Thanks a lot, Chris ji ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Chris Fraser-Jenkins Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2023 at 00:19 Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:456765] Fwd: Blue Fern To: J.M. Garg <[email protected]>
Its a Selaginella, although its not really showing enough of it in these photos, I wonder if it climbs and straggles up bushes? If so it is almost certainly S. willdenowii. There are a few different Selaginellas that show that lovely almost metallic blue, but S. willdenowii is the best one. There are fine plants of it in the Acharya Chandra Bose National Botanic Garden, Kolkata (in "Round House no. 2). There are also some nice white variegated ones, like S. mertensii from S. America, now cultivated world wide, and best of all, the beautiful S. picta from eastern Arunachal Pradesh. South America also has one that is bright scarlet underneath, S. haematodes.

It was therefore very exciting to see it in the wild at the Bodogol National Park in Java, Indonesia. The blue is really unbelievable! I attach some photos and apologise for sending images of non-Indian flora. Enjoy! Sushmita Jha -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "eFloraofIndia" group.
