PLANT MORPHOLOGY

 

 

 

Plant form Tree, Under Shrub.

Mature plant growth habit

Prostrate, Intermediate (to be recorded in fully mature plants).

Branching habit

Dense (recorded simultaneously with plant height).

Thorniness

Absent (Recorded the comparative thorn density on mature Plant).

Branching of thorn

Non-branched (Recorded simultaneously with plant height).

Immature steam colour -
Mature steam colour Brown (Recorded on main stem, 25 cm above the soil).
Silver scale on steam Present (Recorded on new shoot growth).
Stellate hairiness on 1,3
Stem bark Not remove (NR).
Young branches -

Stem shape

Rounded (Recorded from the main branch, 15cm above the soil).

   

QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS

 

 

 

Plant height (cm) 8-10 (Recorded as the length from soil level to topmost portion in the canopy centre exactly above the main trunk).

Canopy width (cm)

30-40 cm  (recorded simultaneously with plant height as the max.  Canopy diagonal in a horizontal planes –Two directions East-West and North-South).

Inter-branch distanc

Record the mean distance between 5 mature branches from the main stem at base of the plant above 30 cm ground. This character is recommended only when the accessions under evolution have a common geographical origin, otherwise the different rate induced by varying growth condition will not represent the true genetic variability

   

LEAF CHARACTERS

 

 

 

No. of leaves attached at single point One(To be recorded at immature fruit stage).

Upper Leaf Surface (Adaxial Side)

Rough, Leathery (Recorded at immature fruit stage).

Lower Leaf Surface (Adaxial Side) Glabrous.
Colour of abaxial side Light Green.
Colour of leaf midrib on the abaxial side Cream Yellow.
Phyllotaxy (arrangement of leaves) Alternate (Recorded on the 10cm of branch).
Adaxial leaf surface colour Dark green with black tinge, White tinge
Leaf tip Shape Blunt.
Leaf margins

Smooth.

Leaf senescence nature Non-deciduous even after winter.
Stellate hair beneath the leaves Present
Leaf attachment to stem Pedicellate.

Sliver scales on the leaves

On dorsal side.

Leaf venation Reticulate.

QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS

 

 

 

Leaf Length (cm) 0.78 cm  (Recorded as mean length of 10 leaves from the base of secondary fruit bearing branches. Length is measured from the base to the tip of the leaf blade).
Leaf width (cm) 0.375 cm  (To be recorded on the same leaves used for the measurement of leaf length. Width is measured at the widest portion of the leaf).
