To: efloraofindia indiantreepix@googlegroups.com These two types of plants of Ixora have been bothering me for a long time. Both differ clearly from similar species I. pavetta in much longer corolla tube, 20-30 mm long. Both have nearly elliptic-lanceolate to elliptic-oblanceolate leaves, 6-20 cm long, with cuneate base and narrowed to 5-10 mm long petiole. Both have white flowers, which in one (sp-a) are lesser in number, forming a spreading inflorescence and petals are flat nearly 2.5 mm wide. In second (sp-b) flowers are more in number, dense and forming nearly globose inflorescence; with corolla lobes which are mostly reflexed along the margin (and looking similar to I. pavetta) so that they look very narrow (hardly 1-1.5 mm wide), but a few flowers would have flat corolla lobes which may be up to 2.5 mm wide or so (latter has been tentatively identified by Dinesh ji as I. finlaysoniana). http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/2093739918/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinesh_valke/2093737856/in/photostream/ Ixora polyantha is described from Malabar in India and is commonly cultivated in Pakistan and India according to eFlora of India. Ixora finlaysoniana is plant from Thialand, Phillippines, widely cultivated in China and N E India, as per eFlora of China.

Re: [efloraofindia:77902] Woody Climber-250111-PKA1
As Vijay pointed out the fruits belong to, most probably, Menispermaceae family but I am wondering about the leaves. Are you sure that you have got the right leaves? The leaves seems to be of Piper sp. Leaves of Menispermaceae liana use to be in the canopy and sometimes they drupe down. This seems to be a cauliflory. Please check Anamirta sp of Menispermaceae.

[efloraofindia:77925] Nature Trail to Matheran : Report
http://rajesh-sachdev.blogspot.com/2011/08/nature-trail-to-matheran.html It was my preconceived notion that our day would be extremely good, if our first sighting, at Matheran, is Indian Giant Squirrel. At time and again, the Shakharoo (state animal of Maharashtra), had given me its appearance in this hill station at every alternative visit. The last visit, just two weeks ago, we (Me and Sushant More) saw one with its identical rattling cries. This time, although we were not optimistic for its sighting, but it would have been more welcomed, if at all any. Ten suburbanites from Mumbai (Sarang Naik, Sushant More, Avinash Bhagat, Sonal Naik, Saurabh Gokhale, Tushar Parab, Anish Kadam, Nilesh Bhanage, Mandar Sawant and myself) attended the Matheran nature trail on August, 21st2011 , a plain downhill walk (of apprx 15 Kms), along the Matheran- Neral toy train route. Our last visit, as mentioned, after seeing the Indian Giant Squirrel, was very much fascinating in terms of observing two Ceropegia species (*ceropegia attenuata* and *ceropegia Vincaefolia*), which are termed as not only endemic to Western Ghats, but also rare enough in the region. At around 7.30 AM we all reached at Neral station, as pre-decided. After having our light breakfast, in nearby restaurant, we took shared taxis to Dastoori point (the last limit of motor vehicles), and started the trail. 10 people, with different mindset and different objectives to photography, ensured the group is not assembling or walking in bulk, but scattering oneself individually. Initially, me and Sushant scanned the nearby tree line for Indian Giant Squirrel, but later given up with perhaps no hope. Avinash, for his earlier leg injury, had to compromise on speed of walk, but we were not in hurry atleast for next 8 hours. The day started with small herb *Utricularia striatula* (local name chire-papni) and ended with Common Tree Brown butterfly. Here is the classified list of our observations of the day. Birds 1) White rumped shama 2) Brown headed barbet (heard) 3) Indian Peafowl (female) 4) Rufous woodpecker 5) Greater Coucal 6) House swift 7) Laughing dove 8) Un IDed raptor (up for Identification) 9) Golden Fronted Leafbird 10) Scarlet Minivet 11) Malabar Whistling Thrush 12) Red Vented Bulbul 13) Red Whiskered Bulbul (the numbers of this most common bird of Matheran, is dwindling) 14) Ashy Prinia 15) Thick Billed Flowerpecker Reptiles 1) Bamboo Pit Viper 2) Russel`s Viper 3) Indian garden Lizard 4) Keeled Grass Skink Butterflies 1) Malabar Spotted Flat 2) Common Spotted Flat 3) Small Banded Swift 4) Grass Demon 5) Common Bluebottle 6) Blue Mormon 7) Common Grass Yellow 8) Glassy Tiger 9) Common Tree brown 10) Common Fivering 11) Chocolate Pansy 12) Painted Lady 13) Danaid Eggfly 14) Blue Oakleaf Flora 1) Terminalia arjun (Arjun) 2) Acacia torta (Chilarwel) 3) Helicteres isora (murud-sheng) 4) Lantana camara (Ghaneri) 5) Ceropegia vincaefolia (Kandil kharchudi) 6) Tonningia axillaris (Bechka) 7) Chlorophytum tuberosum (kuli) 8) Curcuma pseudomontana (Ran halad) 9) Pinda Concanensis (Panda) 10) Begonia Crenata (Kapru) 11) Celosia argentea (Kombda) 12) Impatiens acaulis (Pan-terda) 13) Trichodesma indicum (chhota kalpa) 14) Sonerila scapigera (sonerila) 15) Rhamphicarpa longiflora (Tutari) 16) Impatiens balsamina (Terda) 17) Impatiens lawii (jambhala terda) 18) Neanotis lancifolia (Taraguchha) 19) Sesamum orientale (Rantil) 20) Utricularia striatula (Chire-papni) 21) Commelina Benghalensis (Kena) 22) Cynotis fasciculate (Nilwanti) 23) Smithia Sensitiva (Lajalu-kawla) 24) Aeginetia indica (Gulab-dani) 25) Senecio bombayensis (Sonki) 26) Acacia auriculiformis (Vilayati Babhul) 27) Solanum anguivi (Chinchurdi) 28) Aeschynomene americana 29) Commelina diffusa (Gandologi) 30) Paravaryopsis lambertiana (Hirvi nisurdi) 31) Ceropegia attenuate (Sada khantudi) 32) Eclipta prostrata (Maka) 33) Murdannia spirata 34) Sida rhombifolia (Sahadevi) 35) Chlorophytum ssp. PS .: There are few species (flowers, Amphibian and a raptor) still to be IDed, shall update the same ASAP. The weather was cloudy and it rained at fewer occasions. We were carrying our supply of light food (mainly snacks and biscuits and sweets) and water and took breaks at pre-decided time. The good rain cover (umbrella, rain coat and rucksack cover) ensured that we were in position to photograph, even when it rained. It was thoroughly an enjoyable trek for all of us and train journey was also quite comfortable. The next trip is planned for Rajmachi (Two days nature trek in the mid of September) and Flora Walk to Kas (two days trip in the end of September). And then the Great Himalayan Birdcount, in

At time and again, the Shakharoo (state animal of Maharashtra), had given me its appearance in this hill station at every alternative visit. The last visit, just two weeks ago, we (Me and Sushant More) saw one with its identical rattling cries. This time, although we were not optimistic for its sighting, but it would have been more welcomed, if at all any. Ten suburbanites from Mumbai (Sarang Naik, Sushant More, Avinash Bhagat, Sonal Naik, Saurabh Gokhale, Tushar Parab, Anish Kadam, Nilesh Bhanage, Mandar Sawant and myself) attended the Matheran nature trail on August, 21 st 2011 , a plain downhill walk (of apprx 15 Kms), along the Matheran- Neral toy train route. Our last visit, as mentioned, after seeing the Indian Giant Squirrel, was very much fascinating in terms of observing two Ceropegia species (*ceropegia attenuata* and *ceropegia Vincaefolia*), which are termed as not only endemic to Western Ghats, but also rare enough in the region. At around 7.30 AM we all reached at Neral station, as pre-decided. After having our light breakfast, in nearby restaurant, we took shared taxis to Dastoori point (the last limit of motor vehicles), and started the trail. 10 people, with different mindset and different objectives to photography, ensured the group is not assembling or walking in bulk, but scattering oneself individually. Initially, me and Sushant scanned the nearby tree line for Indian Giant Squirrel, but later given up with perhaps no hope. Avinash, for his earlier leg injury, had to compromise on speed of walk, but we were not in hurry atleast for next 8 hours. The day started with small herb *Utricularia striatula* (local name chire-papni) and ended with Common Tree Brown butterfly. Here is the classified list of our observations of the day.

Hi, Am from Goa. Was told this and have no reason to believe it is not true... In the good old days Casuarina trees were planted on beaches to indicate that it was dangerous to swim there. The reason - the women being educated could read the notices to this effect put up on those beaches but not so with the men folk. Hence the Casuarina trees and they can still be seen on Calangute, Miramar and a few other such dangerous beaches.

Re: [efloraofindia:77942] Re: efloraofindia:''For Id 22082011MR1’’ tall tree with spiky seeds at Pune
I have seen these trees on almost all beeches of India including Goa. The simple reason being this grows well on beeches as it has its own nitrogen fixing fungus in the roots. I cant imagine beeches of Goa to be dangerous (may be at some particular sites they are dangerous) otherwise you can walk kms in water as the slope is very gentle, in comparison to Beeches of Chennai where U cant even go 5m in water as the slope is very steep.

I cant imagine beeches of Goa to be dangerous (may be at some particular sites they are dangerous) otherwise you can walk kms in water as the slope is very gentle, in comparison to Beeches of Chennai where U cant even go 5m in water as the slope is very steep.

In the good old days Casuarina trees were planted on beaches to indicate that it was dangerous to swim there. The reason - the women being educated could read the notices to this effect put up on those beaches but not so with the men folk. Hence the Casuarina trees and they can still be seen on Calangute, Miramar and a few other such dangerous beaches.

For me the fruits look somewhat different from the C.equisitifolia I have seen in Chennai and other places. Need to check the foliage and other characters for confirmation.

Casurina for sure. Have a handful of it at my place. Very hard tree, cultivated these days for use as scaffolding in the construction industry. The timber is so hard and so full of knots that it is impossible to be used in furniture.

Casuarina equisitifolia.

Its planted along river banks and we have some along Dhakuria lakes in Kolkata... not allowed to photograph around the lake itself in Kolkata... it was allowed when we were Calcutta !!! Soil erosion prevention is ostensibly the reason... but ..I remember a conference many years ago in Calcutta that too many causarinas ( just like a concentration of Gando Bawal (Prosopsis julifora) in Gujarat and Aksahmoni tree, a eucalyptus in parts of West Bengal... draw up a lot of water from the water table, which when very low is far beyond the reach of native plants and trees... thus native flora suffers there was osme small movement affot to prevent further plantings... but I do not know what happened to the group that started it...
