Dear Mr. Garg,
I agree with you that if we are certain about the flowers on our website
here
<https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/v/violaceae/viola/viola-pilosa>
being *Viola pilosa*, then as certainly the flowers from Dharamshala are
not *V. pilosa*. As the images below show, they have a three-lobed stigma
and the pointed lip.

These should be the defining characters then. But that will also prove that
the illustration provided by Santosh Agarwal ji is not reliable and neither
is the description in FOP or FOC for that matter. The older literature such
as *Flora Simlensis* and *Flowers of the Himalaya* both win here.

Tabish ji has already included a 3-lobed stigma in his description on FOI,
which stand correct.

So if FOC, FOP and the illustration of styles cannot be relied upon, how
will we file flowers from Dharamshala under *V. canescens*?

Thank you.
Ashwini

Thank you Mr. Garg and Tabish ji for your comments. We can all appreciate the 
difficulties involved. 

The issue boils down to which source(s) we trust the most in our 
identifications. Especially when the sources we usually refer to do not agree 
with each other.

When I began looking at the two viola species in Dharamshala in 2015, the first 
characteristic I looked at was the stipules. I was told that the fringed ones 
meant canescens and toothed ones pilosa. Now I have learnt that these can be 
variable. FOC describes them for V. Pilosa as "stipules mostly free, brown or 
green, lanceolate, margin long or shortly fimbriate-dentate, apex long 
acuminate”. 

Flora of China does not include V. canescens in its list of viola species in 
China but makes a brief comment under V. pilosa description "In FRPS (51: 90. 
1991), the name Viola canescens Wallich was misapplied to this species.” FRPS 
is Latin for Flora of China. This is not elaborated further so we will not know 
if the author(s) does not approve of V. canescens as a valid species or is 
merely suggesting that these features were earlier confused with V. canescens. 

Next, I learnt that to know violas, one has to look at the style/stigma. So I 
did my best to look at the style closely. I found out that the style is 
club-shaped, gradually thickening upwards culminating in a perforated stigma 
placed on the side. 

This matches the description given by FOC for V. pilosa. But Flora of 
Pakistan gives the stigma for V. canescens as club-shaped but does 
not elaborate more. 

FOP does not give the shape of the stigma for V. pilosa but tells us 
that it is beaked. The perforation-like stigma, can be seen like a beak from an 
angle but I am not sure if I want to base my identification on a feature that 
is open to interpretation. 

Flora Simlensis says that V. canescens has a truncated stigma and not 
beaked, and describes stigma for V. serpens (synonym of V. pilosa) as being 
three-lobed and beaked. The stigma on our plant may look truncated to the naked 
eye but under a modest magnification, the shape becomes obvious.

Flowers of the Himalaya lists V. pilosa as having a 3-lobed stigma with 
a beak too but does not comment on the stigma of V. canescens.

So neither the stipules nor the style/stigma shapes are agreed upon in the 
literature. FOC pdf was compiled in 2007 and could be the most recent study we 
have on the genus in China/Asia. I am not sure how often the Flora of Pakistan 
is updated but the books I have consulted are all much older than 2007. But 
since the study does not include V. canescens at all, we are still left 
wondering.

Our species matches the descriptions broadly for V. pilosa in FOC and V. 
canescens in FOP. How do we move forward?

Thank you and regards,
Ashwini

Re: [efloraofindia:347698] Re: Viola sp for identification ? Yazali,Arunachal Pradesh 23.3.16

2020-04-10 Thread Ashwini Bhatia
Thank you Dipankar ji for the additional image. I agree with you that your
viola is likely to be *V. diffusa*. But violas are very deceptive and we
may learn it is an entirely different species.

If you happen to visit the area anytime in the near future, you can always
have a relook.

Warm regards,
Ashwini

Re: [efloraofindia:347628] Viola indica from Dhanaulti, Uttarakhand

2020-04-09 Thread Ashwini Bhatia
Thank you Mr. Garg. This is precisely the reason why this genus is giving
us so much trouble. I have trawled through the FOC pdf file on Viola and
think even the species at the link is a close match but not quite there:

http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2_id=250073309

Perhaps we could have it listed as indica with 'tentative' in the brackets
to alert the user. We can give reasons for it being uncertain.

The descriptions in different floras vary in precision and quality as can
be expected. Also, tackling hundreds of species in one volume does not
allow the author to give the time demanded by each individual plant.

Thanks.
Ashwini

Not matching, odour, size and the stipules which are described as:

Thank you once again. Unfortunately, I do not own any of these books. Perhaps 
someone on the group has and can help with the relevant page.

Thank you Mr. Garg. I merely suggested that our flowers looked close to V. 
indica on FOI but I am not sure whether our flowers are V. indica. For one 
thing, our flowers have no aroma which indica flowers are supposed to have. So 
I am still confused.

Plantsoftheworldonline 
<http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:868372-1> 
refers to the following document in support of the name:

Kumar, S. (2012). Herbaceous flora of Jaunsar-Bawar (Uttarkhand), India: 
enumerations Phytotaxonomy 12: 33-56.
But I cannot find this paper online. If someone has access to it, it will be 
useful to see what the author gives a description of V. indica.

I will be on a lookout for more information on the species and report back if I 
find something useful.

With regards,
Ashwini

Don’t think so, but these are no different from my other postings. At that time 
I assumed it to be V. indica. It is certainly the same we have been discussing 
under V. pilosa from here.

Re: [efloraofindia:347473] Viola indica from Dhanaulti, Uttarakhand

2020-04-07 Thread Ashwini Bhatia
Unfortunately I am unable to find much information on Viola indica as well. 
Tabish ji’s flower looks a lot like our flowers here (which we have been 
discussing under V. pilosa).

Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Garg. I have doubts about it being *G. spurium* as the stalks
on our plants are smooth (no hooked bristles on the edges).

Thank you Dr. Singh and Mr. Garg. Reading the description on FOC, G. 
hirtiflorum seems a good match. Unfortunately, GBIF has only dried specimens, 
which are difficult to match with the photos of the fresh plants.

Perhaps, it needs more photos too. I will do my best this season.

Warm regards,

Re: [efloraofindia:346531] V. pilosa (V. serpens)? ABMAR01/05

2020-03-29 Thread Ashwini Bhatia
I agree Mr. Garg that Viola is a difficult genus. Anterior one shorter or the 
upper petal smaller than the rest and acute does not clearly apply to my 
samples. I have dissected the flower and looked at the petals, sepals, stamens, 
style and stipules closely.

FOP and FOC do not agree on all the features and that shows there is a 
confusion in the literature too. But since I do not know which one to prefer, I 
am unsure of our flower’s identity.

FOP says beak directed downward, while the beak on my sample is pointing 
upwards. It says style 3.5mm long, ours is barely 2mm long.

FOC says spur of anterior stamens angular and ca. 1.5mm long, our stamens have 
more cylindrical spurs (nectary appendages or glands) which are twice as long 
at 3mm. 

Both FOC and FOP say that the colour is variable from purple, whitish-blue to 
white. The whole population in Dharamshala is uniformly violet with very little 
variation.

Also the comment at the end of the FOC description says : In FRPS (51: 90. 
1991), the name Viola canescens Wallich was misapplied to this species.

which makes me think that the flowers we consider as V. canescens here could 
very well be the V. pilosa. The ones I have filed under V. canescens have all 
the characters of the description above too with minor variations. Hence the 
persisting confusion.

We may find out in the end that the species here is indeed V. pilosa with good 
reason but I am personally happy to wait for more evidence.

Thank you.

Warm regards,
Ashwini

2020-03-27 Thread Ashwini Bhatia
Thank you Mr Garg. Even if we follow the Flora of Pakistan the confusion 
remains. 


FOP says:
Flowers small, 3.5 cm long, resupinate, whitish blue. Sepals c. 5.0 x 1.5-2 mm, 
lanceolate, acute, ciliate-denticulate. Petals oblanceolate-obovate, obtuse, 
marked with dark coloured violet lines, bearded above with short hairs, the 
upper petal smaller than the rest and acute; spur obtuse, c. 6 mm long. Anthers 
distinct. Ovary ovate, c. 2.5 mm long, 1.5 mm broad, glabrous; style 3.5 mm 
long, beaked, beak directed downward.
Fl. Per.: April-August.

My samples are not whitish blue, the upper (same as anterior since the flower 
is resupinate) petal not smaller than the rest and acute and the flowering time 
not April to August. 

Please advise.

Thanks.
Ashwini

Thank you Mr. Garg. Sorry for the delay in replying. I was utilising my indoor 
stay to look up more Viola resources. I am still not fully convinced that this 
is Viola pilosa, especially if the other plants submitted by Saroj ji and 
Anurag are also the same species. Please let me explain my doubts:

1. FOC says that the anterior petal is the shortest in V. pilosa, in my samples 
it is not the case. In Anurag 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/Uwu7e-CAMnM> and Saroj 
ji’s <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/b-0KWOphM8g> posts, 
the anterior petal is visibly narrower and shorter than the rest. In this sense 
they have a better claim to be V. pilosa than my sample.

2. The style in both posts projects well beyond the stamens and does not look 
inflated. In my samples that is not the case.

3. The lateral sepals in both posts are conspicuously bearded at the base. In 
my samples, the hair is difficult to see without magnification.

4. The flower colour in both posts is closer to white, agreeing with the V. 
pilosa.  My samples are uniformly mauve and I have found only one 
close-to-white flower amongst hundreds of plants.

I hope you understand my concern regarding this viola. I am at it for close to 
five years and still not sure of its identity.

Thank you once again.

Warm regards,
Ashwini

Dear Mr. Garg,
Thank you very much for pursuing this again. I am also looking at the viols 
closely at the moment. I have a feeling that this species is neither V. pilosa 
nor V. canescens but some other species, closer to V. indica perhaps.

I will file more photos of the two species flowering here in a day or two. If 
we can find some more details on the nectar glands (or nectary appendages) for 
V. pilosa and V. canescens, that could be of great help.

Warm regards,
Ashwini

Re: [efloraofindia:344269] Impatiens sp. ABJAN01/11

2020-03-01 Thread Ashwini Bhatia
Dear Mr. Garg,
I am with Ashutosh after reading the paper that the plants in Dharamshala 
almost certainly belong to Impatiens tricornis. I will observe the flowers 
closely in June/July again and report if there are any doubts.

Thank you Ashutosh for the correction.

Regards,
Ashwini

Re: [efloraofindia:344268] Which Symplocos/ABDEC50

2020-03-01 Thread Ashwini Bhatia
Dear Mr. Garg,
The Symplocos species listed in the relevant books are S. paniculata, S. 
chinensis and S. ramocissima. The email is from my early days of botanising and 
the tree here may not be Symplocos at all. You are correct in doubting my 
assumption.

Thank you.

Thank you Ushadi. The flowers had a distinct aroma but I did not crush a

There are a couple of excellent papers on fruit morphology of Apiaceae by
Chinese scientists that might interest you:

Given the scant photo evidence, this is the best we can do. If I did not
know the area well, I wouldn't even have offered a guess about its identity.

We can say it's 'most likely' *A. obtusiloba*, considering its habitat.

Thanks.

With warm regards,
Ashwini

Thank you Nidhan Singh ji. Carpesium looks very likely but our plant looks 
different from C. abrotanoides. I will look more closely soon.

Thank you Mr. Garg. Most of the photos at the link show multiple flowers

This one is again likely L. debilis, as the red glands are visible on corolla

The corolla shows red glands and is likely to be of L. debilis. The size of the 
corolla and calyx lobes are other indicators which we can’t verify from these 
photos. The undersurface of leaves is surprisingly clear and doesn’t help.

Thanks.

[efloraofindia:324908] Re: Lysimachia debilis ABJUL2019/01

2019-07-12 Thread Ashwini Bhatia
Dear Saroj ji,
I will be happy to help if I can. I am familiar with only five species found 
here: L. debilis, L. pyramidalis, L. chenopodioides, L. lobelioides, and L. 
prolifera and can look at your plants concerning these species. Could you 
please forward them again to me at this address?

Attaching the link to study all Lysimachia species here 
<http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/china/PDF/PDF15/lysimachia.pdf> again for 
reference.


Regards,
Ashwini
