| Can someone tell me the botanic names for Orange Tamarind, bushy Tamarind and cape Tamarind, please? I've tried Googling but am having a bit of difficulty finding info because I can't come up with the proper names for them.
Thanks

Hi Pam
The original hint of Dipoglottis is not right but I've come up with the botanical names for two of them.
The Bushy Tamarind is Toechima pterocarpum, while the Cape Tamarind if Toechima daemelianum.
Haven't been able to come up with the botanical for the Orange Tamarind, but I suspect it may be one of the
Cupaniopsis family.
They're more commonly known as Tuckeroos, however, they also get termed Tamarind.
Good luck

Roy,
There is in fact,native tamarinds of Diploglottis species.
Jane is quite correct. |

Sorry Richard, I didn't mean it wasn't right entirely, just meant it wasn't right for the items Pam was referring to.
I knew the cunninghamii was the native Tamarind.
I haven't been able to put a common name to the D. bernieana, campbellii and macrantha, perhaps the orange tamarind is one of those. |

| Orange Tamarind, bushy Tamarind (Toechima pterocarpum) and cape Tamarind (Toechima daemelianum) Roy is quite right I think Orange Tamarind may possibly be Toechima erythrocarpum, which is also called Apricot Tamarind. In regards to the following, I havent ever heard them called Orange Tamarind. D. bernieana (Bernie's Tamarind), D.campbellii (Small leaved Tamarind) and D.macrantha (Cape Tamarind) Cheers from Kris |
