Dear Mogul,
Your plant looks more like *Crotalaria retusa*.

Kindly refer the following discussions regarding your Camera query:

Crotalaria sp. of Leguminosae family. In Malayalam (in Tamil as well,
I guess) it is called Kilukkachedy. The dry fruit while shaking makes
nice sound (we use to play around when I was a child). The flowers are
not visible hence I may not be able to confirm the id.

Camera:
You may please visit http://www.dpreview.com and go for a through
research before making a decision. (I did the same for more than 16
months to know the trend, performance and picture clarity). I
personally suggest you to go for Panasonic Lumix series compact
camera. Panasonic is great with clarity resolution and all, when you
need to take macro pictures.
Even point and shoot Panasonic cameras are doing fantastic job.

You may please consult Dr Dinesh Valke who uses a Panasonic DMC-G1
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/5593762443/). This camera
is little expensive than that of your budget, I gues (about 40k). But
if you can get the same from the USA you can save around 6-10k, I am
sure.

Hello
This shrub was clicked at Chennai, South India by the road side. There
were
only 2 plants in the area, just at this one spot. One plant had dried up
flowers and fruits while the other had fresh flowers. The butterflies
were
more attracted to the plant with dried flowers. The butterflies seen were
the blue tiger, plain tiger, stripped tiger, common crow. Yes sir this
plant
attracts butterflies. Also what are the good cameras (within the budget
of
about 25 K, for plant photography, especially for the flowers where
images
would be sharp through out the picture. These images were taken in Canon

2011-08-04 Thread Smilax004

This is not Lindernia ciliata, for sure as Manudev pointed out, L.
ciliata has sessile leaves and corolla is white with pink throat.

I think it is the same species that I had posted few days back

http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/9c92e4f1281d83a1/dda4c0b95e27066a?lnk=gstq=Lindernia#dda4c0b95e27066a

The leaves of L antipoda is elliptic obovate and is about 2.5cm. Here,
if my assumption is correct, the leaves are more than 3cm long.
Further, the key in The flora of the Tamil Nadu Carnatic (page 1083)
says that calyx margin serrulate in L antipoda
Calyx margin entire for Lindernia ruellioides

I think this is Lindernia ruellioides even the one that posted on
August 2. (The flora of the Tamil Nadu Carnatic (1983), page 1092)

Neil ji,

Thank you very much for the valuable information. It seems that you are
collecting a good data on phenology as well. That is great!

Thanks for sharing valuable information on the early flowering. Do you think
that the early flowering is because of early onset of monsoon and good
amount of summer showers.

Further, the series of pictures are very nice depicting most of the
characters of the pretty climber. The amplexicaul leaves (leaves
having lobes that
completely surround the stem.) are clearly visible in the second and last
pictures.

 Hi Prasanna  Dr.Giby,
 Agreed. Flowering generally occurs between August and October, but this

 Neil ji,

 Thank you very much for the valuable information. It seems that you are
 collecting a good data on phenology as well. That is great!

 Thanks for sharing valuable information on the early flowering. Do you
 think that the early flowering is because of early onset of monsoon and good
 amount of summer showers.

 Further, the series of pictures are very nice depicting most of the
 characters of the pretty climber. The amplexicaul leaves (leaves having lobes 
 that
 completely surround the stem.) are clearly visible in the second and last
 pictures.

 Giby

 Hi Prasanna  Dr.Giby,
 Agreed. Flowering generally occurs between August and October, but
 this year it commenced early in June and ended abruptly around the 3rd week
 of July. Sending a few photographs.
 Please also check the archives of this group for my previous
 photographs of the leaves, flowers  fruit.

Looks like J. betonica. Were bract of all the plants green or you
could see some individuals with white bracts (a specialized leaf or

 I was given to understand that  best  Oroxylum indicum, or  Shonyak of

 I did not expect them in gangetic plains.



 So I was very surprised when in peripheral vision out of running cab window

 on a 2 foot tall sapling I had seen in a herbal garden in Jamnagar about a
 decade ago...  here was a stand of Oroxylum indicum on the hot humid and  
 almost
 at or even a foot or two below sea level Gangetic plains  on the
 northern fringes of Calcutta...



 I stopped and took some pictures, and picked up a fallen flower  from
 the PUBLIC sidewalk...

 could not see or take pictures of the trunk or the bark etcbecause of a
 huge  wall and could not pick up more of the fallen flowers because no
 sooner had I picked up a flower and spread it open that a cycle riding
 plains clothes person came and very authoritatively shooed me away..  saying
 it was a restricted area   I could not understand how can a public
 footpath with two bus-stops within 50 feet of where I was standing be a
 restricted area...



 Anyway, when I got home I had some dark and one acceptable picture of the
 leaves...Pods had previously opened and most likely dispersed its seeds
 away..the day before it had rained very heavily. I did not see any on
 the footpath below in that quick 2 minute sojourn...
