2011-11-06 Thread Tabish 
This grass is most likely Miscanthus nudipes, which is generally found
in Eastern Himalayas, at altitudes of 1000-3600 m. Leaf sheaths are
hairy in this species.
There is a related more common species, Miscanthus nepalensis which is
found both in E. and W. Himalayas, at altitudes of 1900-2800 m, but
has yellowish flowers. Leaf sheaths are hairless in this species.
The genus id is from Mr. Krishan Lal. Our plant shows distinctly hairy
leaf sheaths.

Dear Pankajji,
Actually I have uploaded these pics to compare with Riteshji.s
species. I too think this could (Riteshji’s) be D.  anceps. There is
less chance to Dendrobium acinaciforme, due to its floral appearances.
It is reared, so some morphological changes might occured (???)

Regards,
Raju

 Hope you have seen the other thread where Ritesh has shared pic of
 same species. Please check and let me know if you feel the same.

 Dear all,

 Attaching the images of *Jansenella griffithiana* (C. Mull.) Bor
 This plant is is distributed in India, Myanmar and Srilanka which
 remained as a monotypic genus untill recently.
 Recently a new species- *Jansenella neglecta* S. R. Yadav, Chivalkar
 et Gosavi-  have been described from Maharashtra. The name '*neglecta*'
 indicates the cryptic nature of the species being neglected among the
 populations of *J. griffithiana. A*n account of both species is
 available in 20th volume of  *Rheedea *(Vol. 20(1):38-43, 2010).
 Photograph of the plant is taken from Amboli, Kolahapur District of

 Image of the spikelet is taken from a collection of this species from
 Wayanad, Kerala.

the subject of *“Papilionaceae week”* in the first month of our second year
of such activity for the coming week(During  Monthly Week from November 7
to 13, 2011.) This happens to be the largest  family discussed so far
considering the total number of species.


I will try to coordinate this week along with help from all of you the
members of Efloraindia.


Since it is the largest family discussed so far we might have to extend the
dates further for one more week as per discretion of moderators. Hoping for
a huge participation from the members in the coming week.

There are two species of Calotropis observed commonly.
Apart from the one shown here another with bigger flowers is called as
*Calotropis
gigantea*.
I am sure you will come up with its pictures of both when you find it.
Rather I will request you or any new member to post them if you find it.
It is rather common in open areas. We have discussed this number of times
earlier. You can find the details on our group website.

2011-11-06 Thread Satish Phadke 
Since Papilionaceae(Faboideae) is a subfamily of Fabaceae we will be
dealing with only this subfamily during the family week.
I request all members not to post species of Mimosoideae and
Caesalpinioideae under the above heading.

On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 3:00 PM, Satish Phadke drsmpha...@gmail.com wrote:

 Family : *Papilionaceae *overview (In short)

 It is a subfamily of *Fabaceae *or *Leguminosae*.


 The Fabaceae are placed in the order Fabales according to most taxonomic
 systems, including the APG III system. The total number of species in this
 is quoted differently at different sources but around 18000 species
 including all subfamilies.


 The Fabaceae comprise three subfamilies (with distribution)


 • Mimosoideae:  80 genera and 3,200 species. Mostly tropical
 and warm temperate Asia and America.

 • Caesalpinioideae:  170 genera and 2,000 species,
 cosmopolitan.

 • Faboideae: 470 genera and 14,000 species, cosmopolitan.
 (GRIN 462 genera;500 genera 12000 species)

 In the coming week between 7 to 13 November  we will be
 sharing/discussing about species from this subfamily only which is called
 as Papilionaceae, Papilionoideae or Faboideae .

 *Distinguishing characters (always present)*



 Subfamily Papilionoideae (Faboideae)

 • Leaves usually pari- or imparipinnate, palmate or
 trifoliolate , sometimes simple or unifoliolate, sometimes with a tendril.

 • Flowers usually bilaterally symmetrical pea flowers.

 • Sepals united into a tube at base.

 • Petals imbricate in bud, the median petal (also known as
 the standard, banner or vexillum) overlaps the other 4.

 • Stamens (9-)10(-many), sometimes dimorphic, usually
 diadelphous (9 fused,1 free or 5+5), sometimes monadelphous (all 10 fused),
 filaments rarely free, exserted or included.

 • Seeds usually hard and with a complex hilar valve (as in
 beans and peas), pleurogram absent.



 *Flower parts in Faboideae*. *A*, side view of flower; *B*, separated
 petals (front view); *C*, diadelphous stamens with upper stamen free,
 anthers uniform; *D*, monadelphous stamens with all filaments fused into
 a tube, anthers alternately long and short.

  A short introduction of Family Fabaceae from *Wikipedia*

 The *Fabaceae* (or *Leguminosae*) are a large and economically important
 family http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_%28biology%29 of flowering
 plants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowering_plant, which is commonly
 known as the *legume family*, *pea family*, *bean family* or *pulse family
 *. The name 'Fabaceae' comes from the defunct genus *Faba*, now included
 into *Vicia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicia*. Leguminosae is an
 older name still considered 
 valid,[4]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabaceae#cite_note-3and refers to the 
 typical
 fruit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit of these plants, which are
 called legumes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legume.

 The Fabaceae are the third largest family of flowering 
 plantshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowering_plant,
 behind Orchidaceae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchidaceae and
 Asteraceae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteraceae, with 730 genera and
 over 19,400 species, according to the Royal Botanical 
 Gardenshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Botanical_Gardens.
 The largest genera are *Astragalushttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astragalus
 * with more than 2,000 species, *Acaciahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia
 * with more than 900 species, and 
 *Indigoferahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigofera

 *Crotalariahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crotalaria

Dear members
As announced earlier we will focus Fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae)  in
our Monthly Week from November 7 to 13, 2011. I Dr. Satish Phadke will be
coordinating this episode. Members are requested to upload members of this
group, both identified as well as those meant for Id. Kindly make sure that
all your uploads pertaining to this group should have subject line
starting*Fabaceae-Faboideae
(Papilionaceae) Week:.*. The second
part of your subject line should be unique, name of plant and place plus
some thing if same species has been uploaded by another member from the
same place, for plants meant for ID second part should be same your unique
combination of ddmm+initials+post number, about plant
(herb/shrub/tree/climber, etc.) and place.

Expect god participation for this well represented group. For any queries
you may contact  Respected Gurcharan ji, Balkar ji, me  or any earlier
coordinator.
These are introductory mails.
*Please post your plants from Monday 7th November i.e. tomorrow onwards.*

 Family : *Papilionaceae *overview (In short)

 It is a subfamily of *Fabaceae *or *Leguminosae*.


 The Fabaceae are placed in the order Fabales according to most taxonomic
 systems, including the APG III system. The total number of species in this
 is quoted differently at different sources but around 18000 species
 including all subfamilies.


 The Fabaceae comprise three subfamilies (with distribution)


 • Mimosoideae:  80 genera and 3,200 species. Mostly tropical
 and warm temperate Asia and America.

 • Caesalpinioideae:  170 genera and 2,000 species,
 cosmopolitan.

 • Faboideae: 470 genera and 14,000 species, cosmopolitan.
 (GRIN 462 genera;500 genera 12000 species)

 In the coming week between 7 to 13 November  we will be
 sharing/discussing about species from this subfamily only which is called
 as Papilionaceae, Papilionoideae or Faboideae .

 *Distinguishing characters (always present)*



 Subfamily Papilionoideae (Faboideae)

 • Leaves usually pari- or imparipinnate, palmate or
 trifoliolate , sometimes simple or unifoliolate, sometimes with a tendril.

 • Flowers usually bilaterally symmetrical pea flowers.

 • Sepals united into a tube at base.

 • Petals imbricate in bud, the median petal (also known as
 the standard, banner or vexillum) overlaps the other 4.

 • Stamens (9-)10(-many), sometimes dimorphic, usually
 diadelphous (9 fused,1 free or 5+5), sometimes monadelphous (all 10 fused),
 filaments rarely free, exserted or included.

 • Seeds usually hard and with a complex hilar valve (as in
 beans and peas), pleurogram absent.



 *Flower parts in Faboideae*. *A*, side view of flower; *B*, separated
 petals (front view); *C*, diadelphous stamens with upper stamen free,
 anthers uniform; *D*, monadelphous stamens with all filaments fused into
 a tube, anthers alternately long and short.

There are a large number of plants in this family. To sort out them I am
trying to give some tips in advance to organise the pictures from
Papilionaceae.
The plants can be classified according to taxonomic characters from
different floras.
I have separated my pictures in a simple method like
1)Trees
2)Shrubs,undershrubs,herbs
3)Climbers

 There are two species of Calotropis observed commonly.
 Apart from the one shown here another with bigger flowers is called as 
 *Calotropis
 gigantea*.
 I am sure you will come up with its pictures of both when you find it.
 Rather I will request you or any new member to post them if you find it.
 It is rather common in open areas. We have discussed this number of times
 earlier. You can find the details on our group website.

Thank you Ritesh for being persistent in bringing it up again. There
seems to be some confusion in the names Sterculia hamiltonii  and
Sterculia coccinea - GRIN considers them synonyms of each other, but
theplantlist considers the status of these names as unresolved.
Nevertheless pictures of Sterculia coccinea flowers on the web agree
with the flowers seen here:

 So, one has to give a more careful look.

 Family : *Papilionaceae *overview (In short)

 It is a subfamily of *Fabaceae *or *Leguminosae*.


 The Fabaceae are placed in the order Fabales according to most taxonomic
 systems, including the APG III system. The total number of species in this
 is quoted differently at different sources but around 18000 species
 including all subfamilies.


 The Fabaceae comprise three subfamilies (with distribution)


 • Mimosoideae:  80 genera and 3,200 species. Mostly tropical
 and warm temperate Asia and America.

 • Caesalpinioideae:  170 genera and 2,000 species,
 cosmopolitan.

 • Faboideae: 470 genera and 14,000 species, cosmopolitan.
 (GRIN 462 genera;500 genera 12000 species)

 In the coming week between 7 to 13 November  we will be
 sharing/discussing about species from this subfamily only which is called
 as Papilionaceae, Papilionoideae or Faboideae .

 *Distinguishing characters (always present)*



 Subfamily Papilionoideae (Faboideae)

 • Leaves usually pari- or imparipinnate, palmate or
 trifoliolate , sometimes simple or unifoliolate, sometimes with a tendril.

 • Flowers usually bilaterally symmetrical pea flowers.

 • Sepals united into a tube at base.

 • Petals imbricate in bud, the median petal (also known as
 the standard, banner or vexillum) overlaps the other 4.

 • Stamens (9-)10(-many), sometimes dimorphic, usually
 diadelphous (9 fused,1 free or 5+5), sometimes monadelphous (all 10 fused),
 filaments rarely free, exserted or included.

 • Seeds usually hard and with a complex hilar valve (as in
 beans and peas), pleurogram absent.



 *Flower parts in Faboideae*. *A*, side view of flower; *B*, separated
 petals (front view); *C*, diadelphous stamens with upper stamen free,
 anthers uniform; *D*, monadelphous stamens with all filaments fused into
 a tube, anthers alternately long and short.

  A short introduction of Family Fabaceae from *Wikipedia*

 The *Fabaceae* (or *Leguminosae*) are a large and economically important
 family http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_%28biology%29 of flowering
 plants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowering_plant, which is commonly
 known as the *legume family*, *pea family*, *bean family* or *pulse
 family*. The name 'Fabaceae' comes from the defunct genus *Faba*, now
 included into *Vicia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicia*. Leguminosae
 is an older name still considered 
 valid,[4]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabaceae#cite_note-3and refers to 
 the typical
 fruit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit of these plants, which are
 called legumes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legume.

 The Fabaceae are the third largest family of flowering 
 plantshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowering_plant,
 behind Orchidaceae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchidaceae and
 Asteraceae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteraceae, with 730 genera
 and over 19,400 species, according to the Royal Botanical 
 Gardenshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Botanical_Gardens.
 The largest genera are *Astragalushttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astragalus
 * with more than 2,000 species, *Acaciahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia
 * with more than 900 species, and 
 *Indigoferahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigofera
 * with around 700 species. Other large genera include 
 *Crotalariahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crotalaria
 * with 600 species and *Mimosa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimosa*with 
 500 species.

 The species of this family are found throughout the world, growing in
 many different environments and climates. A number are important
 agricultural plants, including: *Glycine 
 maxhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycine_max
 * (soybean), *Phaseolus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaseolus*(beans),
 *Pisum sativum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisum_sativum* (pea), *Cicer

Re: [efloraofindia:92289] ferns

2011-11-06 Thread J.M. Garg 
A reply:
 The photo is a very fine - prize-winning - specimen of a Nephrolepis.  It
may well be N. exaltata, a tropical American species, widely cultivated and
with many ornate and fancy cultivars as well.  However I seem to have
mislaid my copy of the monograph, so can't look up the details until I find
it.  Maybe you can find the well known journal in a library: Hovenkamp,
P.H.  Miyamoto,  A conspectus of the native and naturalised species of
Nephrolepis (Nephrolepidaceae) in the world, Blumea 50: 279-322.
  The stipe and rachis scales are very important in this genus - and
are not shown in the photographs.  It is not N. cordifolia, of course.  I
will check N. exaltata and also N. falciformis when I can remember where on
earth I put that monograph!
  About fern-spores, they are very widely grown on a large scale in
many countries.  The big commercial Dutch company, Royal Lemkes [?Lemkas],
propagates huge numbers of plantlets from spores in sterile conditions.
There is a nice paper in the Fern Gazette, c. 1975 by Professor John Lovis
(then at Leeds) on how they grew plants from spores and then hybridised
them leading to genome analysis showing the origin of allopolyploid
species. In fact there are well known spore-exchanges running
internationally, including from the British Pteridological Society and the
American one.
 The late Professor Reichstein grew large numbers of Asplenium species
from spores in Switzerland for cytological and morphological study, and his
greenhouses had rows of small pots with large watch-glasses over them, of
growing spores and sporelings.  I myself also grew large numbers of
Dryopteris for hybridisation during my Ph.D. research and they are usually
easy to grow from spores.
  While some people use agar plates or tubes, these are subject to
fungal infections rather easily, and for most species there is actually no
real need to do that.  Most people simply sterilise the soil by pouring on
boiling water in little small pots, when cool, sprinkle the spores, then
cover the pots with a watch-glass and don't allow them to dry off - stand
in a saucer of water from time to time.  Those that get badly infected with
algae and moss protonema can be thrown away, or the prothalli separated
when large enough.  Mature prothalli need some water drops or more to sit
on the surface when they are ready to fertilise.  Sporelings can be
pricked out (separated) into slightly larger pots, with four or five
individuals, then separated again individually later.  Prof. Reichstein
used to find that spores grew a lot better in spring-time than in Winter -
how do they know when to grow?!
My late father and I grew a nice batch of tree-ferns from spores in
Wales when I was about 8 or 9, and several grew to full maturity in our
greenhouse over about 20 years. I've also seen very fine agar-tube
cultivation of the beautiful Cyathea crinita down at the Tropical Botanic
Garden Research Institute near Trivandrum.  But we also grew it on soil at
home in the UK.
 Warning!  Once you start and get into it, one can't stop!!!  And with
spore-exchanges one can grow all sorts of interesting things.
 Happy sporulating!
Chris Fraser-Jenkins, Kathmandu.

 “Nice photo Bhagyashiri ji. Is it possible to grow new ferms from the
 spores?  I tried once but failed.  Please let me know.

 when large enough.  Mature prothalli need some water drops or more to sit
 on the surface when they are ready to fertilise.  Sporelings can be
 pricked out (separated) into slightly larger pots, with four or five
 individuals, then separated again individually later.  Prof. Reichstein
 used to find that spores grew a lot better in spring-time than in Winter -
 how do they know when to grow?!
 My late father and I grew a nice batch of tree-ferns from spores in
 Wales when I was about 8 or 9, and several grew to full maturity in our
 greenhouse over about 20 years. I've also seen very fine agar-tube
 cultivation of the beautiful Cyathea crinita down at the Tropical Botanic
 Garden Research Institute near Trivandrum.  But we also grew it on soil at
 home in the UK.
  Warning!  Once you start and get into it, one can't stop!!!  And with
 spore-exchanges one can grow all sorts of interesting things.
  Happy sporulating!
 Chris Fraser-Jenkins, Kathmandu.
