Re: [efloraofindia:48773] Vinca major and V. minor

You have to see the two growing in nature to appreciate the differences. I
believe your first two specimens are V. major and third V. probably V.minor
(though not typical).

 A few months back there was a lot of discussion on this group and some
 confusion primarily because of representation of the two species at FOI.
 Whereas the specimens of V. major are not typical of the species, the true
 specimens of V. major are depicted under V. minor. I have collected a lot of
 V. major in Kashmir, Manali and other hill stations. The plant is much lax
 with trailing branches reaching several metres, leaves which are usually
 ovate, almost as broad as long, truncate or cordate at base,  flowers nearly
 1.5-2 cm across borne on almost 3-5 cm long stalks. The leaf margins and
 calyx lobes are ciliate.
   I could not find V. minor in India but was lucky to find it growing
 in California here. The plant is with shorter branches, smaller nearly
 elliptic-oblong leaves which are narrowed at both ends, smaller flowers
 nearly 2.5 cm across on nearly 1-2 cm long stalks. Leaf margins and calyx
 lobes are glabrous

 I am uploading both V. major from Manali and V. minor from California to
 show better comparison so that V. minor could be searched in India and
 brought to our databases.

 plants. On Sat. I took most of them out of the pond and I found some fruits
 (8711 and 8712). I put them in water and yesterday one of the fruits burst,
 spreading the seed in the water (8741and 8743). Today many seeds are sunk
 down.  I am now curious to see what normally remains hidden to our eyes.
 Shall watch and keep you informing.

 Hi,

 I've just joined this group and I already have ID requests:) I
 photgraphed some flowers during a trek in Uttarakhand earlier this
 month. I've managed to identify most of them from various sources, but
 a few have still eluded me. Hoping to get some help here:) Thank you
 in advance!

 This is the first one. I found these very beautiful so I'm very
 curious to know their name:

 the info i can provide is as below:
 Date/Time-September
 Location- Chamoli, Uttarakhand, around 12,000ft asl
 Habitat- wild
 Plant Habit- Shrub or herb I guess
 Height/Length - can't remember, perhaps 7-8 inches
 Flower colour - blue

 Any info would be wlecome.

 thank you.

Re: [efloraofindia:48786] Are these Cinquefoil?

Yes Nirupa ji

It is Potentilla atrosanguinea with two varieties var. atrosanguinea (red
flowers) and var. argyrophylla (yellow flowers).

Dear Members,

My new book 'Trees of Pune' on which I was working for last 3 years was
launched in Pune on 19 th September. Brief information on the contents of
the book was posted earlier but can also be seen on a page at
www.idsahyadri.com The interactive map on this site provides viewing of
locations for 250 species of rare, heritage and avenues trees of Pune on
Google map. I would like to know if every tree species in any city has been
documented before.

The navigation for identification is based on features of leaves. A sample
page image is also provided. I am sure that ITP members will enjoy
navigating through this field guide.

The book though titled as 'Trees of Pune' is useful for every city because
most of the 482 trees would be found in every city.
The book is priced at Rs. 600 and as indicated earlier a discount of Rs.
100 is the privilege of ITP members.
Please send your requirements so they can be catered to. With regards,

Re: [efloraofindia:48801] Waghchora again

Nice timing. Actually the flowers are drying up But I imagine what you are
calling fangs? The pectinate margins of the side lobes of the now brown
coloured labellum may be? Labellum was normally white.
Yes a part of pollinium is visible in the last picture, which seems to be
dislodged from the pouch also called thecae which are visible as two arch on
the top. The pollinum is stuck with the stigma.
