Thanks Dr. Santhosh Dr. Pankaj,
As you rightly said, traditionally the white (flowered) variety of several
plants have been considered more efficacious. e.g. Calotropis, Clitoria,
Hygrophila, Abrus, Martynia, Desmodium gangeticum etc. While this feature

Anand ji, the butterfly ginger lilies are not sold as sticks, BUT usually
sold in bunch of say 2 - 5 flowers.
What you may be referring is perhaps: *rajanigandha*, the Mexican tuberose

For some days I have been wondering why we are forced by market to
exchange non-fragrant (though attractive) flowers like Jerbera, Roses,
carnations etc. as bouquets? Can we as consumers, start demanding that
flower shops keep fragrant flowers too? There is wide variety
available in Jasmines,
no Dineshji it is not tuberose that I am referring to .I think it is the
same flower. I may be mistaken about the stems.

The point made by Aparna ji is correct to some extent. But the point is
that all the exotic flowers mentioned by her are good cut floweeers and they
can be sold and deocorated in bunches. Jasmine champa and plumeria etc do
not give the same effect in a vase, and then their shelf life and

Cut flowers that we see today have developed through years (atleast 2
centuries for some) of horticultural research. The wild gerbera or
wild rose or wild carnation did not have all the desirable qualities
of a good cut-flower. They were selected, improved upon by various
techniques to give a
I wish it becomes as common in Mumbai too Ranjini ! It is found in some

my compound, and I think these were because of the early Oct rains
Dear Dr. Aparna,
One big reason may be that the non fragrant flowers are more beautiful
and long lasting comparatively.. that is basically due to the
adaptation for pollinator. More over all flowers cant be used in gajra
and at the same time all flowers cant be used for bouquet.
It depends on

Rest assured the demand for fragrant flowers like jasmine and champa
including michelia champak will never go down because of their in gajra,
worship and perfumery industry. Jasmine blooms in summer when very few other
flowers are available.

As far as I know the height of the stem is not a constant delimiting
character for any species of Biophytum. You can see same species in
different habitat behave differently. The plant you observed might be in
