Thanks Gurcharanji bought the book today. wait to get delivery.
Your two pictures today help make sense why the "same" kakrol vegetable from the local markets often look a little different shaped... i will try to dissect and later taste the cooked vegetable to see if i can find any difference. ANd Surajit... in urban areas where local rare veg are not available I have never seen that gol-kakarol. thanks for this case. and when you do get flowers next spring , may be you will add it to this thread... i am saving it. usha di On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 3:24 AM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Ushadi > It was a very good upload because M. cochinchinensis (Gac fruit, Gol > Kakra) , M. acutangula Particularly M. subangulata subsp. > renigera-Kakrol-commonly sold in Indian markets) subsp. acutangula with > smooth fruits and popular in Thailand, , and M. dioica (Kantola, bhat > karela, kaksa, fruits half the size of kakrol with sharper spines), > although so distinct are terribly confused in literature, more so on > reputed websites, even Flora of China had earlier confused M. renigera as > M. dioica. > > > http://www.plantsystematics.org/imgs/dws/r/Cucurbitaceae_Momordica_subangulata_17585.html > this is actually M. cochinchinensis, twice the size of M. subangulata > > http://www.jircas.affrc.go.jp/project/value_addition/Vegetables/073.html > this is real M. subangulata subsp. subangulata > > In fact I had purchased photograph of fully mature M. cochinenchinensis > royalty free online before Surajit uploaded in this mail, both are in my > book "Know your Fruits and Vegetables: Cucurbits" > > http://www.infibeam.com/Books/book/9789383271658.html?trackId=bookmandi > > I am uploading photographs of M. dioca and M. subangulata subsp. renigera > to complete the series. > > > Dr. Gurcharan Singh > Retired Associate Professor > SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 > Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018. > Phone: 011-25518297 Mob: 9810359089 > http://www.gurcharanfamily.com/ > http://people.du.ac.in/~singhg45/ > > > On Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 11:46 AM, Ushadi Micromini < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> wonderful case study >> usha di >> >> >> >> On Sat, Jun 29, 2013 at 4:50 PM, surajit koley < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> My colleague, Mr. M.
