Thanks, Varun ji. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Varun Sharma Date: 23 February 2015 at 11:56 Subject: RE: [efloraofindia:215334] Solanaceae Fortnight :: Brunfelsia grandiflora :: VJBU :: DVFEB03/11 To: "J.M. Garg" <[email protected]>
Dear Sir, It is difficult to identify over images based on keys mentioned below, so Mr Dinesh Valke Ji knows the exact characters of plant, it would be easy to him to identify species based on characters mentioned below: Key differences in *Brunfelsia grandiflora* and *B. pauciflora*: *Brunfelsia grandiflora* Leaves usually 16-31 cm long, scattered, with 5-9 lateral nerves, less than 8 cm wide Inflorescence lax, often short-branched, flowers 5-many, showy, scentless, violet fading to white with age, with rounded, white ring at mouth, Corolla tube 2-5 times as long as calyx, Corolla tube 15-40 mm long, Corolla lobes spreading at anthesis *Brunfelsia pauciflora* Leaves usually 2-15 cm long, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, with 5-11 lateral nerves, membranaceous to subcoriaceous Flowers 1-many per inflorescence; terminal, sessile or subsessile, with 1-11 flowers, Pedicel 11-25 mm long, showy, deep, reddish purple fading to pale lavender or white with age, with white spot at mouth sometimes edged with violet. Calyx glabrous or with sparse glandular hairs, Corolla tube 1-11/2 times as long as calyx, Corolla tube 25-40 mm long, Reference: Plowman, T.C. (1998).

Garg [mailto:[email protected]] *Sent:* Thursday, February 19, 2015 6:19 PM *To:* efloraofindia *Cc:* Dinesh Valke; Gurcharan Singh *Subject:* Fwd: [efloraofindia:215334] Solanaceae Fortnight :: Brunfelsia grandiflora :: VJBU :: DVFEB03/11 Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please. Some earlier relevant feedback: I am having difficulty in choosing between B. grandiflora and B. pauciflora. The defining character is calyx only 12 mm long and flowers more than 5 in a cluster in B. grandiflora and flowers 1 or more and calyx 25-40 mm long in B. calycina. At least your second photograph (blue flower) could belong to B. pauciflora. Dr. Gurcharan Singh Thank you very much Gurcharan ji for validating the ID. If one of the flowers (the 2nd photo showing blue flower) seems to be *B. pauciflora* - the 3rd and 4th also would be same - belonging to same plant The blue colour fades to white as flower loses its glory. Only the first one is from different plant, though the flower size I remember was same as that of blue; perhaps a different cultivar of same species. Let me put a cropped version of last photo to show some hint of calyx; but I do not remember its size. - from Dinesh ji. efi page on Brunfelsia pauciflora <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/s/solanaceae/brunfelsia/brunfelsia-pauciflora> Brunfelsia <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/s/solanaceae/brunfelsia> species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Dinesh Valke* <[email protected]> Date: 11 February 2015 at 21:22 Subject: [efloraofindia:215334] Solanaceae Fortnight :: Brunfelsia grandiflora :: VJBU :: DVFEB03/11 To: efloraofindia <[email protected]> Solanaceae Fortnight solanum, nightshade, or potato family *Brunfelsia grandiflora* D.Don at Veermata Jijabai Bhonsale Udyan on March 23, 2008 [image: Brunfelsia grandiflora] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2369705621&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdfAnEz8Qgmr4GovtY0fuFirn9Jmg> [image: Brunfelsia grandiflora] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2478095099&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEze2niKyy83rI_UTYiOS_wBAICd5RA> [image: Brunfelsia grandiflora] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2370541590&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzeq3oOnotZCOMik3-D7Q8vkUs9Q1Q> [image: Brunfelsia grandiflora] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2370665828&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEze0Uf7n8igkWGpINbXiSfnBYPD5dA> Regards.
