Researchers have identified a new species of tree in the Eastern Ghats of India Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Tirupati have identified a new species of tree in the Eastern Ghats of India. The tree, named Syzygium kurumbense, was identified during a survey of the Eastern Ghats conducted by the researchers. The tree, which belongs to the family Myrtaceae, is a small tree or shrub with a height of up to 3 m. The tree has alternate, elliptic-oblong leaves that are slightly toothed near the apex. The flowers are white in colour, and are arranged in clusters of three to four. The fruits are drupes, with a single seed in each fruit. The researchers also noted that the tree is endemic to the Eastern Ghats and is a rare find.
