Yah...these are Lemna commonly called Duck-weed.
In Bengali, we call it 'Panaa'.
It is very common in most ponds of India, and form such a continuous

The leaves of C.bulbosa are extremely variable. They vary from being

 I rechecked and found that the last plant is not Habenaria furcifera

 ovalifolia is considered as synonym of Habenaria furcifera by Kew, but
 while checking the references I found that they should be very
 different plant owing to the longer hooked spur in H. furcifera which
 is straight and shorter in H. ovalifolia; distinctly opened up three
 lobes in H. furcifera which in H. ovalifolia the midlobe is not fully
 open; bracts are longer than ovary or almost equal in H. furcifera,
 which is shorter in H. ovalifolia.

 Kindly post more pics of each plant and please if possible send me one

I remember as kids we used to stick petals of these flowers on our nails and
show off to our friends that we have long nails. These days we get

  Your tree seems to have been attacked by Wood borers [generally Long-horned 
Beetle larve]. Am sure Ken will be able to help us with this.

I have attached two pictures of bark damage secondary to drastic pruning of 
young Anthocephalus cadamba branches. There seem to be holes in the bark ( ? 
due to termite infestation secondary to damaged bark) and we are concerned that 
the tree may not survive the damage. 
 
Please let us know the possible prognosis in this case as well as solutions to 
prevent a premature demise in this tree.

 Dear Rakesh

 It seems that the tree is attacked by some borer insect. It needs to be
 injected with borer specific insecticide which can be procured from any
 agricultural shop. The simplest insecticide can be neem oil. Here the
 termites are secondary infection to the dead wood. You need not use any
 termite specific insecticide. Once you can remove the primary culprit, the
 secondary infection will go automatically. You can find some holes created

Rakesh ji,

  Here is one traditional knowledge based solution. Bring Dhol locally known
as Mandar http://ecoport.org/ep?SearchType=pdbPdbID=100183and play it
nearer to the affected tree. The vibrations created will force the insects
to come out and leave the affected tree. Through this way you can get rid
from insects without killing it.

When Sal Borer attacked in Shorea trees in millions of hactares in Madhya
Pradesh in my report based on surveys I suggested this method proposed by
the tribals.

can it be Oenothera biennis? Germanname Nachtkerze?
Oenothera glazioviana should have some red color at the bottom of the flower, i 
think.
Nachtkerze (engl. evening star) opens in the evening and moths pollinate the 
flowers. The oil from the seeds is used against Neurodermitis,  also used a lot 
as Additive in Kosmetikartikels.
Roots are supposed to be edible, though i never tried it.
Normally grows on sandy places and wasteland.

yes the first two seem to be Antirhinum majus. engl. Common Snapdragon, german 
Löwenmaul. Engl wiki says The common name snapdragon, originates from the 
flowers reaction to having their throats squeezed, which causes the mouth of 
the flower to snap open. Antirrhinum majus literally means like a rhino's 
snout in Ancient Greek. 
Germans seem to be seeing a  Löwenmaul = Lions jaw. I had some very nice

 Rakesh ji,

   Here is one traditional knowledge based solution. Bring Dhol locally
 known as Mandar http://ecoport.org/ep?SearchType=pdbPdbID=100183and
 play it nearer to the affected tree. The vibrations created will force the
 insects to come out and leave the affected tree. Through this way you can
 get rid from insects without killing it.

 When Sal Borer attacked in Shorea trees in millions of hactares in Madhya

 the tribals.

 Dear Rakesh

 It seems that the tree is attacked by some borer insect. It needs to be
 injected with borer specific insecticide which can be procured from any
 agricultural shop. The simplest insecticide can be neem oil. Here the
 termites are secondary infection to the dead wood. You need not use any
 termite specific insecticide. Once you can remove the primary culprit, the
 secondary infection will go automatically. You can find some holes created
 by the borers, the neem oil can be injected through these holes through
 normal 10-15 ml. hypodermic syringes.

 Dear Colleagues,

 I am happy to announce the release of the first edition (2011) of our Book
 *Text Book of Fungi  Their Allies* Published by Macmillan Publishers
 India. The present textbook is intended for students pursuing graduation
 and post graduation in Botany, students of the faculty of Life sciences,
 Agriculture, Forestry, Microbiology, Environmental Sciences and
 Biotechnology.

 The main purpose of this book is to introduce inquisitive students with a
 blend of traditional and modern concepts about fungi.

 This book has 754 pages, 416 figures and about 121 colour photographs of
 fungi and the diseases caused by them. The coloured plate section is given
 at the end of the book.

 There are several Interesting Readings boxes given at specific places in
 the text. These readings deal with controversies and new developments in the
 fungal world in order to expand the scope of the field of mycology.

 The book also includes Mini Glossary at the end of each chapter and a
 comprehensive Glossary in the appendix.

 We earnestly hope that the book will certainly prove to be useful in
 furnishing comprehensive up-to-date information in quite interesting manner
 for our esteemed readers. We will be only too happy to receive comments,
 suggestions and criticism from our colleagues, because it will be their
 views that will go a long way to improve the text at the time of revision.

 Happy Reading!

Gurcharan ji, ... there is a melee of plants at the spot !! and therefore so
many photos ... do you think two different plants are getting into focus ?

The plant in focus in photo # 2 ... P1230628.jpg is to my belief, the top
part of another same plant whose ID is sought.
Not sure whether there are 2 / 3 same plants in that area ( 4' x 4' ).



Let me know if cropped version of any original photograph needs to be
attached to get closer.
To avoid any ambiguity, you may ask for:
... top-left / top-right / bottom-left / bottom right /
OR
... top-center / right-center / bottom-center / left-center

Many many thanks Gurcharan ji,
The crowd of plants confused me, not you !!!

So, there are indeed two plants that I have mixed up !!
*Rumex dentatus* and *Chenopodium ambrosioides* ... and on checking out how
they look like at FOI and elsewhere on the internet, they both look
confusingly alike to me at this moment.

Would conclude that all the photos are of *Rumex dentatus, *except for

We have a similar looking tree, a Ficus roxburghii in Sikkim which is

Perhaps you could check it out.
