It is used in the treatment of influenza, fever, urinary tract infections, enteritis, diarrhea, traumatic injuries, sprains and poisonous snake bites. An infusion can be used as a wash to rid children of hookworms. The plant is a good source of vitamin C and is used as an antiscorbutic in the treatment of scurvy. The leaves are used as an antidote to poisoning by the seeds of Datura spp., arsenic and mercury. The leaf juice is applied to insect bites, burns and skin eruptions. It has an antibacterial activity. Yellow, orange and red to brown dyes are obtained from the flowers. The boiled whole plant yields a yellow dye. An infusion of leaves is used to remove opacities of the cornea and is dropped into the eyes for itching lids. A decoction of leaves is used as a gargle.

In fact two types of plants are known for this species: one with green leaves and stem is Sri Tulsi and one with purple leaves and stems as Krishna Tulsi. The essential oil has antibacterial and mosquito repellent properties, leaves used in catarrah, expectorant, in bronchitis , malarial fevers, cutaneous diseases and ringworms. Ram tulsi (also known as ban tulsi) is Ocimum gratissimum, the shrubby tulsi, having much more stronger scent and often planted as mosquito repellent. used as relief of ear-ache, tooth-ache, also used in cough mixtures.

Re: [efloraofindia:79369] Climber smells garlic
Yes that should be consensus Pseudocalymma alliaceum (Lam.) Sandwith, * Adenocalymma* *alliaceum* (Lam.) Miers, but now correctly known as *Mansoa* *alliacea* (Lam.) A.H.Gentry However, we have still to exclude Mansoa hymenaea (another garlic smell climber). The two are very similar and some one has to hunt out a key separating these two species to put stamp on identification.

Re: [efloraofindia:79373] Request for Species Id DKV 070611-1 Cactus fruit....
Actually I always admire Sirji and Gargji for their dedication. I think that they must have kept seperate folder for unidentified sps from where they must be taking out mails for unidentified plants. Something like Pandoras box you know. Very paitiently they resurface the mails, with full dedication, hope that a new member joined may be able to identify it. Or some non botanist if has taken interest in taxanomy may take up the task. Or some botanist may take the lead again to search in their knowledge box and find out the name!!! I really appreciate the efforts, hope, love, dedication and! As for me I am not a botanist and will never be able to a taxanomist. So its of no use to open the mail and read the content. So what I do? When I open the inbox and see the mails on sirji and Garji's name with 'fwd' as prefix I DELETE the mail by just marking them all togather in one stroke. It doesn't take time. But I know at that time someone else is breaking the head to identify the plant. For the photo which requires some details are taken by some enthusiast for the love of beauty and then feel that the name should be known. Hence sent to the group. If the hard core Botanist can explain that person what is needed he/she may take other photo and will sent. If can't may say so. Then the photo can be eliminated for ever. But I know many members of group who are non botanist have become the leading personalities of the group by improving upon suggesstions given. Since I am a teacher myself I feel that improvements can be brought in students if we wish too. My request to members will be give suggestions for improvement if you have patience or else don't react. But don't show your frustetion. Similarly see the 'fwd' short form of forwaded as prefix to mails from sirji and Gargji and open only if youwant to see the resurfaced mail. Else delete it with a click of mouse.

Madhuri ji You have said it all. There are two ways of using delete buttons. mark all mails that you want to delete and press delete button. Otherwise click delete all, unmark few that you want to retain, and press delete button. Either way it takes few seconds. Only Aarti ji, Alok ji, Prashant ji, Muthu ji, Ritesh ji, and others whose mails are resurfaced regularly know the importance of resurfacing. You would be surprised to know that most of good ideas come from persons who are supposed to be non-experts. I remember a plant resurfaced several times with no conclusion, till Aarti ji came up with identification which we could have never imagined. Similarly I have seen the growth of Alok ji in recent months. He is a real asset to the group sending us photographs from Western Himalayas. I love this group for heterogeneity. I am more happy when an identification comes from Yazdy ji, Aarti ji, Alok ji, Dinesh ji (although he is more expert than many of us), Tabish ji, Garg ji,etc. I love that, many of us love that, and let us allow it to remain like this.

It is actually a very small valley and there are three ways to get into it.. through JK, via Rohtang pass (Manali) or via Chamba (a dangerous path) there are no real roads in the valley but it is being 'developed' .. which means you cannot go anywhere in this valley without eating mouthfuls of dust all along due to massive cutting of hillsides and construction of roads .. soon to be followed with hotels.. :( It could have been akin to the valley of flowers.. if only they'd let it be... huge slopes of mountains.. buried alive under the debris... made me want to cry... regards Alok On Sep 2, 7:47 am, Ushadi micromini microminipho...@gmail.com wrote: Alok ji: where exactly is Pangi Valley???

There are two ways of using delete buttons. mark all mails that you want to delete and press delete button. Otherwise click delete all, unmark few that you want to retain, and press delete button. Either way it takes few seconds. Only Aarti ji, Alok ji, Prashant ji, Muthu ji, Ritesh ji, and others whose mails are resurfaced regularly know the importance of resurfacing. You would be surprised to know that most of good ideas come from persons who are supposed to be non-experts. I remember a plant resurfaced several times with no conclusion, till Aarti ji came up with identification which we could have never imagined. Similarly I have seen the growth of Alok ji in recent months. He is a real asset to the group sending us photographs from Western Himalayas. I love this group for heterogeneity. I am more happy when an identification comes from Yazdy ji, Aarti ji, Alok ji, Dinesh ji (although he is more expert than many of us), Tabish ji, Garg ji,etc. I love that, many of us love that, and let us allow it to remain like this.

[efloraofindia:79412] Fwd: FAMILY OF THE WEEK : MALVACEAE
Earlier Family of the week: Malvaceae By Satish Phadke Ji by -- Forwarded message -- From: satish phadke phadke.sat...@gmail.com Date: Sep 10 2008, 7:31 pm Subject: FAMILY OF THE WEEK : MALVACEAE To: efloraofindia FAMILY OF THE WEEK : MALVACEAE In India the family is representaed by 22 genera and 110 species occurring mostly in warmer parts.Benthem and Hooker divided the family into four subfamilies, Malveae,Ureneae,Hibisceae and Bombacaceae. Bommbacaceae is not covered here as it has been explained elsewhere. Vegetative characters : The members are mostly annual or perennial herbs, but in the tropics they are shrubs or rarely soft wooded trees. The stem is fibrous with inner bark often tenacious. The herbaceous portions are often more or less covered with stellate hairs. The leaves are alternate, simple,entire. Inflorescence and flowers : The inflorescences are either axillary, solitary, or fascicled and often form long terminal racemes. The flowers are hermaphrodite or rarely unisexual or polygamous, actinomorphic, pentamerous and hypogynous. The calyx is frequently subtended by an involucre of bracteoles which form the epicalyx. It protects the younf flower bud. The calyx is usually of five, free or connate sepals which show valvate aestivation. The corolla has five petals which are often large and showy, free or basally connate with the staminal coloumn as in Hibiscus. The petals show twisted or imbricate aestivation. The androecium has numerous stamens which are monadelphous. The filaments are united to form a staminal coloumn around the ovary. The staminal cploumn is divided at the apex and bears reniform monothecous anthers.The pollen grains are covered by spines. The gynoecium is of two to many fused carpels which are arranged in a whorl around the central axis. The ovary is superior. Fruits and seeds : The fruit is loculicidal capsule as in Hibiscus and gossipium or more often it is a dry indehiscent, In sida, Malva and Abutilon schizocarps separate from one another and from the persistent central axis and each one seeded or occasionally two to many seeded as in some species of Abutilon. The seeds are reniform or obovoid with scanty endosperm . They are often pubescent or densely clothed with wooly hairs as in Gossipium. The flowers are mostly insect pollinated.The seeds of gossipium are dispersed by wind. In some species such as Urena lobata the seeds have hooked spines which are dispersed by adhesion to animals and human. Examples: Gossipium (Cotton):(Marathi: Kapus)extensively cultivated in the tropics for fibre. The cultivated forms arise mainly from G.barbadense and G.hirsutum(America) and G.arboreum and G.hirbaceum in India, Egypt and other countries. Several species are grown as ornamentals: Hibiscus rosasinensis Hibiscus schizopetalous Hibiscus sabdariffa Hibiscus mutabilis Hibiscus esculentus(Lady's finger,Okra,Bhendi) used as vegetable.

Appreciate what Madhuriji, and Gurucharanji are saying... about the group and its working and goodness all around... we can make a different thread for that it would be memorable and become part of our hall of fame BUT. this particular thread should have remained as a glowing example of what not to do if one is asking for a diagnosis but ... we got side tracked... where is the original sender... Dev kumar in all this...??/ I for one am not happy to agree to a diagnosis based on a painting at the wiki site or a flicker photo whose authorship is not showing up... whose copyright is it? what continent of the god's green earth did that particular photo originate from? what season, what is the size of the plant or the fruit? how do we know the mother plant is really the same as what's in the flicker photo or the wiki illustration all that is conjecture and NOT SCIENTIFIC TAXONOMY IS SERIOUS SCIENCE AFTER ALL. If Dev kumar ji can not submit a foto of the original mother plant that produced this fruit... may be this thread can stop right here and be as is that's my 2 cents worth Usha di == Madhuri ji you said this, I quote But I know at that time someone else is breaking the head to identify the plant. its absolutely truly, I am compulsive and look at all, and do break my head over trying to id the plant... so it behooves the sender to respect my (and all other members' and especially the experts' ) time and be as explicit and elaborate as possible when sending in an item ...

Re: [efloraofindia:79423] Request for Species Id DKV 070611-1 Cactus fruit....
Dear dear Ushadi For sure the thread should stop here. But what I will like to tell is I was just talking about resurfing the mails. The very respected member objected on resurfing again and again. It was not any specific mail but resurfing in general. I agree that taxonomy should not be based on any painted picture. And I know that how much efforts you and every other hard core taxonomist of this group take. So every member should try to improve quality of photos, details of the plant part, diff angles, habit/habitat, location etc. No objection for that. But whatever has been sent on mail if not identified gets resurfed by some respected members with the wish that let it get identified. For this objection should not be raised. That's all. Di pl take of your head. Don't break it as I broke my anckle. Was home locked for 72 days to be precised. Now joined the duties.

Re: [efloraofindia:79443] Kalatope Calanthe id al180611a
And yeah, I have no issues if Gurcharan sir leads in answering :)). It makes me happy to know that group is not fully dependent on me. Thats the way it should be and for sure I make lot of mistakes. But I have one good habit of rechecking my own ids. Its because somehow, if I see any orchid live or pic, it always remains in my head. So whenever I come across any reference book with similar characters, I always recheck, though I may not comment on the thread until I find my own id wrong. I am sure, if I had given this pic to some orchid people outside the group without actually telling the elevation, many of them would have thought of Eulophia !!! Few days back I realised I made mistakes and asked Smita to resend the picture she had sent months back and I was confirm that I was wrong though while identifying earlier I was sure of the ID. Orchids have always been tricky. I always say, I can go wrong, anyone can go wrong!!! and rechecking always help.
