Fruit Trees of Bangalore - RA - Ziziphus Mauritiana - Indian Jujube Tree - Elandai: .............. During My stays in Nagpur, Chitrakoot and Maihar, we have seen more than 2 dozen types of Ber whose range of habitat starts from a small bush to large trees. All are called as Ber locally. However i know well Z nummularia. Can any member through more light on the matter whether these shrubs/ trees are all Z .mauritiana are different sp. Many of these Ber differs remarkably in taste and size as well Boiled Ber with little salt and Sugar tastes too good. Yesterday i had it in the evening. Your post once again reminded me of that good taste.
Large fruit, not like the smaller ones we see generally. These sold as fruits in the market too. Kindly id the species. Why not Ziziphus jujuba Mill. ? Thanks for a possible id. These are the fruits you get in the Indian market too. Although the farm is here, it belongs to an Indian. So all the tree planted are those found in India. efi site link: Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.

Also in the fruit & vegetable market. Query :: specific epithet (based on geographical name) :: mauritian : 18 posts by 6 authors. While compiling names of Ipomoea mauritiana Jacq. and Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. - want to make sure that mauritiana is of or from: Mauritania (country in w Africa) AND not to be confused with Mauritius (island in Indian Ocean) Ipomoea mauritiana has: 1) one name - Mauritanian convolvulus ... NPGS / GRIN 2) its origins ... uncertain, but it has been recorded in West Africa, including in Gambia and the riparian forests of Benin ... Wikipedia Both Gambia and Benin are neighbouring countries of Mauritania. BUT when looking up for Ziziphus mauritiana, do not find it pertaining in any way to Mauritania (nor Mauritius). Can someone help me ? By the way, this query arose on finding some of the sites and reference books relating mauritiana to Mauritius. Mauritius was under French rule during the period when this fruit was described by Lamarck who was also French. Hence Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. should be based on Mauritius. Ipomoea mauritiana was described by Jacquin who again was a French and worked in South Africa too. I assume both name comes from Mauritius. Logically Mauritania should have been changed to latin as Mauritaniana!! ... many thanks your thoughts; it helped me know mauritiana is based on Mauritius. "Logically Mauritania should have been changed to latin as Mauritaniana" ... is the logic true in case of Mauritius? :-) What I found: This species was first described by the French biologist J. B. Lamarck, from a specimen in a botanical garden in Paris, but he did not state why he decided to name it after Mauritius Island. ... Wildflowers of Israel. Ipomoea mauritiana has following names: 1) Mauritanian convolvulus ... NPGS / GRIN 2) Mauritiana Morning Glory ... Plantilus ... though Mauritiana here is just the epithet, not name of any place in world. however, Type Specimens T: ; ; Cultivated in Vienna from material collected in Mauritius ... Tropicos Thanks once again ... taking it as based on Mauritius. Sir Lamarck didnt colelct all plants from wild. People colelcted from different parts of the world and were transfered to Paris during French rule. Same as Linnaeus who never came to India but described plants from India. And same as Jacquin. Dont mind my collect please. I am trying to find the second protologue !!! cant find anywhere....... indeed some authors described plants far from where the plants were found. The gist of my query is knowing the place(s) on which the epithet mauritiana is based. While I was attempting to find it on the internet, I got mixed results and got confused. Now your thoughts helped me somewhat convinced that the epithet is based on Mauritius. It actually doesnt state anything from where it went to Lamarck. Interestingly the first sentence says, Isle of France.... I imagine which Island it point towards!!! Many many thanks dear ... At least mention of "isle" of France.I hope we have similar clarification for Ipomoea mauritiana. You may dig only during leisure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritius Please check this. It mentions that "In 1598 a Dutch squadron under AdmiralWybrand Van Warwyck landed at Grand Port and named the island Mauritius, in honour of Prince Maurice van Nassau, stadhouder of the Dutch Republic. Later the island became a French colony and was renamed Isle de France." WOW .... Excellent search. Thank you very very much. Thus epithet of Ziziphus mauritiana is very well confirmed to be based on Mauritius. A check on epithet of Ipomoea mauritiana to have some relation to Mauritius would be fantastic. Please help at your leisure.It is interesting to read the discussions. Some unknown facts emerge.... Have attached a relevant paper by the French botanist Louis Bouton (1799 - 1878) who worked extensively in Mauritius. It was published in William Jackson Hooker's Journal of Botany, vol. I, in 1834. In his concluding remarks on the last page, he inferred that the name mauritiana is incorrect because no plant of the genus Ziziphus is indigenous to Mauritius. Thanks for sharing the article. Just because a plant is not originally from a place on which the name is described, as in this case, Z. mauritiana not being originally from Mauritius, doesnt make the species epithet incorrect according to ICBN, now called as ICN. Yes the only thing incorrect is the interpretation that it is indigenous to Mauritius. Same thing goes to all species named as indica or chinensis doesnt mean that it is indigenous to India or China. The species epithet just means that the plant was described from Mauritius or India or China. Supporting to ... on the issue of specific epithet. Some times, it make no sense, as in the case of Thunbergia frangrans (it doesnt has fragrant flowers). Mauritiana also one of such mistakes!! Thanks ... for adding more clarifications to this query. Hoping we get to know how the epithet fits in case of Ipomoea mauritiana whose origin / nativity is obscure (ref: Flora of China) ... note in Wikipedia says: Its origins are uncertain, but it has been recorded in West Africa, including in Gambia and the riparian forests of Benin.

In the context of the plant sexuality of flowering plants (angiosperms), there are two forms of dichogamy: protogyny—female function precedes male function—and protandry— male function precedes female function.] . Zizyphus had protoandrous flowers, i.e., androecium develops to maturity first and after sometime gynoecium attains maturity, in simple words, there is a distinct delineation of male and female phase in the same flower as both anther and stigma dont mature at one time hence inhibiting self pollination. In the flower above, the anthers mature first (during erect position as in the picture, which has white pollens on the anthers] but stigma remains immature, hence the insect will come collect pollens from the erect anthers but pollens wont be able to get deposited on the stigma of the same plant because the stigma will not be mature enough to let the pollen stick to it. Hence if and when the insect will visit another flower which has mature stigma, pollen gets deposited. In other words, pollen from one flower is avoided from getting deposited on the stigma of the same flower. There are some other terms here which are useful: Geitonogamy: In this pollination of a flower with the pollen from another flower on the same flowering plant. Xenogamy: In this pollination of a flower takes place by pollens from a different plant .

Ziziphus jujuba Mill is not synonym of Ziziphus mauritiana as per theplantlist.org pls see http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2470699 To me this tree is BER Ziziphus jujuba During our Pre Commissioned Training in OTA Kamptee (Nagpur) its fruits were the only thing available to us to eat during short breaks. More than 10 varities of BER were there. These were the main food of Monkeys and Langoors residing there. Perheps attached key from eflora.org may help But I meant Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. for which *Z. jujuba* (L.) Gaertn. is a synonym, as per GRIN. Please check http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?42285 Here are some contrdictions in theplantlist and GRIN Does the plant has thorns? If the tree is unarmed (no thorns) then it is Z. glabrata and if the tree is armed then it is Z. mauritiana (Syn. jujuba). ( We have to clarify the contradiction on the synonym). I couldnt see thorns in the branch close up picture hence I reached a conclusion that it could be Z. glabrata (Z. trinervia). Please see the attachment. According to the plant list there are 2 genus; Zyzyphus and Ziziphus ( http://www.theplantlist.org/browse/A/Rhamnaceae/) in Rhamnacae family jujuba kept under Ziziphus whereas, mauritiana kept under Zizyphus. Both are accepted as well. Any one has any clarification on this? Let us not banish 'The Plant List' like that. It is for the first time we have complete list of all plant species with accepted names and synonyms. Agreed, there are still a large list of unresolved names and few controversial conclusions, but I think trained taxonomists can sort these out, and moreover, the list is being continuous improved and we may have improved version soon. I agree ... that we shouldn't completely depend on the plant list. But, as ... pointed out that is a great effort and we cannot totally ignore the same. I had gone through what ever literature available in our library and got to know that Z. mauritiana has stipular thorns whereas, Z. glabrata doesn't have hence I reached my conclusion. To clarify, the contradiction on synonym I referred the same flora books from our library and most of the flora says Z. jujuba is a synonym of Z.mauritiana (Flowering Plants; Biodiversity Documentation for Kerala, Sasidharan KFRI, 2004 & Flowering Plants of Kerala, India, Nayar, T S et al (TBGRI), 2006 ). I had mentioned the link for The plant list because that is the* *best source available online now ( I proudly make a statement that when we compile our data ours would be certainly become the best source of flora reference online). The plant list is compiling by a group of taxonomists who are working from leading botanical gardens in different parts of the world, including Kew Botanical Garden where herbaria from world around is kept and well maintained for a long time, I believe. Further, I beleive that they are updating the database with several new publications. If we feel that there are contradictions or corrections let us write them. Ziziphus jujuba is a classical example of later homonymy often cited in the text books. The common Indian Ber plant, Chinese-date or Indian jujube was first described by Linnaeus under the name Rhamnus jujuba a species with leaves glabrous above and velvety beneath. Linnaeus also described Rhamnus ziziphus a species with leaves having glabrous under surface, As it turned out to be Millers (1768) gave the name Ziziphus jujuba for this species, so that when Gaertn. (1788) or Lamarck (1789) made the combination Ziziphus jujuba based on Rhamnus jujuba of Linnaeus, it turned out to be a later homonym of a different species Z. jujuba Mill. The name Z. jujuba (L.) Gaertn. or (L.) Lam. for Indian Jujube had to be rejected and next available name Z. mauritiana Lam., continued to be used for this species. Agreed The Plant List does not list Z. mauritiana but lists both Rhamnus ziziphus L. as well as Rhamnus jujuba L. as synonyms of Ziziphus jujuba Mill., implying that latest (2010) taxonomic judgement treats the two species as synonyms. We may like it or not the whole World is going to follow this List, and I think we have no choice. Thank you sir for the detailed clarification. But the plant list have listed Z. mauritiana in the list, but as I have mentioned earlier the spelling is different for the genus ( http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-50137113) here it is Zizyphus and then they mention that Zizyphus mauritiana doesn't have any synonym. Further, there is yet another genus with a spelling Ziziphus in which they have included jujuba as Ziziphus jujuba with R. jujuba and R. zizyphus as synonym (http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2470699). Zizyphus is perhaps biggest goof up by The Plant List. Ziziphus and Zizyphus are same genus with correct spellings as Ziziphus now. Perhaps we will have to write to them about these mistakes. The bark of this tree has irregular cracks on almost black trunk. After seeing this mail I read the account of Zizyphus/Ziziphus jujuba. it says jujuba has irregular cracks on almos black trunk. I never said that ignore The Plant List, no doubt they are doing the best they can do for the biodiversity of the plants of the world. I like the statement by .. written few days back that get the correct knowledge from wherever you get. I just wanted all of us to refer the literature and herbariums too, instead just depending on The Plant List. I also feel that there should be some Indian Taxonomists Group on The Plant List group to deal with Indian Plants. Thanks Dear ... for sharing yr views. What i understand is that there are two things, one is the plant list and second one is the regional flora. I would like to share one of my observation w.r.t. Ehretia sp.. While we were discussing Ehretia sp. posted by ..., .... has mentioned that "Kew Plant List treats E. aspera as synonym of E. laevis". Where as "Flora of Bombay-- T.Cooke” treats these 2 differently, Ehretia laevis as E.laevis Roxb. and Ehretia aspera as E.aspera Roxb. Flora has also provided the keys for both. So my understanding is, along with plant list, regional floras should also be reffered and it becomes all the more necessay when we are reffereing to some endemic sp. Early flowering and fruiting of Ziziphus mauritiana was noticed during Oct. and November, from NBNP Garden, Anaikatti, Coimbatore. Usual season will be during summer (March to June). Any thought about the unusual flowering?
Is this Zizyphus mauritiana: Is this Zizyphus mauritiana or different variety? Pl confirm Fruits will be like this. http://ta.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%AE%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D:Ziziphus_mauritiana_ripped.jpg efloraofindia:''For Id 24072012MR1’’ shrub with thorns at Pune: July 2012 at Pune Kothrud Kindly help Id this shrub ht about 4 feet, growing along the fence of a private society. I do not know if wild/planted. Thorns seen, flowers pale green to cream approx 4-5 mm and buds green approx 3mm in size, no fruits seen. Sorry I could not get pics of the plant as a whole It is Ziziphus species, most probably Z. mauritiana. Yes, it is Ziziphus mauritiana
I was musing over an idea of starting a new series - "Sunday Special". This can be anything and everything. We can share our views, ideas, experience.... whatever you and i would like to share. Here i go... Yesterday i was on my way to school, as usual, left home at 8.30, boarded the train at 8.45, got down at the next station in order to catch another train that would take me 25 km more. As i was about to move to another platform, using a overbridge, i found a number of wild climbers beside the platform. And there was some other herbs, seedlings of shrubs, even trees too. This is monsoon, a few drops here and there, as you know rain is eluding us this year. But those few drops are enough to create excitements in seeds and saplings. What the Rhinos said in the "Ice Age"? "Tender shoot"? Well, here i go to catch another train, the train will be coming in within a minute............... B U T.... W H A T... I S... T H A T ? A Common Pierrot !!!... and on Ziziphus sp. !!! Laying !!! Egg !!! Resting !!! Well, friends, i missed the train, waited for another 15 minutes to catch the next train.
Any idea ? : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2) - 2 mb each. Gwalior Fort, january 2020, wild ? Calophyllum, Garcinia ? Ziziphus only ..., Check with Z.mauritania, Thank you ! I had seen the Ziziphus sp. but i did not have a precise enough image. Z.mauritania seems to fit. Was it a tree ? Rather shrub. I think a big one, from the image. References:
