How to identify Autograph Tree
Identify Autograph Tree by combining habit, leaf characters, flower or fruit details, location, and its family pattern. Do not rely on one feature alone.
- Look for a tree habit.
- Check the distinctive field mark: Thick leathery leaves that can be scratched to leave a lasting mark (autograph tree).
- Confirm leaf shape: Obovate (egg-shaped, broad at tip).
- Confirm flower colour: Pink.
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: March-April.
- In India, compare location records such as Karnataka.
- Confirm it sits within the Clusiaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Autograph Tree.
