thanks Gurcharanji these leaves are reminiscent of those we eat in usa... called watercress... but Aswini's pic leaves seem more delicate , not fleshy and are elongated with narrower tips than the watercress i know... though your number six leaves seem to be like those of Ashwini's case... case of upper leaves vs lower leaves? or different cultivar?
thanks for the flower pictures its 4 petals again reminds me of cruciferrous veg... and if i remember correctly, should not be eaten from wildcrafting... water hemlock grows in similar places and flowers look similar though FIVE petalled... Ashwini from market it may be farmed so safe to eat , but dont wildcraft to eat ... I would like to see if the vendors bring in flowered plants to sell. usha di On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 3:07 PM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > Here are the images Ushadi > > 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 Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 9:14 AM, Ushadi Micromini < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> foi links nor the foi itself opening// servers not working for about 24 >> hours >> error msges >> repeatedly >> >> usha >> >> On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 9:32 PM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Here are flowers of Water Cress Nasturtium officinale and Sium latijugum >>> >>> >>> http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Large%20Leaflet%20Water%20Parsnip.html >>> >>> http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Watercress.html >>> >>> 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 Sun, Mar 15, 2015 at 7:01 PM, Ashwini Bhatia < >>> [email protected]> wrote: >>> >>>> Thank you Dr Singh.
