Thanks a lot, Manoj ji. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Manoj Chandran Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2019 at 21:57 Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:136328] Coix exploded from Hooghly To: J.M. Garg <[email protected]>
The broad wings of glume of male spikelet, beaked involucre as seen from the longitudinal section of involucre and the habitat (water logged ditch, 6 feet high above water surface), suggests Coix aquatica. It would be nice to see the dissected involucre of other Coix species also. A photo of the whole plant would be useful for confirmation. On Mon, Dec 2, 2019 at 10:33 AM J.M.
