Acanthaceae Fortnight acanthus, or ruellia family Dear friends, On going through *Revision of the Genus Barleria (Acanthaceae) in India* by Shankar M. Shendage and S.R. Yadav, I found I have messed up few posts with wrongly identifying *Barleria prattensis* as *Barleria montana*. This document is no longer found at Rheedea site, however you may download <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/HvNFd2AIHjQ/ZaNBfSQBkscJ> it from one of the posts in group's database; thanks to Usha di for sharing it.
I have put below links to my recent posts carrying misidentifications. They must be *Barleria prattensis* Santapau, Kew Bull. 3: 487. 1949; ... synonym: *Barleria montana* auct. non Nees, 1832: Beddome, Icon. Pl. Ind. Or.: t. 257. 1868; Cooke, Fl. Bombay 2: 461. 1904. AND NOT *Barleria montana* Nees in Wallich, Pl. Asiat. Rar. 3: 92. 1832 & in de Candolle, Prodr. 11: 232. 1847; ... synonym:*Barleria morrisiana* E. Barnes & C.E.C. Fisch., Bull. Misc. Inform. 1939: 659. 1939; Karthikeyan et al., Fl. Pl. India – Dicotyl. 1: 6. 2009, syn. nov. I checked group's database - till date, there is no post of *B. montana*; I eagerly hope we get somebody posting it during this fortnight. While I am strong about these misidentifications in my collection, I will be glad to get validations (positive OR negative). Will later correct my notes at flickr after the fortnight. ------------------------------ DVMAR15/26 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/4DPcTf9jcI4/Vu6WXvSAxWkJ> at Karnala Bird Sanctuary on December 9, 2006 [image: Adavi Decembaralu (Telugu: అడవి డిసెంబరాలు)] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F318386590&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfcqxNaswRwLhOBLti445jb0paIag> DVMAR16/27 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/jvb2Ow4CXpE/89OB-hbNXTIJ> at Valley Park, CBD, Navi Mumbai on November 3, 2007 [image: Dongari Koranti (Marathi: डोंगरी कोरांटी)] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F1842495869&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfU1l1INIcPiGhIP3WPSEDYHz_Z1A> [image: Mekavanna-k-kurinci (Tamil: மேகவண்ணக்குறிஞ்சி)] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F1843307934&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdvkmntahRgvtBejNwZ2WX1J17wmw> DVMAR17/28 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/1Ili1WhkFMM/97OTz1NODhUJ> at Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary on October 9, 2008 [image: Barleria montana] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2934236854&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfmVTpi01Ssx5qx2fUKbec_NDwysQ> [image: Barleria montana] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2934233282&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdKI0Vy_ApfQNp_Tm4C-XDThVHVAQ> [image: Barleria montana] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2933376121&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfLMbtPoNCevwIuXvtTuGFprpZpTw> [image: Barleria montana] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2933377523&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdsce-oIrdUQoGLGtfmvQm0FnLFEw> DVMAR18/29 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/4Dw6MgDB4zw/Au1MFcYqS_QJ> at Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary on October 18, 2008 [image: Barleria montana] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2951469989&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfRAHsenZbJQJIVD4YUOnS_YwFTSQ> DVMAR19/30 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/4GdqVagnExk/84b-j9mkpwEJ> at Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary on October 18, 2008 [image: Dongari Koranti (Marathi: डोंगरी कोरांटी)] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2952321706&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdgy15yeSs6afsrP6oPz6omjNG3xQ> [image: Mountain Barleria] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2952323190&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzdQ9SSfqUbzVoPE5ntbbp47MN8h2g> DVMAR20/31 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/y51kk9xWI6w/RWYAu8BD3l0J> at Karnala Bird Sanctuary on October 25, 2008 [image: Barleria montana] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2974602172&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzfhcHIc1vTvm5g9mxN0o3ngvrPmYw> [image: Barleria montana] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2972148382&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzcWpe5ckN4hUzGi9gxh_A0ntaDZGQ> [image: Barleria montana] <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdinesh_valke%2F2972152042&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzcnj0me4EFrnvPvu2JsFyFJUJBCEQ> Regards.
