Elaeocarpus recurvatus
Elaeocarpus recurvatus is a rare forest tree from the Nilgiri and Anamalai hills of southern India, found only in high-altitude evergreen shola forest. It is not a common garden plant, and its care needs are largely unknown outside its native cool, wet montane habitat.
Elaeocarpus recurvatus is a species of flowering plant in the Elaeocarpaceae family. It is found only in the Anamalai and Nilgiri Hills in the Western Ghats of southern India. It grows in montane evergreen rain forest and shola forest above 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) elevation. It is threatened by habitat loss.
