Seedling ID if possible
« on: April 27, 2015, 04:04:45 PM »
Two seedlings I have growing they may be too small to ID but it's worth a shot:)
First one is definitely garcinia as on.part of the name was rubbed off. Second one no clue but even at its small size it has a proportionately large thick root growing somewhat horizontal for some reason.
Garcinia sp?!?

Thick root unknown
Leaves feel like covered in very fine soft fur(not sure the botanical term for this but would also like to know that)


Any insight appreciated:) thanks guys
I think they both come from kerala India but I'm not 100% sure of that

1) You sure it's a garcinia? Reminds me of Eugenia victoriana.

you have a myrtaceous plant, and a moraceous plant.

no garcinia.

definitely a eugenia, and an artocarpus.

2)

Only sure that it said garcinia 'illegible' on the packet but that doesn't mean the label wasn't wrong. If it is a garcinia it may be kydia or gummi-gutta as I may remember being sent those but not sure if it looks correct and it's not definitely either of those.
I know it's hard to identify with a seedling so small though. The leaves are very relief which has not been my experience with more commonly grown species for fruit, it is also alot smaller and thinner stemmed than similar age Achairachu and lucs.

Ha ha ha good eye!! Yes that's S.spinosa in the corner ;D
Artocarpus definitely seems highly plausible the leaf feel reminds me abit of how young jack fruits seedling leaves feel just not as rough, soft feeling.

Ok consensus seems definitely not garcinia then, I won't look a gift Eugenia in the mouth though 8)
Thanks for narrowing it down guys!
