Ximenia americana: here are few snaps of Ximenia americana, another member of Olacaceae, excuse me if I have sent already in previous years. these are from arasanakere scrub jungle, Mysore, Karnataka
May any one help me this woody scandent unarmed shrub found in the forests of Eastrenghats, Now I didnot notice the flowers. fruit is about 2-3cm in size. As it is high on a tree we are unable to pluck it. ... a wild wild guess: some species of Sarcostigma, perhaps Sarcostigma kleinii Wight & Arn. Reference: sighting during excursion with ... in Uttara Kannada (Anmod Ghat).http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/8902774071/in/set-72157626466004443 It is Ximenia americana of Olacaceae. Fruits are edible, taste sour. Thanks very much ... for the correct ID ... my guess was purely based on the lookalike fruit.! I do have one picture of fruits of Ximenia americana ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/91314344@N00/5780500349/in/photolist-9NNzn8-9BQ7Jn Thanks ... for fixing the thread and for validating the id as well. Its local Tamil name (in Tiruvannamalai dt.) is "Samara" சமரா.
