Hi Dr.Mesta, Thanks for your comments. Have studied the flora of Matheran with Mr.B.G.Gavade [Dr.Almeida's student]. Don't think this is D.cordifolia which has strong often branched thorns scattered over the trunk and larger branches. Also don't think it is Govindu / Maskudal [D.montana]. Have it on my farm. Also have not figured out how you deduced this is a deciduous tree ?

It is possible to sun dry the fruits. We split the raw fruits (take the firm ones, not the squishy ones) into two and add red chilly powder, asafoetida powder, fenugreek (methi) powder and salt and keep it in the sun just as we do with raw mangoes. As for the wine, it is again a very amateur attempt. This cannot be called a proper wine in the strict sense. We usually make it from gooseberries, so we tried substituting it with bilimbi fruits. For this whole fruits are used, one layer of fruit is overlaid with a layer of jaggery and so on till the bottle (we usually use what we call 'Bharani' which is a ceramic container which we use to store pickles traditionally) is filled. We also add a handful of powdered cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, half of which is spread at the bottom of the vessel and half at the top after filling the layers of bilimbi and jaggery. The vessel is tightly closed and is kept for about 40-45 days preferably in a dark storeroom. The wine then can be strained and used. We also tried another little experiment, the residue of the fruits after straining the wine we sundried and it turned out to be a tasty sweet candy like kismis.

Re: [efloraofindia:52232] The lime butterfly the lime fruit
The Common Lime Butterfly gets its name because Citrus species are the food plants for its larvae. It has this habit of hovering over citrus trees or plants and laying eggs here and there. Lays only one egg on one leaf as wikipedia says. As Citrus plants have this specific aroma so may be it gets attracted to anything citurs it comes across. Nothing to do anything with chilly.

Re: [efloraofindia:52233] {MNS:6119} (Ghost Like) Wild Flower from Lower Palani Hills
I had been thinking. It has to be Habenaria longicornu but unable to find a
suitable description for this.
Not Habenaria plantaginea for sure as lip is totally different and spur it
too long.
I will recheck and confirm.

lower Palani hills in the 2nd week of october.
This wild flower looks like a ghost image.

Not to be carried away by this specimen of M. kauki from Wallich's Catalogue.

Re: [efloraofindia:52258] Please identify this Toadstool
Hi Neil, Nice picture set of larger mushroom kinds, Am yet to see mushrooms of that size. Toad stool are known to be poisonous and inedible, As always, I wonder, how do farmers learn/test if a wild mushroom is edible or not. 1. One practice I heard, being followed by villagers in Mysore dist. Cook mushrooms with Brinjal. If the brinjal turns black its inedible. [To be validated] 2. small mushrooms turned blue are inedible 3. Mushrooms growing under certain known trees like saalu dhoopa are consider edible. 4. The milk (latex) of certain trees are known to burn the skin. If mushrooms grow under such trees they are considered inedible. Each family in Agumbe pick go mushrooming during the season and pick upto 3 gunny bags of edible mushrooms in the forests. They then have to consume within 2 days.

Toad stool are known to be poisonous and inedible, As always, I wonder, how do farmers learn/test if a wild mushroom is edible or not. 1. One practice I heard, being followed by villagers in Mysore dist. Cook mushrooms with Brinjal. If the brinjal turns black its inedible. [To be validated] 2. small mushrooms turned blue are inedible 3. Mushrooms growing under certain known trees like saalu dhoopa are consider edible. 4. The milk (latex) of certain trees are known to burn the skin. If mushrooms grow under such trees they are considered inedible. Each family in Agumbe pick go mushrooming during the season and pick upto 3 gunny bags of edible mushrooms in the forests. They then have to consume within 2 days.

So, finally got the protologue or the type description of this.
I reads in latin as:
follis lanceolatis canaliculatis recurvis, racemo laxo paucifloro, bracteis
membranaceis acuminatissimis ovario acuato, brevioribus, labelii tri-partiti
lacinia intermedia liari layeralibus falcatus crenatis obtusis breviore,
sepalis lateribus riangularibus supremo erecto a petalis horicontalibus
incurvis libero, calcare clavato compresso ovario longiore.
VIx 5 poll. altus. Folia radicalia 5, subito in squamis acuminatissimis
mutata, Sepala patula, nulla reflexa. Calcar 1.5 p. longum. Bases soluti
antherae elongati. Processus carnosi recurvi.
This may be translated as:
Leaf lanceolate, channeled, recurved, raceme lax, less flowered, bracts
membraneous acuminate sheathing ovary but shorter, labellum trilobed, middle
lobe linear and shorter, lateral falcate, crenate, obtuse, lateral sepal
triangular, dorsal erect, petals horizontal, curved inwards and free, spur
clavate laterally compressed, much longer than ovary.
Barely (can reach upto) 5 feet high. Leaves radical, 5, abruptly acuminate.
Sepals spreading, not reflexed. Spur 1.5 long. Base od the anther free
and elongated. Process fleshy and recurved.
So, most probably this is Habenaria longicornu Lindl. :P

Re: [efloraofindia:52282] plant from North Goa
Great analysis Pankaj! But i think the id of this plant is resolved by Dr.Almeida Dr. Gurcharan as M. kauki, so the thread can be closed. Description for M. kauki in FBI matches well with the specimen. I think, your doubt about retuse/emarginate leaf apex is due to Wallich's Type specimen, which is actually M. hexandra as also we can see the det in the bottom as well as top right corners of the sheet. M. hexandra is a common coastal/riparian element in southern part of India and it is completely different from the specimen posted here.

Regards Vijayasankar On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 1:25 PM, Pankaj Kumar sahanipan...@gmail.comwrote: This is getting interesting..AND CONFUSING.being a botanist I will always prefer to look into type specimens and protologues. Firstly the link provided by Yazdy sir are of general pics and not for any authentic site on internet. Even if they are, the leaves there are more of lanceolate with acute apex. Secondly, I found description on page 549 (may be by mistake you wrote 449) of volume 3 in Flora of British India. There Hooker clearly says that the Plant on upper hand Wallich 4149 E, and there is a note on the sheet which bears original signatures of Wallich as well as Sir J D Hooker. He has clearly demarkated all the plants on that particular sheet. Then I looked into Plants of Coromandel as it has been mentioned for Manilkara hexandra in Fl. Brit. India by Hook.f. and found following sketch. Very interestingly, the sketch depicts bilobed apex of the leaf for Manilkara hexandra. So I tried to check for the Type of Manilkara hexandra which is Wallich 4148 which I again found to be a composite herbarium with multiple plants. Turning back to Species Plantarum where the original protologue (type description) of taxa exists, (as Mimosups kauki L. Sp. Pl. 1: 349, 1753), Linne has differentiated the two taxa desribed by him by the leafs. Mimosups elengi - foliis alternis remotis [which means: leaves alternate and remotely placed) Mimosups kauki - foliis confertis [leaves dense] If we look at the density of leaves and the length of the petiole according to Carl Linnaeus and Sir J D Hooker Dr. Gurcharan, then I dont think, I will call this as dense rather they look same as Mimusops elengi as they are clearly distant from each other At the same time if we look at the leaf apex then this cant be M. kauki atleast. I will prefer to call these pics as unresolved. Even Hooker writes: The great difficulty that has been raised over Manilkara kauki , Linn., has been due to two causes: 1. Wallich identified his Amherst plant, the true M. kauki with Roxburgh's Deccan M. hexandra; 2. botanists, not looking to the fruit and perhaps not having it always look at, have betaken themselves to the degree of notching of the staminodes for diagnostic characters.

Re: [efloraofindia:52288] Re: ID request-111010-PKA3
I wonder this American plant which although widespread in Asia has ever been reported from India, even Flora of China does not mention it. In China the plant may ascend to altitudes of 2000 m, so it is equally doubtful whether it can ascend to around 3500 m in Western Himalayas. The upper leaves of E. ciliatum are lanceolate and narrower. Here they are clearly ovate. For me, as such, E. brevifolium of Fl. Simlensis (closely related to E. royleanum) is the closest match On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 1:13 PM, Dr Pankaj Kumar sahanipan...@gmail.comwrote: Seems more like Epilobium cilliatum...

Re: [efloraofindia:52306] Please identify this Toadstool
Dear Neil Ji, I think this is *Amanita pantherina *commonly known as ‘panther mushroom”. This is a toxic species.

Re: [efloraofindia:52310] Please identify this Toadstool
Toadstool is the common name for an inedible or poisonous mushrooms in some countries. Mushroom experts/communities discourage the usage of this particular word as there is no scientific classification/description. This means - a wild mushroom or a wild toadstool could be poisonous.

Dr. Pankaj Kumar,
Two things to point out from your text. First obvious error of
translation..Plant barely 5 feet? May be 5 inches. Secondly H.
longicornu is shown (In Orchids of Nilgiri, BSI) with cauline leaves
as against radical in your text. The shape of the lateral lobes of lip
also does not tally (larger and divergent) wth the illustration of H.
longicornu. There is a passing ref of H. decipiens Wight along with H.
longicornu. Regards, Shrikant
