Aconogonon campanulatum (Hook. f.) H. Hara (=Persicaria campanulata (Hook.

This is Persicaria chinensis (L.) H. Gross which is characterized by
terminal or axillary capitate inflorescence.

When botanists identify this fruit as  black berry, locals question - the fruit

Hi all,



 Took out this Ficus seedling growing from under my Sintex tank; I could not
 get the hole roots out, but managed some of them and I planted it in a
 polybag and it after 2 weeks began sprouting new leaves. It is locally
 (Telugu) known as Juvvi. The fruits are eaten but many species of birds. The
 bark of adult trees is pale greenish-yellow and smooth.



 Sorry again I do not have picture of adult trees, but next time I'll take
 some pictures of some adult trees, leaves, fruits etc.

Dear All: I honor Dr. Gurucharan ji'  s opinion...
but since he is sending it out again means... he is not convinced himself,
is that it, Guruchran ji?

I do not wish to contradict you or other erstwhile botanists, BUT  in
Medicine If we did diagnosis  a picture of a lump  ... we would be
nowhere... same must be true for other branches of science including
botany... and the botany specialist/s  should not be put into a situation
such as this... it behooves anybody asking for ID ... to show the mother
plant... especially since its in your own garden! Whatever its
worth , that's my opinion

  I am not convinced of the diagnosis ... many cactus derived fruits may
look similar... I think I had voiced my doubts earlier...   why is it
surfacing again?

A rare interesting species from Kashmir characterized by its simple serrate

leaves look similar to willow leaves and also like that of Saussurea
albescens, with which I passed it on first visit. Perennial herb up to 2 m
tall with many stems from base; leaves sessile, elliptic-lanceolate, up to
15 cm long, 1-3 cm broad, serrate with gland-tipped teeth; heads numerous,
pendulous, 3-4 mm across, marginal florets female, disc bisexual.

There is an important paper on this species

http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-5790279/Conservation-of-Artemisia-amygdalina-a.html

According to this paper this species has not been collected in last 40
years, and when I went through this paper I learnt that this 40 year earlier
collection was done by me. Fortunately I don't remember about this
collection because it would have been difficult for me not to disclose the
site of collection, very essential for the preservation of critically
endangered species. Sufficient to say it is somewhere in Lolab valley.

The present photographs were taken from Botanical Garden of Kashmir

Species of the genus Schefflera in Araliaceae family has palmately-compound

Here the leaves are simple.

I had seen that, but used this name as it has been an accepted name in our

Artemisia amygdalina Decne., Voy. Ind. Bot. 4: 92. t. 100. 1843
A rare interesting species from Kashmir characterized by its simple serrate
leaves, green on upper surface and hoary tomentose on lower surface. The
leaves look similar to willow leaves and also like that of Saussurea
albescens, with which I passed it on first visit. Perennial herb up to 2 m
tall with many stems from base; leaves sessile, elliptic-lanceolate, up to
15 cm long, 1-3 cm broad, serrate with gland-tipped teeth; heads numerous,
pendulous, 3-4 mm across, marginal florets female, disc bisexual.

There is an important paper on this species
http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-5790279/Conservation-of-Artemisia-amygdalina-a.html
According to this paper this species has not been collected in last 40
years, and when I went through this paper I learnt that this 40 year earlier
collection was done by me. Fortunately I don't remember about this

  Artemisia amygdalina Decne., Voy. Ind. Bot. 4: 92. t. 100. 1843
  A rare interesting species from Kashmir characterized by its simple serrate
  leaves, green on upper surface and hoary tomentose on lower surface. The
  leaves look similar to willow leaves and also like that of Saussurea
  albescens, with which I passed it on first visit. Perennial herb up to 2 m
  tall with many stems from base; leaves sessile, elliptic-lanceolate, up to
  15 cm long, 1-3 cm broad, serrate with gland-tipped teeth; heads numerous,
  pendulous, 3-4 mm across, marginal florets female, disc bisexual.

  There is an important paper on this species
 http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-5790279/Conservation-of-Artem...
  According to this paper this species has not been collected in last 40
  years, and when I went through this paper I learnt that this 40 year earlier
  collection was done by me. Fortunately I don't remember about this
  collection because it would have been difficult for me not to disclose the
  site of collection, very essential for the preservation of critically
  endangered species. Sufficient to say it is somewhere in Lolab valley.

Re: [efloraofindia:78763] Re: Flora of Panipat: Urena lobata from Assandh Road Panipat Haryana

It is growing in weed like manner in Pune city and around ; even in western
ghats. The species or varieties differ though.
The leaves are much lobed in plants which I observe here in Pune.

Dear all,
Already a good beginning has been made as can be seen at 
https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/
At present I am still updating it with threads upto 17th May  still behind by 
more than three months.
I don't see this position improve in near future.

However, efforts of everybody is required to carry it forward. One may choose 
to improve it in a way one wants.
I think first step can be adding descriptions from Flora of British India (Copy 
 paste job), for which copyright has expired long back.
There are so many other possibilities.
 
Any member of eFI can edit it by a simple procedure like editing a Word 
document as per guidelines below:
