Re: [efloraofindia:115567] Pelatantheria insectifera
Congratulations for academic contribution. In Jharkhand one of its names popular among the Healers is Motan Jadi (Dinesh ji it is for you) and popularly it is added in Dhawai (Woodfordia) based formulations. It is also used in Gulbakawali and Maidani Bakuchi based Formulations for herb toxicity. Few weeks back I received its fresh and dry samples from Haridwar from Some Swami ji of National TV for comments. It is not in commercial trade from UP but the herb traders of Saharanpur and other areas claim that they supply it to the Tantriks for Vasikaran Rituals. It is also available with the Faith Healers of Jim Corbett Park region. If interested I can forward the local names of this species in study area. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 10:17 AM, Dr Pankaj Kumar sahanipan...@gmail.comwrote: Please find one of our recent publications attached with the mail.

[efloraofindia:115570] Re: Is it Ipomoea alba
Hello, The plant is Rivea hypocrateriformis in my opinion because my reference photos of Ipomoea violaceae show the stamens rarely if ever protrude beyond the tube but most of my reference photos of Rivea hypocraterifomis show the stamens ( not very far but ) *very visibly*exerted beyond the tube. I hope that helps, Regards, Ron I

Welcome to Citrus week. I have been asked to coordinate this discussion but felt a little out of my depth. Dr. Gurcharan Singh having agreed to supervise the proceedings I feel a little more relax. However mostly I will lead the exchanges related to nomenclature. Here I feel in my element. As an introduction to the topic of Citrus let me say that I truely believe that our discussion group has the potential to sort most of the nomenclatural confusion in regards to Citrus names in India. It will certainly take more than a week though. I have received messages telling me that people do not feel they can contribute because they are not experts. Everyone knows at least one language, that means one has the capacity to check facts using references. Experts are people who know more and more about less and less. The two complement each other, so let's all work hard together. Here are selected references related to Citrus that will provide much basic advanced information. Background material available online.

[efloraofindia:115615] Re: Citrus - Rutaceae Week: May 7 to 13, 2012
Citrus week - Introduction Part 2 I would like to point out the problems, as I see them, with Indian names. In India people often rely on Sanscrit names. Many internet sites revolve around Ayurvedic concepts and Sanskrit is as much or more popular than botanical Latin in those circles. Sanskrit names tend to be matched with older botanical names that either do not get a mention nowodays, or are older synonyms. Sometimes the synonymy can lead to the modern preferred name but in some cases it is almost impossible to match. Often the same name is applied to different plants. This is not just typical of Indian names, it does happen everywhere in the world. So one has to turn to other languages from India. The problem here is that there are many scripts and even more languages. In Europe one deals with 3 or 4 scripts mainly and in most languages the vernacular is matched with modern botanical names. Outside India when one meets an Indian name it is in 90% of cases a romanised version of a name, especially on the internet. The process of romanisation / transcription / transliteration is never totally accurate. If one tries to transcribe back into the original language many questions arise. On the botanical side all subspecific names tend to be grouped under the specific name (the numbers of species are an indication of bio-diversity) but this does not favour diversity in cultivated plants. Some of the matching common names are generic by definition so they may apply to several subspecific taxa. This means that they are not wrong but they are not precise enough. Therefore one must try to find names that reflect the botanical rank of the plant identified. It can be a subspecies, a variety, a cultivar or belong to a cultivar group. The trade has often had a bad influence on vernacular. It is common to associate a species with a cultivar name, kamala is an example. Then that name gets applied to various subspecific plants thereby becoming a generic name. One can imagine, if this name is say Hindi, that it will inevitably be transcribed into Bengali, Gujarati, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu etc. Each of those may be badly transcribed, will be (badly) romanised in various ways and one ends up with hundreds of almost meaningless names. There are hundreds of expressions such as small-leaved, large-flowered, hairy-leaved, large-seeded ... and so on. I am not familiar enough with Indian languages but if such expressions are not commonly found in India surely there must be other ways of adding specificity to names. Localising any name as much as possible helps. Southern..., Northern ..., Sinhalese ..., Tamil Nadu..., Silhet... and so on. Regarding botanical names: in the previously mentioned Wiki pages a good example is given illustrating the various standardised versions of a cultivar name applied to a Japanese flowering cherry. The comments in colour are my own. *Prunus serrata* Sato-zakura Group - this is not specific enough because it would apply to all cultivars in the group. *Prunus serrata* (Sato-zakura Group) ‘Ojochin’ - this would be my preferred choice, except that the authority name would not be excessive, thus: *Prunus serrata* Lindl. (Sato-zakura Group) ‘Ojochin’ perfect.*Prunus * ‘Ojochin’ - this is trade standard, too brief, not enough information Flowering cherry ‘Ojochin’ - this is vernacular, also applied in trade, catalogues for example. Coming back to Citrus, I would suggest first that whenever a name is mentioned, its origin should be mentioned (Tamil / Bengali etc.), or its corresponding name in script (as opposed to the ever misleading romanised version) should be given, and if possible the matching botanical name. I can provide much of what would be missing but we may wish to limit ourselves to short lists. At this point it is not helpful to check my MMPND pages on Sorting Citrus names except for the previously mentioned sections, but I will let everyone know when a more reliable string of names is being posted on that site. Examples paralleling the Prunus above: মোসাম্বি (Mōsāmbi) - *Citrus* × *sinensis *(L.) Osbeck 'Mosambi' - * Citrus* × *sinensis *(L.) Osbeck (*Sweet-Orange* Group) 'Mosambi' मौसम्बी Mausambī (Mausambee, Musambi) - *Citrus* × *sinensis *(L.) Osbeck (*Sweet-Orange* Group) 'Mosambi' मौसम्बी Mausambī (Mausambee, Musambi) - *Citrus* × *sinensis *(L.) Osbeck 'Mosambi' - *Citrus* × *sinensis *(L.) Osbeck (*Sweet-Orange*Group) 'Mosambi' Vernacular: any of those 3 would be worth mentioning: Mausambī, Mausambee, Musambi. The most accurate word is मौसम्बी (if I havent made a mistake). Botanical: any of these would provide a good start: *Citrus* *sinensis *' Mosambi' ,or *Citrus* × *sinensis *(L.) Osbeck (*Sweet-Orange* Group), or * Citrus* × *sinensis *(L.) Osbeck 'Mosambi', even *Citrus* *sinensis .* Rightly or wrongly Mosambi is also applied to the Navel Group - *Citrus* × *sinensis *(L.) Osbeck

-- Citrus week - Part 3 - Setting the challenges Main cultivated and wild citrus species in India Each name is to be elaborated on, transcripted and validated by native speakers. Synonyms in all languages of India will be matched so please start feeding the beast. Informed arguments are welcomed Bolded names are the currently accepted names (based on Tanaka Mabberley) It is evident that the new taxonomy introduces extra difficulties when matching names. This is a very good reason for not discarding the old names but to keep them as synonyms whether legitimate or not as long as they carry the authority name(s). Citrus reticulata var. crenatifolia for example can be meaningless if met for the first time out of the blue. In blue I have given the regions where each type of citrus is grown and the languages (in parenthesis) which should have names for those citrus, but this is not exclusive.

Indeed a very good write up, I knew a few days earlier and had hinted about it in my mail. Ushadi, of course it is a Rutaceae Week, and all members of the family will be uploaded by the members. Citrus, however, being the largest genus would be the main focus, especially so because Mr. Porcher has great expertise on taxonomy and regional names of Citrus fruits, we all have to admit the taxonomy of this group is most confused and no two books tend to agree on accepted names.

Many thanks Dr Porcher for the thorough introduction. Looking forward for an exciting and rewarding week. Regards.

Ushadi, of course it is a Rutaceae Week, and all members of the family will be uploaded by the members. Citrus, however, being the largest genus would be the main focus, especially so because Mr. Porcher has great expertise on taxonomy and regional names of Citrus fruits, we all have to admit the taxonomy of this group is most confused and no two books tend to agree on accepted names.

Re: [efloraofindia:115628] IDENTIFICATION OF WILD FLOWER
Surprised to read the statement In fact, there is no Argemone oil as such in market. Argemone seeds are adulterated with Mustard seeds due to similarity. Argemone oil is not mixed with Mustard oil, its seeds only (with Mustard seeds) I think this quote from Useful Plants of India (CSIR, I don't find any reason to doubt this publication) should clarify: Seeds yield a nauseous, bitter, non-edible oil, used in cutaneous troubles; it is cathartic. Presence of Argemone oil in edible mustard oil is probably responsible for outbreaks of epidemic dropsy; mixed with drying oi, such a linseed oil, it may be used in paint industry; also used for soap-making. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

The 323 Air Defence Regiment was undertaking a field firing exercise of radar-enabled L70 guns in the famous Pokharan deserts of Rajasthan. When the fire and brimstone eased, soldiers found a terrorised Chinkara fawn. Then C.O. of the Regiment, Col. Prem Kumar, posted a Havildar at the spot to stand guard over the fawn, hoping the mother would return. However, the mother was probably dead and after a full day's wait, the Regiment adopted the fawn and christened him `Ninny'. A string of beads was put around its dainty neck. Ninny took readily to the Regiment and the hardened soldiers' hearts melted when Ninny frequented their tents for a tasty morsel. The fawn's HQs was Col. Kumar's house. Whenever annoyed at his whims not being pandered to, Ninny would slink into the Puja room and sulk for hours! As Ninny grew, the Regiment built a mini zoo with a flock of domesticated geese to keep Ninny company. Such was the camarderie that one one memorable occasion when Col. Kumar was herding the geese, he got a rude butt in his backside. It was Ninny rushing to the defence of his goosey girlfriends! *April phool* ** * A flower of vivid yellow blooms wild in the scrubland forests of the Lower Shiwaliks behind the Sukhna lake. Don't be fooled by its brilliance, though. The Argemone Mexicana (Prickly poppy), which is a plant native to Mexico and the West Indies, has been used by traders to adulterate mustard and rape seed oils. This is because the seeds of Argemone and mustard look very similar. According to botanists of the group, efloraofindia, even if 1g of Argemone seeds are mixed with 100g of oil, it leads to capillary leakage of protein-rich fluids into soft tissues of the human body. The ailment is called Dropsy and it has no specific therapy. There were Dropsy epidemics in India in 1934 (more than 2,000 cases) and in 1998, when 52 died and 2,500 more were hospitalised. This prompted the Government to temporarily ban mustard oil. New cases appeared in the summer of 2003. Efloraofindia botanists say tradesmen try to pass the buck by claiming adulteration was accidental. However, more often than not, adulteration is intentional since Argemone oil is much cheaper than mustard oil. *Snakes evict Minister* ** *Snakes seem to have launched a drive to evict Punjab Cabinet Minister Gulzar Singh Ranike from his sprawling bunglow (956 in Sector 39, Chandigarh).
