Mani, thanks for the additional information. In the 2nd picture (lotus3.jpg), to the left of the flower you can see a few leaves which have a deep cut on them, which goes up to the middle - these should be Waterlily leaves. On the right of the flower, you can see a big leaf which doesn't seem to have a cut, and the leaf stalk is attached to the middle of the leaf, from below, like in an umbrella. That should be a lotus leaf. - Tabish On Jul 6, 9:51 pm, mani nair mani.na...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Rasingam ji,Tabish ji and Tanay ji for the reply.

[efloraofindia:41374] Re: Michelia champaka -blooming in Chennai
After looking at this closely, it appears to me that instead of being Desmos praecox, this one could be Desmos chinensis (Syn: Unona discolor), for the following reasons: 1. Desmos praecox is supposed to flower in February, much earlier than other Desmos species, as indicated by the species name praecox which means early flowering. Padmini's pictures were taken in early July. So, flowering time doesn't quite agree. 2. Leaves of Desmos praecox are described as lanceshaped, long-pointed (acuminate). Leaves of Desmos chinensis are described as ovate- lanceshaped, with somewhat cordate base. Leaves in Padmini's pictures appear to be with a flat base, not really a pointed base, and look too broad to be called lanceshaped. 3. Leaves of Desmos chinensis are described to be smooth above, and glaucous below. In Padmini's 3rd picture, the galucous underside of some leaves is visible. 4. Flowers of Desmos chinensis are supposed to be very fragrant. I could not find mention of any prominent fragrance in the description of Desmos praecox. Comments from experts are needed.

Dianthus barbatus is commonly known as Sweet William. A prominent feature of Sweet William is that the flowers are borne in a compact ball-like head, carried on a stem. http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Sweet%20William.html Flowers of China Pinks (Dianthus chinensis) do not arise in such a compact bunch. Also, leaves of Dianthus barbatus are much broader, appearing to be elliptic/oval, whereas leaves of Dianthus chinensis are narrow, appearing to be lanceshaped.

[efloraofindia:42339] Re: Anagallis arvensis ssp. arvensis
The Blue Pimpernel and the Scarlet Pimpernel both are often called shepherd's weather glass or shepherd's clock because the flowers close before sunset or if it is about to rain. These brightly colored flowers appear as bright dots in the field, which dramatically disappear when the flowers close, if the sky is overcast or the sun is about to set. Closed flowers are quite hard to notice because of their dull color. - Tabish On Jul 26, 12:17 pm, Pankaj Oudhia pankajoud...@gmail.com wrote: Nice pictures Gurcharan ji. Not sure about the medicinal properties of this type as blue flowered Anagallis is very common in crop fields specially in winter season crops in my region. Anagallis is known as Poor man's (or farmer's) weather clock as its flowers close before bad weather. Again I am not sure whether your Anagallis is also having same property or not? While walk in forest when we get injury from Tribulus or Asteracantha spines the Healers use local herbs whereas I prefer use of Anagallis as Homoeo-drug. It acts in miraculous way. Anagallis arvensis possess benefical Allelopathic properties. I tried it on different medicinal and aromatic crops, at first in lab and then in fields, and now my farmers are using it. Accprding to weed researchers it is a curse but for the farmers aware of its healing properties it is boon.

[efloraofindia:44811] Re: ID request-150810-PKA1
I think this plant needs some further thinking. Flora of Pakistan says that Cassia pumila has 6-25 pairs of leaflets, and doesn't talk about any terminal leaflet. This plant with large terminal leaflet, then cannot be Cassia pumila. Cassia kolabensis, on the other hand, is supposed to have 5-9 leaflets, too far away from the 17 or so leaflets seen here. But curiously a pdf file mailed to me by Prashant shows a drawing of Cassia kolabensis where 13 leaflets are also seen! Apart from the number of leaflets, the description of Cassia kolabensis agrees very well with the plant here, including the needle-like point at the end of the leaflets and the terminal leaflet being larger and of different shape. By the way, the current name is Chamaecrista kolabensis. - Tabish On Aug 16, 12:38 pm, Sweedle Cerejo sweedle.cer...@gmail.com wrote: Hello once again!
