Re: [efloraofindia:40236] Is it Bidaria khandalens?
Bidaria khandalense (= Gymnema khandalense) is a liane and the most characteristic feature of this is presence of flat corky wings on the stem which are long running along stems. Very few plants have such a striking character and it is difficult to miss. Mishra and Singh (2001) who worked on threatened plants of Maharashtra report that it can be distinguished by broadly ovate and densely puberulous leaves, orbicular calyx lobes and corolla puberulous on both sides. However, I have seen both the plants and wild and do not feel this character is strong enough to distinguish them. The winged stem character is probably the best one and is very very obvious when mature individuals are seen. I do not see any specific distinguishing character in the photo by Dr. Phadke. If you have any more photos, showing any of the distinguishing characters we can discuss more on this. I am not aware of B. khandalense reports in Amboli, but it certainly is present in Khandala, Junnar, Karjat and Koyna forest areas. However, the chances of the photo belonging to Gymnema sylvestre are high as it is a much more common and variable plant.

Re: [efloraofindia:40237] Is it Bidaria khandalens?
Thanks for the elaborate reply. I was concentrating on the leaf character so the ID came to my mind. The chances of *Gymnema sylvestre* appear to be high. The other picture which I have posted from the same area had diifferent leaves so I concluded the likely ID in that species but here I was confused due to the leaf shape.

Re: [efloraofindia:40240] Khaya senegalensis-African mahogany
Dear Rashida ji and Dinesh ji *Khaya senegalensis* is probably one of the most favourite trees for plantation by the roadside in Pune city from the garden Dept. next to *Cassia siamea* and *Peltophorum ferruginea* in that order. I have seen it flowering in spring and fruiting too.I think I have posted its pictures earlier and can be searched. Its foliage looks wonderful green and though the stem and trunk of the fully grown tree looks smooth grey and robust it is weak and the big size branches fall easily in hurricane since the tree is not native.

[efloraofindia:40241] Change in Phenology of plants of Abu Hills?
Dear Friends, In our recent trip to Abu Hills, we were surprised to observe that many plant species which are supposed to fruit in end of May, are devoid of fruits. Species such as Carissa (Karonda), Malotus (Rohini), Syzygium (Jamun - two species) are still flowering. No fruiting till date. As per our observations, in June we use to collect fruits in this month. Our team members make regular monthly trips of the different areas in Southern belt of Rajasthan. Surprisingly, early flowering of orchids (Aerides sp.) were also noticed as per discussions made with Dr Satish Kumar Sharma. Experts may throw light on the probable reasons. Let me share that the water availability (both surface and underground) on Abu Hills is decreasing. Nakki Lake has limited water supply. Shockingly, after ESZ notification of Abu Hills, the grey cover (cement-concrete construction) increased on the name of beautification for the tourism purpose. The constructions on large scale especially in the catchment areas as well as open areas of water flow, are taking place with permission of Municipal Board Regards Satya Prakash Mehra Advisor - RSNH Manager - Project Boond Rajasthan --- On Mon, 5/7/10, Satish Phadke drsmpha...@gmail.com wrote: From: Satish Phadke drsmpha...@gmail.com Subject: [efloraofindia:40238] Re: Plant for ID 3 SMP 09062010 To: indiantreepix indiantreepix@googlegroups.com Date: Monday, 5 July, 2010, 11:56 AM Thanks for the all the responses.

It was quite an exercise. After going through the research papers (both) links given by Dr. Vijayasankar ji in earlier posts, I agree with Muthu ji's ID that my pics are indeed of Physalis angulata. Infact, right from the first pictures from 2008 posted of this species by Kiran ji, Satish Phadke ji, Suresh ji, Dr. Gurcharan ji, Dinesh ji all have bluish anthers of the flowers and the purple venation on fruits ! In the database we do not have ( correct me if I am wrong) any species with greenish-yellow anthers indicative of Physalis minima L. So all the species so far which have been ided as Physalis minima L. going by the paper, should be Physalis angulata. This is nothwithstanding the variations in the size of the petioles, leaf dentations and lenght the of pedicles. Now the confusion : Kew database treats Physalis minima L., Physalis angulata and Physalis lagascae as separate species. I am attaching one herbarium specimen of Physalis lagascae and one of Physalis minima L.. There are records for Physalis angulata but no herbarium specimen for download.

Re: [efloraofindia:40263] Fwd: For Id 050710MN
Dear All, Peony root has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for centuries. Peony flowers are also used medicinally, for example, in cough syrups and in herbal teas. In combination with other herbs, peony has been used to treat a wide variety of health conditions, including menstrual problems, kidney problems, pulmonary heart disease, uterine fibroids, and pneumonia. Peony has been applied to the skin to prevent wrinkles and has been taken by mouth to treat pulmonary heart disease and liver problems caused by chronic hepatitis. There is good scientific evidence of an effect of peony in the treatment of pulmonary heart disease. There is also a growing body of research on TCM formulas containing peony for women's health conditions including menstrual problems, uterine fibroids, hormone regulation, and heart disease prevention. Higher quality studies are needed before a firm recommendation can be made.

Re: [efloraofindia:40265] Etymology -Oxalis latifolia
Dear Selvalakshmi, Oxalic acid and oxalates are abundantly present in many plants. It was first isolated from wood-sorrel (*Oxalis*). Its presence makes it dangerous to eat unripe carambola or monstera fruits. It is also suggested to consume members of the spinach family in moderation as they are high in oxylates.

Thanks Tanay ji for the valuable info. Regards, Mani.

Peony flowers are also used medicinally, for example, in cough syrups and in herbal teas. In combination with other herbs, peony has been used to treat a wide variety of health conditions, including menstrual problems, kidney problems, pulmonary heart disease, uterine fibroids, and pneumonia. Peony has been applied to the skin to prevent wrinkles and has been taken by mouth to treat pulmonary heart disease and liver problems caused by chronic hepatitis. There is good scientific evidence of an effect of peony in the treatment of pulmonary heart disease. There is also a growing body of research on TCM formulas containing peony for women's health conditions including menstrual problems, uterine fibroids, hormone regulation, and heart disease prevention. Higher quality studies are needed before a firm recommendation can be made.

Re: [efloraofindia:40307] Fruit for ID. - 03Jul2010AR01
*Citrullus colocynthis* (L.) Schrad. Cucurbitaceae Colocynth, Bitter apple, Wild gourd (Biblical), Gall (Biblical) Uses Dried pulp of unripe fruit is used medicinally for its drastic purgative and hydragogue cathartic action on the intestinal tract. When the fruit is ripe its pulp dries to form a powder used as a bitter medicine and drastic purgative. This powder is so inflammable that the Arabs collect it to use as kindling. The fruit is used to repel moths from wool. In India, the vine is planted as a sand binder. Seed, often removed from the poisonous pulp and eaten in Central Sahara regions, contains a fixed oil. Folk Medicine Considered cathartic, ecbolic, emmenagogue, febrifuge, hydragogue, purgative, and vermifugal, the colocynth is used for amenorrhea, ascites, bilious disorders, cancer, fever, jaundice, leukemia, rheumatism, snakebite, tumors (especially of the abdomen), and urogenital disorders. According to Hartwell the plant figures into remedies for cancer, carcinoma, endothelioma, leukemia, corns, tumors of the liver and spleen, even the eye. It is interesting to note that this folk cancer remedy contains three antitumor ingredients: cucurbitacin B (active against PS-134 and KB tumor systems), cucurbitacin E (active against LL and KB systems) and the D-glucoside of beta-sitosterol (active against CA, LL and WA tumor systems). The pulp or leaves is a folk remedy for cancerous tumors. A decoction of the whole plant, made in juice of fennel, is said to help indurations of the liver. Roots may also be used as purgative against ascites, for jaundice, urinary diseases, rheumatism, and for snake-poison. Chemistry Active drug contains an ether-chloroform soluble resin, a phytosterol glycoside (citrullol), other glucosides (elaterin, elatericin B and dihydro-elatericin B), pectins and albuminoids. Bitter substance is colocynthin and colocynthetin. Roots contain a-elaterin, hentriacontane, and saponins. Per 100 g, the seed is reported to contain 556 calories, 6.7 g H2O, 23.6 g protein, 47.2 g fat, 19.5 g total carbohydrates, 1.5 g fiber, 3.0 g ash, 46 mg Ca, and 580 mg P. The oil contains oleic, linoleic, myristic, palmitic, and stearic acids. Seeds contain the phyto sterolin (ipurand), 2 phytosterols, 2 hydrocarbons, a saponin, an alkaloid, a polysaccharide or glycoside, and tannin. Description Annual or perennial (in wild) herbaceous vine; stems angular and rough; leaves rough, 3- to 7-lobed, 5-10 cm long, middle lobe sometimes ovate, sinuses open; flowers monoecious, solitary, peduncled, axillary, corollas 5-lobed; ovary villous; fruit a pepo, nearly globular, 4-10 cm in diameter with somewhat elliptical fissures, about size of small orange, green and yellow variegated becoming yellow when ripe, with hard rind, pulp light in weight, spongy, easily broken, light yellowish-orange to pale yellow; intensely bitter; seeds numerous, ovoid, compressed, smooth, dark brown to light yellowish-orange, borne on parietal placenta. Fl. summer. Germplasm Many cvs have been developed, but drug from these is inferior. Cultures in New Mexico produce large fruits but are less active. Reported from the Hindustani and Mediterranean Centers of Diversity, colocynth, or cvs thereof, is reported to tolerate bacteria, drought, high pH, low pH, sand and virus (2*n* = 22, 24) (Duke, 1978). Distribution Native to dry areas of North Africa, being common throughout the Sahara, areas of Morocco, Egypt and Sudan, eastward through Iran to India and other parts of tropical Asia. Has been known since Biblical times and cultivated in the Mediterranean region, especially in Cyprus and in India for many centuries. Ecology Ranging from Cool Temperate Moist through Tropical Desert to Wet Forest Life Zones, colocynth is reported to tolerate annual precipitation of 3.8 to 42.9 dm (mean of 10 cases = 11.9), annual temperature of 14.8 to 27.8°C (mean of 10 cases = 22.5), and pH of 5.0 to 7.8 (mean of 8 cases = 6.8). A highly xerophytic plant, it thrives where mean annual temperature is from 23-27°C and annual rainfall ranges from 25-37 cm. Thrives on sandy loam, subdesert soils, and along sandy sea coasts. Cultivation Easily cultivated from seed, as it grows rapidly, requiring no attention once fields have been sown. Harvesting In most regions where it is native, the crop is harvested from wild plants. Fruits gathered when still unripe but fully developed. Fruit is hand-picked, the thin, hard, gourd-like outer ring (pericarp) removed by peeling, and inner white spongy pulp filled with seeds, is dried in the sun or in ovens. Seeds constitute about 75% the weight of the dried product. Commercial colocynth occurs in two forms: as pulp from which most of seeds have been removed, and as 'bitter apples' or masses of pulp filled with seeds that have been rolled into balls. Both forms usually shipped in boxes. Yields and Economics Duke (1978) reported a seed yield of 6,700 kg/ha. Commercial supplies obtained from wild and cultivated

Schrad. Cucurbitaceae Colocynth, Bitter apple, Wild gourd (Biblical), Gall (Biblical) Uses Dried pulp of unripe fruit is used medicinally for its drastic purgative and hydragogue cathartic action on the intestinal tract. When the fruit is ripe its pulp dries to form a powder used as a bitter medicine and drastic purgative. This powder is so inflammable that the Arabs collect it to use as kindling. The fruit is used to repel moths from wool. In India, the vine is planted as a sand binder. Seed, often removed from the poisonous pulp and eaten in Central Sahara regions, contains a fixed oil. Folk Medicine Considered cathartic, ecbolic, emmenagogue, febrifuge, hydragogue, purgative, and vermifugal, the colocynth is used for amenorrhea, ascites, bilious disorders, cancer, fever, jaundice, leukemia, rheumatism, snakebite, tumors (especially of the abdomen), and urogenital disorders. According to Hartwell the plant figures into remedies for cancer, carcinoma, endothelioma, leukemia, corns, tumors of the liver and spleen, even the eye. It is interesting to note that this folk cancer remedy contains three antitumor ingredients: cucurbitacin B (active against PS-134 and KB tumor systems), cucurbitacin E (active against LL and KB systems) and the D-glucoside of beta-sitosterol (active against CA, LL and WA tumor systems). The pulp or leaves is a folk remedy for cancerous tumors. A decoction of the whole plant, made in juice of fennel, is said to help indurations of the liver. Roots may also be used as purgative against ascites, for jaundice, urinary diseases, rheumatism, and for snake-poison. Chemistry Active drug contains an ether-chloroform soluble resin, a phytosterol glycoside (citrullol), other glucosides (elaterin, elatericin B and dihydro-elatericin B), pectins and albuminoids. Bitter substance is colocynthin and colocynthetin. Roots contain a-elaterin, hentriacontane, and saponins. Per 100 g, the seed is reported to contain 556 calories, 6.7 g H2O, 23.6 g protein, 47.2 g fat, 19.5 g total carbohydrates, 1.5 g fiber, 3.0 g ash, 46 mg Ca, and 580 mg P. The oil contains oleic, linoleic, myristic, palmitic, and stearic acids. Seeds contain the phyto sterolin (ipurand), 2 phytosterols, 2 hydrocarbons, a saponin, an alkaloid, a polysaccharide or glycoside, and tannin.

Re: [efloraofindia:40320] Id requested
This is *Embelia tsjeriam-cottam*, i suppose. *E. basaal* has fleshy, smooth leaves that taste sour when chewed. By the way, the nomenclature of the latter species has been well researched by Dr.Almeida and few others. The accepted name for this, as per Flora of Ceylon, is *Embelia aurantiaca*. With regards R.
