Dear Dr Santhoshji and friends, Photo of Cleome simplicifolia depicted in Foi has petals which are not clawed whereas the petals in the photo that I had sent are clawed. The photos that I had sent seem to be similar to that of Cleome monophylla as shown in Shrikantji's Further Flowers of Sahyadri. This sp of Cleome is apparently called Spindle pod in Africa Seems to have been discussed earlier in efloraofindia based on postings from Ranjiniji and Nayanji Please help me in arriving at a possible diagnosis. Regards, Dr. Badri On Mar 19, 2013 10:47 AM, "Dr Santhosh Kumar" <[email protected]> wrote:
