Monsoon 2011 - Making a magical flora discovery in rainy Coorg ( Part 3)
(Perhaps a Wild Nutmeg, Knema attenuata, Myristicaceae family)

/* Rainy season is the best time to visit Coorg, blanketing the place as
it does in shades of green, be it lush forests,
mountaintops and every other spot. Bhagmandala, the place where the
three rivers, the Kaveri Kannike and Sujyothi merge is no exception and one
fine day at the height of the monsoon season, we walked the woody paths in
Bhagmandala. The drizzle had set in by afternoon, continuing into the
evening when suddenly
it took on the shape of a downpour. We retreated to the shelter of the
nearby trees and what do we find here but that hidden in the dark and dense
vegetation were these spectacular young red flowers. We had hit a jackpot!

Best wishes for trip Balkar ji and other members of the trip. Wish I was in
Delhi to join you. In the mean time I am able to click many plants which I
missed in earlier trips. However, I am still late for most flowering trees
especially Salix, Populus, Prunus, Pyrus, Malus as also Narcissus, Tulip,
and some other bulbous plants which have already finished flowering.

This plant is very common in West Bengal and, as you have mentioned, a

 Thanks Tabish ji for alerting me for my upload of G. pusillum which
 finally turned out be Geranium molle


 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Geranium$20pusillum/indiantreepix/b3P7qw6_5Cg/_QBb4S0x7wcJ


 Geranium pusillum is much more common species in Kashmir, but having
 clicked similar species in June in 2010 (which grows in Kashmir, but never
 seen by me before), confused me.
 Having visited Kashmir in May this year I was able to click G. pusillum
 this year. I am uploading the same. The two closely related species can be
 separated as under:

 *Geranium molle:* petals deeply notched, 3-8 mm long, longer than sepals;
 leaf lobes closer together; carpels wrinkled; filaments glabrous in upper
 part
 *Geranium pusillum: *petals shallowly notched, 2.5-3.5 mm long, scarcely
 exceeding sepals; leaf lobes diverging from base; carpels smooth; filaments
 hairy in upper part

 Another closely similar species G. rotundifolium has petals rounded at
 tip, not notched.

 *Geranium pusillum* L., Syst. Nat., ed. 10. 2: 1144. 1759.

 Common name: small-flower crane's-bill

 Spreading annual herb; leaves opposite, suborbicular to reniform, 15-25 mm
 across, 5-7 lobed, lobes widely diverging, 3-fid at tip; stipules
 lanceolate, 2 mm long; flowers pale purple, 4 mm across, on 2-flowered up
 to 3.5 cm long peduncle; sepals 2-3 mm long, shortly mucronate; petals
 2.5-3.5 mm long; fertile stamens single whorl, filaments hairy, outer
 without anthers; mericarps not wrinkled, appressed pubescent, beak 7-9 mm
 long.

Fortunately not, Ushadi
plants like Fritillaria imperialis, Eremurus himalaicus, Tulipa stellata,
which do so well in their hilly habitats tend to lose their vigour in
city's polluted environment, and may not multiply that much. Many also turn
vegetative and rarely flower. I have only one in flower out of more than
plants, and that two has single scape emerging from the tuft of leaves.

This is Wrightia pubescens.

Please refer to Vijaysankar ji's observations above (corona longer than

well seen in these images.

Re: [efloraofindia:116600] Royal White from Hooghly

Usha Di,

Dhaniakhali is about 25 km NW to my place and i don't know the person who
grows these flowers. My colleague Arnab Bandyopadhyay gave me the news and
i made a visit there after my school.

There was a signboard showing contact number of the person, i didn't record
it, but if you need it please drop me a line and i will obtain the same
within a week.

Regards,

surajit
