[efloraindia:99705] Re: query about saprophytic plants...
Yes saprophytes are now called mycoheterotrophs and not saprophytes any more. No plants are saprophytes anymore. ts not that they are commonly called as mycoheteroptrophs. Saprophytes by definition means those plants which grow on dead and decaying organisms. But experiments revealed that actually the plants are parasitic on fungi that might be living ind ead and decaying organisms. They can either be holo-mycoheterotrophs or partial mycoheteroptrops. Holo is completely dependent on the fungus and partial mycoheteroptrops are not completely dependent. Do they have association with particular fungus. Yes they have association with species from particular group of fungus. Fungi is classified into Fungus can be of two groups, Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) or Ectomycorrhizas (Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, and Zygomycota). If you are talking about the plants which makes association with fungus. Then the fungus can be highly specific for a particular species of plant. For orchids, they are highly specific. For fungal classification, may be one of our members, Tanay can explain better.

Tanay is right, but i slightly differ from him at one point. There are plants which are partially myco-heterotrophic. Example Corallorhiza trifida. This plant lacks leaves, but they have green pigments on fruits and stems and these green pigments help them in managing some food but its not enough for the plant. So they help of fungal mycelium to make contact with other angiospermic plant (Betula utilis). Regards Pankaj On Sun, Dec 18, 2011 at 10:41 PM, Tanay Bose tanaybos...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Ankush Ji.

Hi Pankaj Ji. You are absolutely correct in saying that there are huge group of green plants that depend on Fungi for nutrition uptake. Now a days even researches debate thats every plants in the world at some point of their life cycle depend on Fungi for nutrition. I only focused on non-green one as Ankush Ji was more emphasizing on it. I think you provided an excellent summery about plant Fungi interaction, which I think is enough.

Nice caption and information too. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful *Caralluma *species. On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 10:07 AM, Prabhu kumar KM prabhumkris...@gmail.comwrote: Dear all, This is *Carlluma diffusa *(Wight) N. E. Brown, collected from Tamil Nadu. *Caralluma* R.Br., *Caralluma* named from the Arabian 'qarh alluhum', a flesh wound or abscess; for the floral odour of some species (Keith Bensusan, 2009). *C. indica* flower with rotten fungus like odour is the best example for this. The genus *Caralluma* is mainly paleotropical in its distribution and is the most widely distributed group among the stapeliads, from the Canary Islands in Macaronesia to the Indian subcontinent (Bruyns et al. 2010). The subtribe Stapeliinae G. Don. belongs to the tribe Ceropegieae Decne ex Orb. of the subfamily Asclepiadoideae R. Br. ex Burnett (Endress Bruyns 2000, Meve Liede 2004). This subfamily has traditionally been treated as a family Asclepiadaceae, but molecular evidence has demonstrated that the group, monophyletic though it is, is ested within the Apocynaceae Juss. (A.P.G. 2009.) Stem fleshy; branches ascending, 4-angled, nearly of equal thickness throughout the branches; internodes glabrous. Leaves absent, leaf scars present, with appendage-like growth at nodes on angled portion. Flowers in terminal umbellate cymes, many-flowered; bracts triangular, acute at apex, glabrous; pedicels terete, glabrous. Calyx 5-lobed, divided up to base; lobes lanceolate, acute at apex, glabrous. Corolla campanulate, lobes 5, ovate, acute at apex, ciliate at margin only, otherwise glabrous. Corona biseriate; the outer annular, arising from base of stamens, closely intact; lobes with two horn like appendages widely separated from each other; the inner variable, linear, arising from inner side of outer corona, overlapping anther-lobes. Stamens 5, pollinia 5, pollen masses solitary in each anther cell, yellow, waxy with pellucid layer attached by light brown caudicles. Follicles up 10-15 cm in long.

AMAR: I had read in Turner's book about common poisonous plants and mushrooms of north america that even the water from the flower vase in which the flowers were displayed was toxic Professor Turner says even one leaf is fatal for humans... she cautions that people should not burn its twigs or use it to roast meat etc as skewers...because smoke from it is also poisonous and if there are many neriums in one spot and honey bees make honey from it, that too is poisonous... and animals when they ingest at little as 0.005% of their body weight of the foliage... they can die... And she used to say our indian yellow karen..thevetia ...is the most common cause of severe toxicity on Hawaiian islands where its grown profusely for their pretty yellow flowers.. children often eat their interesting looking seeds.. But right here in my own neighborhood there are ten or of the yellow thevetias, and have never heard of a case of poisoning, may be out children in Kolkata do not eat these fruits... I personally never quite believed her, because she was a worry-wort and thought every thing under the sun was poisonous, but I have myself seen cases of Hepatic thrombosis AND necrosis leading to death from drinking green tea made from Comfrey leaves... I did learn to heed her advice... Also...she was only writing about what is reported in medical literature... SO IT BEHOOVES US TO PAY HEED... Earlier we used to make fun of her because once she came to a herb class and said in the passing that one should avoid cauliflowers as veggies... they were toxic... we knew that if you eat ten cauliflowers a day for a year...goiter would result... but toxic as veggie only in season, and that too may one 1/8th or so per person...
