Thanks Giby, but theplantlist says it is an unresolved name...as far as I
know only one sp of Ruellia, i.e. R. tuberosa is naturalized in India. All
other wild species come under Dipteracanthus. But, I am not sure of the
current name for this taxon, you may be right in saying Ruellia.

Thank you Vijay for pointing out my mistake.
Only *Ruellia tuberosa* is naturalized in India.

Here I think the leaves are smaller than that of *Dipteracanthus prostratus.
*It is not very clear whether the plant is prostrate or erect from the

Any chance of *Ruellia *patula (Syn: Dipteracanthus patulus)?

Thanks Usha di, No nothing special about Manilkara...it is just that we have
a sapling of Manilkara with us right now and we were just wondering by how
many years it is likely to bear fruit or at least grow tall, give shade.

We have noticed a few Manilkara trees near our locality that been told to
have not gone beyond 4 feet in 10 years so we were wondering if it is really
that kind of a slow grower.

Thank you Dr.Giby. As rightly pointed out by you, Dr.Almeida in his 'Flora of 
Maharashtra' Vol. 3A, has changed the name to Crytolepis dubia [but he also 
spells the old name as C.buchanani - which is anyway much of a muchness now].

 Yes you were given a perfect wrong answer.
 For Bonsai they never put chemicals to make it short.
 Its just the maintenance of roots and twigs to keep it within the
 limitation of nutrition in the pot.
 I remember once during my MSc exam I was asked, isnt making bonsai is
 like torturing plants? and my answer was no, its a means of ex-situ
 conservation of some important large as well as small plants. Japnese
 excelled it to decorate their gardens, but they excelled in
 maintaining some plants which we cant even work in ground.. To me its
 same as cutting a child's hair to make him look more civilized :). But
 trust me, if the world looses all its natural trees from its natural
 environment, then Bonsai is the only option when we can maintain them
 and see them.

डाव्या हाताची घालत आहे.

Dear Shantanu ji
Beautiful flowers indeed. It is difficult to guess the flower size.
It may be from Polygonaceae or Rosaceae.
Please provide the information as per posting guidelines in the same thread
so that the comments might pour. Else very little response is generated.
I hope you will understand the limitations.

Satish ji ... recollecting that you had pointed this sometime back in the
past too ...
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/DNrRp_ZAVFg/discussion

Let me clarify once again that the family name is not going to be put in
this Names of Plants in India project ... because this database is being
manually built - *it is not programmatic* ... any change that occurs due to
change in family will be a frustrating exercise to repair the data.
Therefore no mention of family ... am sure it does not really make the data
incomplete.

The crux of the project is names of the plants the common names of the
plants do not change ... the botanical names' status of the plants are
liable to change -- those changes too prove difficult for repairing !!

Yes ... did learn while compiling the names that Sunderbans (largest delta
in the world) derives its name from the abundantly growing *sundari*tree.

Dear friends, the names that are listed bear a link ... you may click on
the name to reach the name page,
... for instance ... • *Bengali*: সুন্দরী
sundarihttps://sites.google.com/site/indiannamesofplants/via-names/bengali/sundari-sundari...
clicking on the Bengali name will lead to a page dedicated to সুন্দরী
sundari

Other than wanting to know WHAT is the name of a plant, WHY the name,
naturally follows.
Reason behind basing a name is interesting.

Would like to know stories / beliefs / reasoning for every name of the
plant ... so, please do not hesitate to discuss names of plants.
