this is Careya arborea ( कुंभ ,कुंभा ). 1 image. - Careya arborea from family Lecythidaceae - It is Kumbi in Bengali, Hindi and Gujarati Kumbhi in Sanskrit Kumbia in Mah. Araya, duddipa in Tel. Ayma in Tam. Kaval, doddala in Kan. Alam, pelu in Mal. - these tree are common in SGNP, BORIVLI.

Wild pigs are very fond of the bark, and that it is used by hunters to attract them. An astringent gum exudes from the fruit and stem, and the bark is made into coarse cordage. The Tamil name Puta-tanni-maram signifies â€water- bark-tree,†in allusion to the exudation trickling down the bark in dry weather. Bark surface flaking in thin strips, fissured, dark grey; crown spreading. Leaves arranged spirally, often clustered at the apices of twigs, simple, broadly obovate, tapering at base, margin toothed, stipules small, caducous. Flowers in an erect raceme at the end of branches. Flowers are large, white. Sepals are 4, petals 4, free. Stamens are many, connate at base; disk annular; ovary inferior, 4-5-locular with many ovules in 2 rows per cell, style 1. Fruit a large, many-seeded drupe, globose to depressed globose, crowned by the persistent sepals. Seedling with hypogeal germination; cotyledons absent (seed containing a swollen hypocotyl); shoot with scales at the first few nodes.

Plant Habit- Tree Height- More than 30 feet. (The tree trunk view in the first picture attached is upward from close to the trunk.)

Seeds- about 1 cm diameter and 2.5 to 3 cm length. medium brown. (note the seed clearly visible in the picture of seedling). the seeds lying under the tree which had not germinated were much more cylindrical and of course less dense. Other Information - There were many seedlings growing below the tree as seen in picture attached. not less than 30. these may be very characteristic for identification. I dug and got some seedlings back and one seems to be establishing itself. (My first participation in the eFI.) ID for this tree pls found in siddarabetta (sidda hill) 95 km north of bangalore It looks like Terminalia when i take out bark, milk oozes out of it. fruit is like cork ball, that much bigger is the fruit. It could be Careya arborea. Careya arborea Roxb. I too think it is Careya arborea if this is wild guwa then i have a different plant which looks like this i am uploading pics of that. pls rectify. This appears ?Barringtonia sp Gardenia latifolia Aiton
Fwd: [efloraofindia:186348] Identification of some trees species TK6 : 7 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1). Identification of some trees from Dev Giri forest of Jalgaon district Maharashtra.. ............... 2. I think Bombacaeae member ? ......................... Perhaps Bombax ceiba. This is Kumbhi [Careya arborea]. Some more of my photographs of this are available at this link : P.S. - Plenty of my photographs of Bombax ceiba for comparison are available in the archives of this group. Am sending my photographs of Simul [Bombax ceiba] for comparison in a separate mail. On point of fact it should be obvious that the flowers of Bombax insigne with their greater number of stamens more closely resembles those of Careya arborea than do Bombax ceiba. Sending a few photographs of Bombax insigne for comparison in a separate mail. this may be Careya arborea
