dichotoma G. Forst.

Tree for ID :: Devgad, Konkan, May 2017 :: ARKMAY10 : 11 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5)
This tree was seen on a mountain top near Devgad, MH in May 2017.
Requested to please provide ID.
It seems to be some species of Cordia

Cordia species with comparative images in efi so far.
Pl. also check with images at Cordia sinensis Lam.

Cordia dichotoma
Thanks ... for the ID.
The leaves, however, look very different, here they seem smaller. Besides, their shape is not circular, like the other C. dichotoma trees that I have seen.
Looking at the fruits and other characters it could be Cordia obliqua. But to confirm the ID one needs to check floral characters. 

Yes. The leaf shape and margin is variable. Fruits should have been smaller, globose and orange if it were C sinensis.  
Thank you ... for the confirmation.

Found in Yelagiri hills of Eastern ghats.
The fruit pulp is used as gum by local people.
Is it not Lisora.
Thanks, ...  You are correct. 
Cordia
Yes. It is correct.
To me appears more close to images at Cordia sinensis Lam. as per comparative images at Cordia

Pl check for Cordia dichotoma
The fruit colour do not match with Cordia sinensis

It is Cordia dichotoma G.Forst.,

Does this look like Karanj (Pongamia pinnata)

No. It is not.
Looks like RhamnaceaeZiziphus sps. ???
Cordia dichotoma
so when it flowers and fruits, i am sure you will photograph it and share here to confirm.
interesting plant
yes ..., That is what i am aiming at. I do not even know when this will flower. I'll have to wait.
good. keep an eye on it. now that you know the name. easier now to do your own searches

sanskrit shloka on trees: Sometime back there was a mail containing a Sanskrit shloka suggesting plants for various directions. Unfrtunately am not able to trace it just now.
I have a few doubts:
1. By chilla/pimpri is meant ficus benjamina or caeesaria tomentosa?
2. By Indian cherry/bhokar is meant ziziphus (ber) or lasora (cordia dichotoma.
-  It may be the link to the earlier thread:
https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/94...
- I have noted this from Marathi newspaper and I'm trying to send the shloka to the right person for correct  translation, I tried to get some names in common english names, based on the marathi trnaslation given in the newspaper & with my poor knowledge, request you that together will sort out this names once I get the
translation in english or marathi, then only we can come to know about the correctness of this shloka,
Please bear with this delay,
Hope this helps,
I have also learnt about Panchavati in Nasik that they have five trees in five directions because of which the Panchvati the name is derived and also has good healthy pollution free air and is advised for outing for sick
people; it is in Nasik of Maharashtra almost 250km away from mumbai. will also send you the information with right source,
- just cdn't stop checking on ur query: I have tried to collect the following infor.
it is  Cordia dichotoma
marathi name bhokar

Fruits for ID : 190611 : AK-3
: Found in one of the parks here at Muscat, Oman on the 16th of June, 2011.
A cultivated medium sized tree, laden with fruits.
My friend tried eating one of the ripe fruits out of many fallen down. She described it as sweet and very sticky, left an odd feeling in the throat for a long time.
Ripe fruits were about 1 inch.
Any clues? 
Yes ... is right
it is Cordia, I hope C. dichotoma 
Cordia myxa ( भोकर )

MS/July/2021/3 - ID of the Cordia dpecies : 10 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1)
I am attaching herewith a photo (combo) received from a friend in Chennai. For me it looks like Cordia myxa looking at the leaves and the size of the tree. However on checking the efloraofindia   on this species it is merged with the C.dichotoma.
efi page on Cordia dichotoma   .  Extract  submitted  for ready reference :
As per Singh ji:
"Cordia myxa L., and Cordia dichotoma Forst as such are distinct species
     The problem arose that the name C. myxa was also used for plants from India, which is same as C. obliqua Willd., a name adopted in Flora of British India. This plant is now correctly known C. dichotoma Forst.
The plant should be cited as:
Cordia dichotoma Forst. syn: Cordia obliqua Willd.; C. myxa auct. (non L.); C. indica Lam.; C. latifolia Roxb.
    Cordia myxa L. is a distinct plant now understood to be confined to Asia minor and Egypt "
  According to Pradip Krishen's new book 'Jungle Trees of Central India' [which is fairly well researched and presented] : 
C.myxa is the accepted name and C.dichotoma is a synonym
My queries :
(1)  Which is the correct form of accepted name and which is the synonym ?
(2)  Suggest the correct citation for the picture I have posted.
Please clarify.

Thanks, … I think ... is correct in the matter.
POWO gives Cordia dichotoma G. Forster as the accepted name as is Catalogue of Life also.

We can't just pick up accepted name and synonym without authority name. No doubt Cordia myxa L. and Cordia dichotoma G. Forst are distinct species according to Kew Database (the most authentic at present), Catalogue of Life and World Flora Online.  
       As understood now both occur in India, C. myxa differentiated by broader leaves (6-12 cm long, 4-8 cm broad), rounded to subcordate at base, drupe usually 20 mm long. C. dichotoma, on the other hand has smaller and narrower leaves (5-8 cm long, less than 3 cm broad, with cuneate base, fruit less than 15 mm. 
      You may check up details, but shape of leaves suggests C. myxa

Thanks, ..., If that is the case, may I request you to pl. look at efi posts in our database, which are all in the same page at C.dichotoma.
Thanks … The fact that both are called and used as Lasura in India has created lot of confusion on the internet, even Wikipedia, even Flowers of India. We have to proceed carefully. I think this looks to be typical C. dichotoma:
http://tropical.theferns.info/image.php?id=Cordia+dichotoma 
I agree with you sir.
May I request you to pl. upload image of the page of Pradip Krishan's book. 

https://books.google.co.in/books/about/Jungle_Trees_of_Central_India.html?id=Bvl5oAEACAAJ&source=kp_book_description&redir_esc=y
Please check the above link. Nevertheless, I am unable to get into the page now..
I think then it is of no use.
