Dischidia singularis

W. G. Craib

Published in Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information 419 (1911) by William Grant Craib. Dischidia singularis orginates from Thailand. It was collected by Arthur Francis G. Kerr in Chiengmai on Doi Sutep, Thailand.

I definitely grow my Dischidia singularis for its odd leaves. The leaves have two lobes at the middle. The flowers are so small you hardly notice them. The clusters always contain flowers in all stages, from small buds to withered flowers. I have not felt any scent from them.
