Ajinkya ji
Your answer has really brought in a new dimension to identification of this
plant and possibly a few more. Although Chandan betu in Bengali refers to
Chenopodium album, but Chandan batwa in Maharashtra refers to Atriplex
hortensis. The plant looks much closer to that, but only close up of
fruiting branch will clinch issue.

 I found these chenopodium species growing in a field The first one i
 guess is C. album, not sure of the rest 2... Could any of these 2 be C.
 glaucum or C. foliosum? Had not seen this red chenopodium. Please if any1
 can help me in the identification of these 2 species (Pic 2 (DSC00129) and 3
 (DSC00131)) and confirm the pic 1 which i propose as C. album.

 Thanks,

 Mrs. Puri

  Hallo,
 here come my  Flora pictures of the Year 2010,
 Floralis Gene'rica-100_5904  two fotos.

 taken on 28. March 2010 at about 11:00 Hrs.  in a park near Buenos Aires.
 The argentine architect Eduardo Catalano presented it to the City Buenos
 Aires in 2002.  According to Catalano this flower is a synthesis of all
 the flowers and is both a hope that is reborn every day to open. It is a
 metal flower, called Floralis Gene'rica.
 It opens in the morning and closes at sunset, there is an electrical
 system that automatically opens and closes the petals depending on the time
 of the day. At night the flower closes emanating from inside a red glow and
 rebirth open in the morning the next day. This mechanism also closes the
 flower if strong winds blow. (Wiki)
 I would have liked to stay there the whole day and in the nightto watch
 the flower closing and the red glow.

 For more information visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floralis_Generica


  The next two Fotos are Cap Horn Albatross. They were taken on 22. March
 2010, 8:33 hrs. We visited Chile, started our cruis in Val Paraiso, all the
 way southwards upto cap horn, thru Beagle Channel, Magellan Channel and then
 northwards to Buenos Aires. Cape Horn is the southmost point of south
 america. Before Panama Channal was opened in 1914 ships carrying trade
 around the world had to sail around the Cape Horn and the passage was and
 is dangarous. Strong winds, strong currents and icebergs, coming from
 Antarktis.
 At 8:30 on 22. March 2010 it was extremely cold, extremely windy and the
 sea was very rough. Very few people were on the deck, most people preffered
 to watch the Cap Horn Albatross Monument from the warm and cosy panorama
 deck. As you see in the foto, there was not much to see because of the fog.
 I was thinking of Ernest Shackleton all the time. I had read about his
 endurance-expedition, his foot-march crossing the South Georgia
 Island, without sleep, without food, without a map, climbilg over 900 meters
 and sliding down to the otherside to a whaling station to get help for his
 people strandes on the elefant island. I had read about his expedition
 sitting near a fireplace and I was shivering. The cold on the deck was
 nothing as compared to what Shackleton and his crew had experienced.
 The captain read the beautiful verse by Sara Vial,
 I, the albatross that awaits for you at the end of the world...
 I, the forgotten soul of the sailors lost that crossed Cape Horn from all
 the seas of the world.
 But die they did not in the fierce waves,
 for today towards eternity in my wings they soar
 in the last crevice of the Antarctic winds
  *Sara Vial
 Dec - 1992*
 People standing on the deck were silent, noone spoke a word or even
 clicked a foto. There was holy atmosphere, no wonder.
 The Cap Horn Albatross Monument stands on the southern point of the
 Hermite Islands in the Archipelago Terra del Fuego (Land of Fire), 1400 feet
 above the sea. It consists of two triangular bronze halves and from a
 certain point on the northside, the sculpture looks like a flying Albatross.
  The sculpture, the work of the Chilean sculptor Jose Balcells, was
 dedicated on December 5, 1992 and stands in the memory of all those who lost
 their lives at the Horn. The Vers of Sara Vial is carved on a nearby granite
 marker.  On the island there is a navy station of Chile.

 I am shivering while writing these lines, but I am very happy to have
 visited one of the ends of the world. What else can be my Foto of the year
 2010.
 Regards
 Nalini

Re: [efloraofindia:61161] confirmation of ID

2011-01-24 Thread Vijayasankar
Nanu Puri ji,

To me also all the three pictures appear to be of *Chenopodium album*. This
is a complex species with several infra-specific forms and semi-cultivated
varieties, probably due to natural hybridization. Different cytotypes (two
diploids: wide-leaved and narrow-leaved forms; and an hexaploid) said to
occur in semi-cultivated forms in India (Gangopadhyay et al., 2002), thus
making the taxon more complex with variable phenotypes. The coloration of
leaves is also not uncommon, i suppose.
They are not matching to C. glaucum or C. foliosum.

 Your answer has really brought in a new dimension to identification of this
 plant and possibly a few more. Although Chandan betu in Bengali refers to
 Chenopodium album, but Chandan batwa in Maharashtra refers to Atriplex
 hortensis. The plant looks much closer to that, but only close up of
 fruiting branch will clinch issue.

 Dear members,

 I found these chenopodium species growing in a field The first one i
 guess is C. album, not sure of the rest 2... Could any of these 2 be C.
 glaucum or C. foliosum? Had not seen this red chenopodium. Please if any1
 can help me in the identification of these 2 species (Pic 2 (DSC00129) and 3
 (DSC00131)) and confirm the pic 1 which i propose as C. album.

 Thanks,
