 This is Donkey ear Kalanchoe
 ...  binomial is  Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri as Gurucharanji just
 said...

 the violet things on the edges of the leaves are not flowers they
 are sort of bluish green ...dark... little baby plants...you take one
 of the leaves and put it flat on the soil and pin it down with a
 hairpin at two ends so that the underside of the leaf edge remains in
 contact with soil , seep it moist, you will have  10- 20 new plants...
 THE REAL FLOWERS of this Kalanchoe develop  on a long spike.. in
 summer... red flowers  develop.. go to Dave's garden site and look...
 they  will have a lot of pictures...

 also leaves and stems can be eaten. Am I right?
 How long does it take till it flowers?

  Heliconia species for sure.  Possibly this could be Heliconia
wagneriana.  There are so many introduced varieties in Heliconia
(ornamental) with different shades of colours of the inflorescence and
the foliage,  one should be cautious while narrowing down to species.

 of the substance.He told me that it is known as CHAMPA . In 1983 Mr Kharto (
 Tibetan instructor ) wanted to know about the tree known as CHAMPA to the
 BHUDDHISTS .I could not enlighten him as to me CHAMA was Michelia
 champaca.It was in Udhampur(1998),I opened a dry pod of Oroxylum indicum and
 saw the papery seeds inside I understood what CHAMPA means to a BUDDHIST.My
 friend Sonam told me that Bhuddhist use the pods and the seeds in worship of
 Buddha.This tree is very common at this place.It is known as Ullu in Hindi
 and Sona in Bangla.
This is what S venkatesh tells about the tree,
 
   The tree is conspicuous in the forest when it bears
 its scabbard-like fruits which breaks open to release its flat,papery and

Ixora or Pavetta species.  Characters of the flowers ( floral arrangement)
and the foliage are needed  for ID.  Also find out whether it is fragrant.

  has plenty of fibres. My friends enjoy it, so do my birds and my cows.
  They are found underneath the tree as soon as it starts ripening. It
  grows very fast from seeds and soon there will be plenty of plants.

[efloraofindia:78583] Re: Nymphaeae Renegeraro

On second thought I also realised that this plant actually doesnt
match with the images of Nymphaea 'Rene Gerard', available on the net.
I am not sure if what I am looking at at authentic websites on google.
Infact the flower color matches better with Nymphaea 'Peach Glow'.

Punica granatum of Lythraceae family just to correct the spelling.
By the way this is one of the many examples of accepted error in the
name, or a very complicated nomenclature. The genus of species and
generic name doesnt match but it is accepted.

   Oroxylum indicum is known as TOTOLA in Nepalese language. It is highly
  religious for Buddhists. Making most religious KHADA, page marking of
  Buddhists literature, religious decoration etc all are done by its white

2011-08-28 Thread ushadi Micromini

Yes,  SIgns!!!this happens when non -english learned sign painters paint
the signs... I see this sometimes in our local events ...

This is Nymphea Rene Gerard .. a hardy water lily, introduced in 1914 by a
lily hybridizer named   Latour - Marliac  who used to supply unfertile seed
bearing plants to high end garden owners of Europe,   including his supplies
stocked the water lilly ponds in Monet's garden... which we all love the
paintings of

Who did Latour-marliac  name this hybrid for is not known at this time, its
definitely not the linguist of the same name who was not born until the year
1927 or 28... and this cultivar had already been offered in Latour -
marliac's 1914 catalogue  This man was a very secretive hybridizer

good work all of you...

Oroxylum indicum is known as TOTOLA in Nepalese language. It is

I know him personally very well if Prakash was for me :). But never
heard of him undertaking any tissue culture studies. May be he is
collaborating with someone. Among Indian Botanists he is famous as a
Taxonomist and has great knowledge about plants of India, especially
of the North East.

 Dear Col. Sarkar,
 GOOD MORNING!!
 Oroxylum indicum is known as TOTOLA in Nepalese language. It is
 highly
religious for Buddhists. Making most religious KHADA, page marking
 of
Buddhists literature, religious decoration etc all are done by its
white
papery seeds. Its flowers are quite tasty when fried. Flowers are
 also
liked
by rhinos. However, the plant is also having some medicinal

I will try for the species name later. But  it would help a lot if you can

For the unidentified one at FOI

Re: [efloraofindia:78630] Re: Chamba heights al200811a... impatiens

Tabish ji
I had identified it as Impatiens micranthemum which as given in FBI (page
481) the capsules are linear and apiculate, spur is slender and straight, as
clearly seen in your photograph. It is another matter that now this is
placed under I. laxiflora, which is now a more broader complex.

Re: [efloraofindia:78632] upper Chamba identifications al280811

I think I will go with C. cornuta, the spur seems pretty long in one or more
flowers where it is visible. The tips of leaf segments are more or less
pointed in this species, not so in C. govaniana in which also the stem
leaves are not more than two.

[efloraofindia:78634] Re: Nymphaeae Renegeraro

Pankaj, you may be right... I did some search about history of
Nymphaea hybridization starting in 1800s ...
not found the peach color for Nymphaea Rene Gerard

And there is a peach glow variety photographed at Brooklyn Botanical
garden ... see URl:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Peach_Glow_water-lily_at_Brooklyn_Botanic_Garden.jpg/220px-Peach_Glow_water-lily_at_Brooklyn_Botanic_Garden.jpg

BUT currently Thailand is a hot spot for hybridization of water
lilies it seems ...
and these are brought in regularly ...
its possible... a new hybrid with peach color...
can happen...

or in a less charitable mood..one could say that ... this was
mislabeled by the gardeners...
