The photograph from the top can be taken if you are standing higher on the
slope and taking photograph of a branch  of a tree growing lower than you.
Yes male and female cones are separate, male are much smaller rarely more
than 5 cm long and less than 1 cm in breadth. They fall off soon after
pollination. The female cones are much longer, woody and stay on the tree
for a long time.

The photograph from the top can be taken if you are standing higher on the
slope and taking photograph of a branch  of a tree growing lower than you.
Yes male and female cones are separate, male are much smaller rarely more
than 5 cm long and less than 1 cm in breadth. They fall off soon after
pollination. The female cones are much longer, woody and stay on the tree
for a long time.

There are at least two species of Japanese maples: Acer japonicum and Acer
palmatum

More accurately, however, Acer japonicum is downy Japanese maple, and Acer
palmatum as Smooth Japanese maple.

Vijayadas ji,
They are earth worms. They come out because of too much watering. They
will perish if the water submerges them. I have experienced this when
ants have entered my wormi-compost tank. One way of saving the worms,
I thought was to inundate the tank. The ants were wiped out but the
earthworms started coming out and trying to escape. we had to put them
in another tank and save them. Later we re introduced them and
everything was fine. The earth worms in your picture are trying to
save their lives.
Regards
Yazdy.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.

Some earlier relevant feedback:

“After further discussion with Tabish ji, this plant is after all *not H.
sarmentosa*

The search for this illusive plant is on.”

From another thread:
With flowers I dont mind calling that plant as *Ranunculus cymbalariae*, *but
leaves are pretty different*. This is reported from Sikkim according to the
reference. But as you say the number of petals. I imagine if I have any
other option. He does state that the species is highly variable.
*Leaf matches well with* *Ranunculus stewartii*. from Pankaj ji.

flowersofin...@gmail.com, Tabish tabi...@gmail.com



This plant lying unidentified at FOI website has been bothering me for a
long time. Today I had a go at it, starting from the lead that plant has
more than five petals, not typical of Ranunculus. I thought of taking help
from eFlora website. Flora of Pakistan was not much help as it does not give
any keys. I sifted through key in eFlora of China and narrowed down to two
genera Halerpestes (5-10 petals) and Oxygraphis (13-15 petals), and finally
to Halerpestes, and finally to H. sarmentosa (Adams) Kom. with
rounded-reniform cordate leaves and crenate margins. The names is based on
Ranunculus sarmentosus Adams.

KEW Plant list treats Halerpestes sarmentosa (Adams) Kom as accepted name,
whereas the Revision of Indian Ranunculus cites Ranunculus sarmentosus Adams
as synonym of R. cymbalariae, from which I think it is different in leaf
shape and form.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.
Some earlier relevant feedback:
“After reading a lot from older posts and literature I understood some 
important points about Flacourtia genus
1) It now belongs to Salicaceae and previously to Flacourtiaceae.
2) The flowers are without petals. Only sepals
3) Flowers are unisexual. Fruit is a berry.rather than a capsule as in Casearia 
(My pictures are probably showing only male flowers)
4) If one sees female flowers one has to look carefully for the stigma and 
style to differentiate between the species.
5) There is a lot of confusion between F.indica and F. latifolia.
6) Acc. Flora of BSI Mah ; 
Styles absent(stigma sessile)...F.latifolia
Styles distinct and conspicuous:
 Tomentose young twigs; leaves turning brown on drying      F.montana
 Glabrous young twigs; Leaves not turning brown     
F.indica.
7)Cooke's Flora doesn't mention F.indica.
8) From Cooke's flora. the size of flower is a good additional differentiating 
character.
   Drupe size of a cherry; scarlet when ripe 
...F. Montana
Drupe size of a plum; purple when ripe…F.cataphracta
Drupe size of a pea;
Stigmas  5-11.F.Ramontchii
Stigmas   3-4…F.latifolia
9) In all the above species the thorns do not bear flowers and fruits.Cooke 
mentions about one species 
which bears flowers and fruits on thorns as F.sepiaria   
Now I have to go to the species and check for female flowers; check for the 
young twigs to see whether they are glabrous ortomentose.hm
and also take some leaves for drying to see whether they turn brown.I think I 
had kept some twigs for 2 days which dried but did not turn brown.
Dr Phadke”
 
“This could be a male plant of Flacourtia ramontchi. 
We have discussed this earlier also, I think. Again there is difference of 
opinion about its synonymy with F. indica. 
Regards   
Vijayasankar Raman”

I think this is Flacourtia latifolia T.Cooke. Please validate.
A small tree flowering presently (23 Jan 2010) on Vetal Tekdi Pune.
Armed with sharp spines. Leaves ovate, obovate alternate with serrate margins 
red petiole.
Flowers yellow with many stamens. No styles or stigmas visible. Size 0.5 cm or 
so. in small racemes.

 Ushadi
 Although the two plants look similar superficially, and I also got confused
 earlier, they are quite distinct although the stem is flattened in both.

 First and third set of photographs belong to Phyllanthus epiphyllanthus.
 Note continuous stem with flowers along the margin.

 The second set of photographs belong to  Homacladium platycladum (syn 
 *Muehlenbeckia
 platyclados*, *Polygonum* *platycladum* F.Muell.), a member of
 Polygonaceae, note jointed stem divided into flattened sepments, a
 modification of stem known as phylloclad, also seen in Opuntia.

[efloraofindia:77291] Re: Rhododendron for ID 300411MK1

2011-08-16 Thread Ushadi micromini
This is  still an azalea...
exact binomial would depend on proper id of the hybrid, and then
cultivar... azaleas have been hybridized for a few hundred years,
first in Japan, China, and then in England and the North
Americas   names, cultivars
USED TO BE IN A GENUS OF ITS OWN, BUT IS NOW INCLUDED IN
RHODODENDRON...

leaves and flowers and seedpods when develops (which is now rare in
garden plants of the two)  are all distinctly different...  Taxonomy
texts should be able to list the difference...


Two broad groups of AZALEAS are sold...1)  a deciduous that is
leafless thru the winter  and  2) an evergreen variety that keeps its
leaves even under the snow ...

The color as shown above  is a common color of the garden variety
Azalea ... planted everywhere where greenery and a little color is
wanted such as edges of large lawns, foundations of the homes as a
cover to hide the cement walls, and in Georgia and both  Carolinas in
large dedicated gardens... Calloway garden comes to mind in
Georgiia ... famous for its walks lined by hundreds of (by now 5-8
feet tall) plants of many different colors and cultivars...

At my last count a few years ago there were more than 80 books devoted
to Azaleas only (not including the Rhododendrons, which a different
matter altogether) ...

hope this helps

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.

Some earlier relevant feedback:



“Sure *looks like the Common Hill Borage [Paracaryopsis coelestina*], but
this is not supposed to be the flowering season.
   Regards,
Neil.”



“... flowering at this time of year is indeed a surprise.
*All aspects: plant, leaf, flower seem small for Paracaryopsis
coelestina*... there were no larger basal leaves either ... unless
growing in
diminutive form for some reason.

To me, the inflorescence looks different from regular sight of Paracaryopsis
coelestina (syn of Adelocaryum coelestinum) OR Cynoglossum zeylanicum (syn.
of Cynoglossum furcatum).

Waiting for comments.
Regards.
Dinesh”

Would like to correct the dimension of flower ... it is just about 5 - 7 mm
and not 8 - 10 mm as put earlier.
Regards.

Thanks Balkarji for the beautiful set of photographs. Understood the point 
related to this plant that is Homacladium.
Actually it is used so commonly as an ornamental plant1
But Balkarji for comparison Phyllanthus also will be required is'nt it?
So thanks for honouring one request. Now second. Pl resend the Phyllanthus 
epiphyllanthus photos too.
Thank you
