Thanks a lot, Hanno ji. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Hanno Schaefer Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2021 at 12:56 Subject: Re: SK 2854 01 January 2021 - Cucurbitaceae To: J.M. Garg <[email protected]> Cc: Susanne Renner
Very nice photographs! This is a female plant of *Schizopepon* in Cucurbitaceae. The 3-valved conical fruit, bifid tendrils and dioecious sex system are typical. The genus name points to the conspicuous dehiscent (splitting) fruits. Chakravarty (1959) describes the fruit as “trivalved from apex to base, valve involute and elastically dehiscing the seeds”. To identify the species, I would need a herbarium specimen, it’s difficult from photographs… maybe *Schizopepon bicirrhosus* (C.B. Clarke) C. Jeffrey. Best Hanno Schaefer *From: *"J.M.

Some earlier relevant feedback: I could not get any idea as to the genus as per comparative images at Cucurbitaceae <https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/10/cucurbitaceae/> May I request somebody to pl. help. - from me To me it looks Marah species/ echinocystis or its nearest ally The three-parted capsule reminds me of Ipomoea- from Dr. Sussane Renner It is not Ipomoea sp. Thank you Dr. Renner! Saroj Kasaju Just s guess Can it be some Cyclanthera sp. ?- from Anil ji Did not find a match! Thank you Anil Ji ! Saroj Kasaju I guessed as Cyclanthera on the basis of characteristic splitting pattern of the fruits. Maybe some newly introduced species. Kindly compare with all the species given at POWO or some other international database.- from Anil ji Yes Anil Ji. I checked all listed from POWO ! Shall do once again! Thank you.
