 I found this curious looking flower in my database photographed from

 plants growing in my area in Vikas Puri, New Delhi and after studying these
 specimens found that Dinesh ji, my,  Tabish ji and Pardeshi ji's
 identification was not wrong. It clearly has three linear epicalyx, and as
 such can't be a species of Sida. The plant is clearly Malvastrum
 coromandelianum. Flowers with these curious looking petals, unequal at tip
 and flowers with normal petals could be seen on the same plant. Also plants
 with normal green leaves and those with yellow venation (viral infection)
 could be seen growing together. I am uploading some photographs for
 comparison and confirmation.

[efloraofindia:44181] First Established Populations of Genetically Modified Plants Found in the Wild

2010-08-12 Thread Sharad
Hi everyone,

I am not a botanist but was drawn to your group by my curiosity about
the many plants and trees I see on my trips. I thought I could learn
from your postings.

This is not a posting to identify any particular species, but a link
to a news-item that I thought you may find useful in the context of
the debate on GM Crops in India, in the last few months.

Here is a news-item from the US (a country that incidentally is said
to have in place a great deal of controls to check contamination/
uncontrolled spread of GM plants) on the spread of established
populations of GM Canola in the wild. I guess this is not the first
article and people have written about this menace, earlier.

I have copied the text here and also provided the link to the article.
I hope you will find this useful to take the right stand against the
lies and mis-information that the GM lobby uses in their quest to
bring this to India and other third-world countries.

My apologies if this post is out-of-place for this Group, but thought
all of you maybe interested.

Regards,

Sharad

First Established Populations of Genetically Modified Plants Found in
the Wild
By Rebecca Boyle

Source:  
http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-08/genetically-modified-canola-plants-grow-and-thrive-wild-study-says


Franken-canola has been found growing along roadsides in North Dakota,
in one of the first known cases of genetically modified crops taking
hold in the wild. The finding shows that genetically modified canola
plants can survive and thrive in the wild perhaps for decades,
according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the
Ecological Society of America.
Meredith G. Schafer, a graduate student from the University of
Arkansas, and colleagues traveled along 3,000 miles of interstate,
state and county roads in North Dakota and stopped every five miles to
take a sample of a canola plant. Of the 406 plants collected, 80
percent of them had at least one transgene. And in at least two
plants, the herbicide-resistant strains had cross-pollinated,
resulting in canola resistant to both Roundup and LibertyLink (known
chemically as glyphosate and glufosinate).

It's not that surprising, because most canola plants grown in North
Dakota have been genetically modified to resist herbicides, especially
Roundup, made by Monsanto, and LibertyLink, made by Bayer. Genetically
engineered seeds en route to farmers' fields might blow off a truck
and into roadside fields, where the plants take root. In some spots,
the plants were as tightly packed as they would be on farms.
What was surprising was the plants' prevalence, however -- they were
found along busy roadsides but also in the middle of nowhere,
researcher Cindy Sagers told BBC News.

Re: [efloraofindia:44195] Lonicera japonica from Ritterhude

Not Lonicera japonica in which the flowers occur in axillary pairs.
This one should be yellow form of L. periclymenum or some other species.

Dear Neil ji,
 
Some of the locals think this Jit-eggi (Dalbergia latifolia), but they are not 
sure. If possible, can you post a few pictures of D.latifolia. This too is a 
species that is on my 'to plant' list.
 
What are the features that tell apart P.marsupium and P.santalinus?
 
Thanks.

... OK, Pranay ji, if the attempt of folk identification has already taken
place, then your unidentified plants are at right place !!

About your posted plant being *Careya arborea* is just my thought; please
wait for comments.
There could be chance of it being a member of Anacardiaceae, say species of
*Buchanania* ... *B, lanzan* ... chironji or Cuddapah almond ... చార char,

Dear Gurcharan ji,
   The species name maculatum stands for spotted, and I believe it
comes from the heavily spotted petals that I see in the images on the
web:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lilium_maculatum_flower.jpg
On the other hand, the petals of your flowers look spotless. So, I
urge you to rethink the identification. Unfortunately, I am unable to

Thanks Tabish ji for your critical observation. What attracted me to this
plant was unusually large flowers with tepals 7-10 cm long. THe only species
I can think of with erect-spreading (not recurved at tip) and linear
scattered leaves was this one only. Agreed that flowers are usually spotted,
but as Bailey writes  scarcely to much spotted. Let us see if there is any
other alternative: Here is something to support my conclusion:

 On the other hand, the petals of your flowers look spotless. So, I

 The tree appears to be Koelreuteria apiculata (Rehd.  Wils) Rehd.
 Family: Sapindacea

 Also the flowers that you saw are actually the fruit.

 If you do have the photos of the flowers that you have described, that
 would be of help.

Janakiji and Singhji,

Thank you for the ID, it does tally with the illustrations available.
I have seen the tree and not the flowers or fruits as yet, but someone
who described the flowers may have confused fruits for flowers. The
leaflets are opposite above and alternate below;  the leaf appears not
to be pinnate. Thanks for clarifying a tricky ID in absence of full
information. Regards, Shrikant
