Finally I found the vulnerable plant species, Dimorphocalyx glabellus at
Barbara Reserve Forest, India. I got skin infection during exploration
work. Burning sensation is nothing compare to the happiness after
getting this plant first time..... The plant is too beautiful with
amazing flowers and fruits.......... Need conservation of such valuable
resources for future.
Dimorphocalyx glabellus is a species of family
Euphorbiaceae. It is a small evergreen tree endemic to Sri Lanka. It is known
