Seen the Flowering and Fruiting of *Calophyllum inophyllum**. Family: Clusiaceae. Date/Time: 28-08-2011 / 10:15AM Location: Mumbai. Close up of the flower is a rear sight... usually we get to see the fallen flowers here.. since picking of flowers is a no no and the trees we have in our parks are 30 - 40 years old.. hence quite tall, beyond our reach... this is unique.. It is called as undi उंडी or Punnag पुन्नाग A tree common in coastal parts. I have seen these in Coastal Konkan near Rajapur. Many trees in Pondicherry too. In Pune one tree is present In Abasaheb Garware college; One in Karve nagar in the lane opposite Tathawade Udyan. Was flowering in last fortnight. In an ethnobotany course a few years ago, we were told by a visiting professor (name forgotten) : in the old days the seeds were collected by coastal village folks (read women) and used for oil lamps.... recently saw conferences being advertised internationally about use of Calophyllum inophyllum cultivation for profit for bio diesel industry .... so its old wisdom gathered by these women from their and their ancestors' experiences and use of their innate intellect , wonder if anybody thought of compensating them for their "patent" and "TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER" ? These Local folks still use the fruits for oil. In Tamil Nadu the oil is not only used for lighting lamps but also used in treating skin diseases. The tree is a sacred tree and planted in temple premises (Shiva). A beautiful specimen tree is seen inside Mylapore temple ( Kapaleswarar koil), Chennai.

Request for Id : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3) The tree was seen in Mumbai, in a garden in Anushaktinagar- Date taken : Mar 22, 2015Fruits collected from underground of the tree. Are both fruits are the same? Please help. May be Calophyllum! or any other Clusiaceae. brown seed was much larger than its current size when it was green = logical. so speaks of greater disparity in size of the two = obvious. second the smaller seed could be from the same tree ... fruits of same tree can be of different size, dropping off means some violence, high winds storm rain storm or birds or animals dropped it, so it remains small...????i can only suggest cut/saw it neatly in half and see if the inside structure is the same if only one seeds inside, only Clusiaceae with one seeded fruit is calophyllum == i wish you had picked a leaf and photographed that... strong primary vein and almost parallel secondary veins with inconspicuous tertiary veins = calophyllum ======= or let it dry and see if it begins to look the same as the brown on...Secondly what other trees were there that could produce roundish green fruits? == if you are back in kolkata, salt lake central park has many calophyllum inophyllum trees to the left of the main walkway keeping the lake to the rightyou could check out resemblance to your tree there and the fallen seeds early in the morning will be still there before the sweepers haul them away.. seeds are good source of oil (very dense) for oil lamps that's the ethnobotanic use for the seeds, used to be very popular, but with ration shop kerosene available just by standing in line, seems to be fallen off the radar for manufacture in the villages along the ganges delta.. Thank you all, for quick response. ..., I am in Kolkata now. I will try to visit central park as you suggested.so if you take its pictures please send them in, here in this thread, ...Callophyllum innophyllum

Roadside tree more than 10 metres in height, no flowers sighted. Woody wrinkly fruit with single seed littered the ground.Calophyllum inophyllum L. [Clusiaceae]. It is Calophyllum inophyllum L., of Calophyllaceae, the dried fruit and leaf are clear; it is often found planted or as an escape on road side Thank you all.

Calophyllum inophyllum L., it is a star tree, ornamental and medicinal tree, the butter extracted from the fruit is used in cosmetic preparations. Oil extracted from the seeds of this tree was used to light lamps (pre-electrification days!) Calophyllum inophyllum known as Punna - പുന്ന - in Malayalam. The oil also has medicinal properties.
