59.92.117.206 (talk) 16:41, 23 July 2008 (UTC) Hi everybody could anyone tell me more details about limonia leaves and its name in tamil language[reply]

Mixing up Limonia with Aegle through common names?

This article uses the English name Bael for this species though it is not mentioned in the first paragraph as a common name, though it is mentioned in the article on Aegle as the main common name. I suggest using the common name Woodapple in this article. BTW I had some last week from a Sri Lankan grocery in Vancouver. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gebrelu (talk • contribs) 14:28, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fruit Indians refer to as "Bael" is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT fruit to that of Woodapple. The "Bael" refers to a fruit called "Beli" This is the fruit with the medicinal properties for the stomach. I know this because I have eaten both these two fruits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.190.104.133 (talk) 11:52, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Native to Dominican Republic?

Although listed here as being native to Dominican Republic, this appears a bit of an outlier for the native range no? This is otherwise native to India, Ceylon, SE Asia. Was this through introduction to the Carribean? prashanthns (talk) 03:56, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, this seems strange. More so given that GRIN is normally a very reliable source. I could not find mention of Dominican Republic distribution elsewhere, native or introduced. Looking at the Plants of the World Online record, their area of native distribution is much more limited than GRIN, but with the discontinuous inclusion of Fiji! Pinging @Peter coxhead: to see if he might have thoughts on this. Declangi (talk) 06:24, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the Bibliography section in the Plants of the World Online entry, for Fiji it gives "Smith, A.C. (1985) Flora Vitiensis Nova. A new flora for Fiji (Spermatophytes only) 3: 1-758. Pacific Tropical Botanical Garden, Lawai". The relevant bit is on p. 526, which says "Distribution India and Ceylon, with a single species now widely cultivated, as in Fiji, and sometimes naturalized" and "supposedly introduced into Fiji in 1880". So I'm sure this is an error by POWO: they've picked up Fiji from another source which didn't distinguish between native and naturalized plants. It can be written up here in the form "Some sources include Fiji, although the Flora of Fuji says ...". Peter coxhead (talk) 09:14, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks Peter, this clarifies the Fiji distribution. I've created a Distribution section, with Flora Vitiensis Nova as the main source. Mentioned POWO for differing native vs. introduced distributions. And I dropped GRIN as a distribution reference, the native scope there being the broadest of all.
