It looks like either pommelo or the sour variety called Vadagapuli in
Malayalam. Probably grapefruit. I have both and will try to send my

The fruit Shantanu is referring to as Jamrool, is Wax Jambu, Syzygium
samarangense. However, these flowers are not of that plant. To me they
look like of the Pomelo tree, called Chakotra in Hindi (Citrus
maxima). Citrus X paradisi is a cross between Pomelo and Orange.

On close scrutiny, the flowers don't quite look like Veronica

Veronica beccabunga flowers show, is missing here. Also the petals
appear to be very round. Also, the leaf vein pattern looks different.

Dear Navendu
If it is Delphinium then the species should be brunonianum except for
the few exceptions.
Delphinium for sure, not sure about the species.

 Hi,

 We are coming up with a play school in Noida, keeping explore and learn from 
 nature at its core. We would like to draw some ideas on the following:

 - Creating natural habitat for birds,

 - Creating natural habitat for butterflies,

 - What plants to use in Walkways/pathways?

 - Can you recommend some flowering plants that are conducive for water, soil 
 and heat conditions of Noida?

 - Shall we create a nesting space for barn owl? Will this be good for 
 children?

 - Are there any plants that keep mosquitoes away? We have a big sewage 
 treatment plant across the road with thick green growth. Evenings, we want to 
 use this premise as an activity center which will have a few outdoor 
 activities in amphitheater.

 - Any ideas that you have and find good for young children are welcomed.

 Pls do let me know how can we make this space more interesting and abundant 
 with nature.

We used to play with this genus as well as Hordeum murinum, keeping the
inflorescence between the edges of two palms and moving them, the spike used
to run fast. The competition would be who does it faster.

Pankaj, your species could be Setaria verticillata which has got hooked
bristles in the inflorescence that help them to stick to the cloth. I don't

 We used to play with this genus as well as Hordeum murinum, keeping the
 inflorescence between the edges of two palms and moving them, the spike used
 to run fast. The competition would be who does it faster.

I think most species of Setaria have barbs ob bristles to make them stick or
move (our chilhood game). S. verticillata has retrorse barbs, whereas others
have anterorse barbs, so it would affect whether spikes are moving forward
or backward in my game.

Thanx Gurcharan ji, for the explanation. So, S. verticillata should be the
one which we (during good young days!) used to play with as it had had
greater grip (when compare to other species) due to retrorse barbs. Antrorse
barbs are not that effective as the grip is obviously less.

 Thanx Gurcharan ji, for the explanation. So, S. verticillata should be the
 one which we (during good young days!) used to play with as it had had
 greater grip (when compare to other species) due to retrorse barbs. Antrorse
 barbs are not that effective as the grip is obviously less.

 I think most species of Setaria have barbs ob bristles to make them stick
 or move (our chilhood game). S. verticillata has retrorse barbs, whereas
 others have anterorse barbs, so it would affect whether spikes are moving
 forward or backward in my game.

2010-10-13 Thread Gurcharan Singh
Fixing species of pumkins is really a tough job, leaves and flowers don't
help much (although C. moschata and C. mixta have white bloches on leaves).
I think in the ultimate analysis fruit stalk and point of its attachment may
help in fixing the exact identity.

Pankaj, look at Prashant's 2nd picture. I think the margins have
rounded teeth. The identifcal pattern on the petals would be too much
of a coincidence. :-)  What say you?

 By the way Tabish sir, your plant has crenulate margin but I think
 Prashant sir's pic has serrate or serrulate margin?
 They should be different.

 Duchesnea indica has 3-toothed epicalyx, which I am not able to see here.
 Also somehow flowers look smaller. Prashant do you have a shot focussing
 underside of flower, or a better side view of flower.

2010-10-13 Thread Gurcharan Singh
Yes all accounts suggest that the species is named after the second author.
In a combined paper describing new species, it is strange to find two
species having two authors, and third only one. On second thought having one
species whose you are author is better or losing the authorship and naming
species in your honour. A difficult choice for me atleast.

Yes Gurcharan ji,  Impatiens devendrae Pusalkar seems to be the

  so,
I will be a little amused. :-)

   By the way Tabish sir, your plant has crenulate margin
  but
   I
   think
   Prashant sir's pic has serrate or serrulate margin?
   They should be different.

Re: [efloraofindia:50662] Delonix regia var. flavida

2010-10-13 Thread Gurcharan Singh
Navendu ji
Last month you had raised question about differences between Caesalpinia
pulcherrima var. flava and Delonix regia var. flavida. Today I had a casual
check and found these:
Sepals in Delonix are narrower and valvate in bud, in Caesalpinia they are
broader and imbricate
Stamens slightly longer than petals in Delonix, they are 2-3 times longer in
Caesalpinia
Fruits 30-50 cm long in Delonix, less than 10 cm in Caesalpinia

 Hi
 sharing snap of the Yellow variety of Royal Poinciana (Delonix regia var.
 flavida )...commonly called Gulmohar.
 Although it is endemic to Madagascarit is widely grown in India as an
 avenue tree.
 We call it Radha-choora in Bengalias the red Gulmohar is called
 Krishna-choora.

 regards
 Shantanu  :)
