And I have seen a Selaginella species on sale in Pune market under same name. The term appears to be commonly used for plants showing desiccation tolerance- (Poikilohydry) especially of homoiochlorophyllous (=that retain chlorophyll as it is) type. I haven't seen it used so far for poikilochlorophyllous (=that retain chlorophyll is a changed nature and have to resynthesize after moistening) species such as of Tripogon or Eragrostis spp. I have special interest in this group in India, as they frequent rocky habitats which I study, so if you all can list out species that you know which show this character, it will add to my knowledge. regards aparna On Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 7:03 PM, Vijayadas D <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, > > Dr.Pankaj kumar is right. that plant is S.bryopteris > > On Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 4:28 PM, Dr. Pankaj Kumar <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Dear Dr. Pankaj Oudhia, >> >> Just wanted to let you know that the picture available on your link is >> not Azolla but some species Selaginella itself may be species is >> 'bryopteris'. >> Just by curiosity, I wud say that if a Sanjivini is there then it >> should be something that grows on rock in the Himalaya, according to >> the epic.
