Re: [efloraofindia:55858] Id280810phk
Dear Yazdy Sir, When you put this taxa for search on google, most of the plant that comes on the search are either Cabomba aquatica and Limnophila aquatica and sometimes L. sessiliflora. Wwe shouldnt always trust the links on internet. Even renowned sites have issues. As the name suggests, heterophylla, when the plants emerge outside water the leaf morphology changes and it is very much different from the part submerged in water. I am still not sure of the species of above plant but to confirm Limnophila the best thing is to smell it. It has a very pleasant camphor+fennel.

Re: [efloraofindia:55898] Flora of Uttarakhand- Herb53 for Id- JM
A few things to note as amply focussed by Pennel and Tibetan Medicinal Plants Basal portion of galea as long as corolla tube (1/2 as long in P. pyramidata) Inflorescence is shorter with few fascicles (very dense and up to 1 ft long in P. pyramidata as per FBI) Bracts don't conceal calyx (bracts are hairy and hide calyx according to Polunin) Agreed the two species are very closely related, on the basis of above observations I would go with P. pectinata.

Forget about the range of the species while rethinking. If a plant can be found in Himachal then it can be found in Uttarakhand too as there is not much distance. 1. Stem hairy. 2.

Perhaps yes, although petals look shorter and broader. My query about 5 stamens was correct. FBI puts it under Cotyledon oreades and writes: This species has habit altogether of Sedum, but it could not be put there because it has only 5 stamens; neither can it be put under Crassula because Crassula has always opposite leaves. The upper congested leaves give impression of opposite leaves but lower leaves seen last photograph appear alternate. It is now known that the species may have 10 stamens or 5 reduced to staminodes. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

Due regards to Dr. Gurucharan sir, Vijayshankarji and all moderators, who came forward with a nice idea to celebrate a weekly episode every month with special emphasis on a particular plant family. Followed by the successful coordination on Apocynaceae by Dr. Balkar sir, I've been assigned to co-ordinate the episode on Poaceae. Honestly speaking, I have a very little knowledge on grasses. But the inspirational words received from Gurucharanji and a desire to learn grasses have promoted me to take over this difficult task. Hope, I'll get full support and co-operation from all the members and moderators in this regard. --- Here are some basic information on grasses which i've compiled from various sites: *The English word grass probably comes from a German word 'gras', generally used to describe any herbage suitable for livestock grazing. In general, we consider “grass” to those plant species most commonly used in lawns and pastures, or used to cover road shoulders. *Botanically three major characteristics separate the grass family from all other plant families: 1. The flowers lack petals and are borne between bracts in a leafless inflorescence. 2. The leaves are flat, long and slender, and form a sheath around the stem. 3. The stems are round, generally hollow, and somewhat swollen at the nodes. P.S.: Although an unknown plant specimen may possess one or even two of these characteristics, that does not necessarily mean you are looking at a grass. It is the combination of all three characteristics that defines the grass family. Distribution: Grasses are the most widely distributed group of flowering plants, occurring from well above the Arctic Circle through the temperate and tropical regions to Antarctica. Indeed, grasses are the only flowering plants to grow on the Antarctic continent. (P. Singh, 2008) *INDIAN SCENARIO* (Ref.: P. Singh, 2008) Hooker in Flora of British India in 1896 reported 135 genera and 734 species from areas of present day India. Bor recognized 220 genera and 1165 species and infraspecific taxa from India. Bor while publishing his monumental work on grasses of Burma, Ceylon, India and Pakistan, in 1960 divided the grasses into two subfamilies Panicoideae and Pooideae . According to Clayton and Renvoize (1986) the family is represented by about 10,000 species in the world spread under 651 genera under 40 tribes and 6 subfamilies. Karthikeyan et al (1989) recognized 263 genera of grasses in India. - Links for the beginners (that may be useful in identification of grasses): 01. www.offwell.free-online.co.uk/grass_id/index.htm Also attaching some pdf files that could be of help for those who are Grassophobics like me. My 2nd mail will provide information on the classical taxonomic works and recent phylogenetic works carried out on grasses. The 3rd mail will provide information on the links on grasses already discussed on eflora. Further, I request all the moderators/members to post photographs/links/literature on grasses as much as possible during this week. Best regards, Ritesh.

Dear Tanay Perhaps the name rescue grass was given around 1953 in USA to a grass introduced from Argentina. According to Southern Cultivator, Vol. 19, page 283, the grass was found useful for restoring fields used for pea cultivation. This grass matures in autumn, is turned under to plant peas for better growth, also ensuring that sufficient seeds of grass are available for the next season to grow. *http://tinyurl.com/26fyuo5* * * *** -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

Re: Fwd: [efloraofindia:55963] shrub for id please
This is Malpigia punicifolia only, as identified by Sri Inghalekarji. There are a few varieties of this plant and hence the leaves are variable. --- On Mon, 6/12/10, J.M.

Stamens can be seen about 10 and not many. It is Malpighia sp, the Barbados Cherry. It may be M. emarginata or M. glabra. Regards, Shrikant” “I checked the pics on the net and it seems to match those of Malpigia punicifolia. Many thanks for the id help.
