How to identify Grewia laevigata
Identify Grewia laevigata by combining habit, leaf characters, flower or fruit details, location, and its family pattern. Do not rely on one feature alone.
- Look for a shrub habit.
- Check the distinctive field mark: Smooth (laevigate) leaf surface.
- Confirm flower colour: Yellow.
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: May-November.
- In India, compare location records such as Tamil Nadu, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Assam, Sikkim and nearby regions.
- Confirm it sits within the Tiliaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Grewia laevigata.
