[efloraofindia:455663] Re: Names of Plants in India :: Alangium salviifolium (L.f.) Wangerin

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Not many people know this. But there was a concept of "Hu Card Index', 
developed by late Prof. Shiu Ying Hu, a China-born, Professor as Chinese 
University of Hong Kong. She collected names since the first publication  
in 1753 for all Chinese Plants, where ever she could find and prepared a 
collection of over 1.5 lakh cards. And, she had staffs to help. Her index 
is still maintained at the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University.
This effort by Dinesh sir, single-handedly, is nothing less than that. We 
should call it, "*Valke Card Index of Indian Plants*'.  It is really a good 
work, literally going unnoticed.
Best regards
Pankaj

Would be keen to check the dissection. I see in one of your images that 
petals and sepals are bend backwards. Is it true?

I think your plant is Polygonatum verticillatum. Petals are very distinct. 
Cirrhifolium has much longer tendrils on a narrower leaf.

Keep up the good work. You are the next generation of Indian Plant 
Taxonomist, hopefully beyond India too. Please remember that Plant 
taxonomists and field botanist do not need to be trained to be one. It has 
to come from inside. 
We do plants because we love plants.
Best regards

Are you saying you found this plant in wild in Kerala? Because I am not

The image used in Orchids of Kerala is surely a cultivated plant.

This is Goodyera marginata.
G. marginata will have proper white band along the mid rib of leaves for an

This is Goodyera marginata.
G. marginata will have proper white band along the mid rib of leaves for an 
easy id. But there are other features too.

[efloraofindia:393465] Re: 104 ID wild plant orchid

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

This does look close to Luisia zeylanica which has leaves that start 
tapering almost 1-2 inches before the apex. In this plant at least I can't 
see that character. Luisia zeylanica also has much narrower petals than 
this. I can faintly see the there are 5 veins on the petals, which is also 
a character of L. zeylanica. I would be more than happy to see a fresh 
flower.
Till then we can consider Saroj sir's id correct.
Thanks and regards

Not easy to make out from these pics. Could well be some Platanthera. I see 
a spur in one of the images.

This is indeed Platanthera edgeworthii and not latilabris.

[efloraofindia:392191] Re: Identification required for this beautiful plant of kupwara, J.

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

This is very interesting. To me it looks like an orchid, but cant imagine 
anything to have white leaves like that. Very close to Epipactis but cant 
confirm from these pics.
Would be best to have a closeup of flowers.
Thanks and regards

If you look properly in your image, I think I see at least 4 plants. For 
sure 2.
So there should be more plants around.

[efloraofindia:378798] Re: ORCHIDACEAE Juss. Fortnight: Vanilla orchid for id from Calicut University Botanical Garden BS 30

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Ok I am extremely sorry. There is some issue here. It was originally 
identified as Vanilla aphylla too, but later in 1890s it was pointed out 
that this was Vanilla wightiana which was a spelling mistake for Vanilla 
wightii.
So for the time being this has to stay as Vanilla wightii, however, I think 
this is a very normal Vanilla aphylla. Both do not have leaves.

Re: [efloraofindia:367585] pleiten spec

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

I am again a bit confused here. I should call this Dendrobium longicornu 
but the flower on my right hand side shows a constriction, I imagine if it 
is just a damage or true constriction because I cant see the same on other 
flowers.

I am unable to see if the front lobe of labellum has distinct constriction 
on either side. But somehow after looking again, I feel this is Dendrobium 
longicornu.
Need more pics to confirm.

[efloraofindia:346527] Re: Luisia species for ID_1_20_03_2020

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Respected Sir
I want to help, but that can happen only if you can provide multiple pics 
from multiple angles with a closeup of flower.
I need to see a pic of labellum spread out to see the side lobes. This is 
for all Luisia.
You cant id a Luisia with this pic.

[efloraofindia:346526] Re: Luisia species for ID_3_20_03_2020

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

This is the main problem with  saying/guessing a name. The sender thinks of 
it as the id.
I had already responded to this pic, but I dont know why I dont see my 
comments here. I returned back to recheck but the poster is happy with the 
name primulina!!
Anyways, this is 100% not primulina. I have seen primulina, please look at 
the scale of the flower (can actually be done knowing the width of leaves. 
Primulina is much large flowered.
There is another species, Luisia macrotis.
It is advisable to post multiple pics from multiple angles for better ID. I 
cant even see the leaves.
Thanks and regards
Pankaj

Re: [efloraofindia:345089] Goodyera procera from Hong Kong

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Dear Sir
Thanks for your message.
I will suggest that if you are not doing any research then please do not 
collect any plants just for the sake of collection. This is although a 
common plant, but for example I have never seen it in Jharkhand during my 
studies. It had been reported from there in past.
Thanks and regards

[efloraofindia:339043] Re: Bulbophyllum cylindraceum Wall. ex Lindl.

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Sorry, I gave him wrong name by mistake earlier. B. cylindraceum will have 
large bract before flowers and B. khasyanum will not have. Hence this is 
khasyanum.
It was my mistake earlier. But, now I assume I am correct. I checked the 
type.
Thanks a lot for sharing.

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

ok this is a bit confusing, but I think this is Crepidium biaurita and not 
purpureum.
Its a bit mature flower so colour changed. It happens. If you look at the 
centre of some flowers, you can see the mounts.
Sorry for wrong identification.

[efloraofindia:321115] Re: World Flora Online (WFO), a successor of The Plant List

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

I just notcied one strange thing from WFO.
THERE IS NO PARTICIPATING MEMBER FROM INDIA. AMAZZING. AND NO 
INDIAN BOTANIC GARDENS OR BSI.
I am so fed up of this European culture. They all will bring their own 
friends into the loop and create something repetitive.
OK, just for the sake of checking I thought of looking into this and 
randomly first genus to check came into my mind was Gastrochilus. So I 
searched for it and it is missing. So I searched for Geodorum. I appears. 
Now WFO says 12 species ; KEW CHECKLIST says 7 species; PLANT LIST says 12 
species.
I pick up the top name that is, Geodorum appendiculatum. I find much more 
information still on the Plant List and Kew Checklist than on WFO. WFO 
doesnt even give full author citations. ITS A SHAME. 
No one in the world will cite a species name like this, "Geodorum 
appendiculatum Griff. Calcutta J. Nat. Hist."
On the bibliography it gives a link which doesnt work.
I understand, I am too fussy, and may be by 2020 they will bring it to 
higher standards. But right now, in the current state, I dont recommend 
anyone to use WFO.
I see one plus point that there is an option for people to join and so I 
highly recommends experts like Gurcharan sir and Ritesh to join this. I am 
sure I am skipping names of many other experts. It would give us an upper 
hand to correct the taxonomy of things if and when needed.
Thanks and regards
Pankaj

If you find interesting then get A C Dutta, Botany for Degree Students, 
around 400 Rs.
If not happy with them, then go take tution from our respected Gurcharan

[efloraofindia:305777] Re: Prosthechea radiata (Lindl.) W.E.Higgins

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Respected Usha mam
Thats a very interesting point of pollen swabbing and there is a reason for 
that.
You know if you cut plants, steal them and bring them to your place, it is 
certainly illegal and risky in the sense that people can see you carrying 
plants outside their natural habitat.
So, some people who already own plants at their garden or nursery, they 
take pollen swabs to pollinate their privately owned plant with flowers or 
they just pollinate two plants in the wild to collect fruits later on. I 
know some people do such things in here too. In one way it is good if 
fruits are produced on the wild plants. But its not good if all fruits are 
collect later on. Secondly, this is not a natural process afterall
Imagine carrying a cutout from plant or carrying a cotton ear bud pollen 
swab. No one will ever understand that ear bud has the ear dirt on it or 
pollen :)
Also, in some countries (many countries but not india), it is allowed to 
carry seeds. Even CITES permit is not needed for seeds.
Thanks and regards
Pankaj

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

It is Cymbidium lowianum but not sure if it is the normal plant or just 
variant or hybrid.
If I have to pick one option then I would say if this plant is collected 
from wild then definitely a variant of Cymbidium lowianum. 
Thanks and regards
Pankaj

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Frankly, I have no idea about hybrids. But when I searched Cymbidium Moon 
'Green Pastures' on google, something like this appeared:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cymbidium-Moon-Green-Pastures-orchid-plant-/332493063526
And it doesnt match to your plant. At the same time, I have no idea if the 
name on my link is correct.
Orchids have more than 100,000 registered hybrids, I can only reach till 
genus sometimes not even that, as now a days even tri-generic hybrids are 
available.
Thanks and regards
Pankaj

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Respected Sirs and Mam
Thanks a lot for your kind words.
It was indeed great learning from Nidhan sir and Balkar sir and Dr. Amit 
Kotia, who themselves are great botanists. Hope to have such meeting more 
often in future although, I understand that the limitation is more from my 
side as I reside outside India.
Thanks a lot for those wonderful memories and smiles and of course 
knowledge. I learn every day.
Thanks and regards

Somehow this seems to be same as the one I had seen in Sikkim around Tsomgo 
Lake:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/Primula$2C$20Pankaj|sort:date/indiantreepix/IzDRn7U76d0/31mXjiSbDAAJ
 If you agree to the link then according to Dr. Chadwell this should be Primula 
gracilipes. It grows once the snow starts melting. Stays covered for some 
time under the snow.
Please check.

This looks like Coelogyne nitida but I am not sure. I need better pics of 
whole plant. For Coelogyne it is important to see where the inflorescence 
is coming out from? from the top of the bulb or from the base and if the 
inflorescence is coming out from mature bulbs or juvenile bulbs.
Thanks and regards

[efloraofindia:286872] Re: WHY DOES DRY 'SARKANDA' WILD GROWTH OF SHIVALIK FOOTHILLS, PUNJAB, HARBOUR AN INCENDIARY QUALITY?

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

It is a very simple way of understanding. Anything to catch fire easily 
needs to be heated up to a particular temperature so that it will ignite.
Grasses have thin cylindrical stems and hence easy to heat up when dry, in 
comparison to wood which takes time.
