[efloraofindia:46959] Re: Id of stinging climber from Arunachal Pradesh
Thanks a lot Muthu ji for the clue! A few days back Vijayshankarji had also suggested me to look for Tragia. Today I checked it on the New York Botanical Garden Virtual Herbarium (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/vh/specimen.php?irn=89808), in Illustrated flora of Vietnam and in Flora of China. I think this plant is Pachystylidium hirsutum (Blume) Pax K. Hoffmann (Syn.: Tragia irritans, T. hirsuta). Distribution: IndoChina, Peninsular India, Thailand, Vietnam, Combodia, Philippines, Java and Laos. Other comments are solicited. Best regards, Ritesh.

Re: [efloraofindia:46961] For ID 090910 ET
This is Dendrobium, but in this condition its hard to id. If I had to give one guess then on the basis of drooping stem and small fruit (the one small thing hanging from one stem, if it is a fruit) this should be Dendrobium aphyllum (earlier known as Dendrobium macrostachyum) which has green coloured flowers.

[efloraofindia:46973] Re: Rubiaceae for id 300810MK2
HmBennargatta NP. Surely it is T.asiatica only... it may extant up to 1300m altitude mostly in gaps and edges. If you id Rubiaceae plants without mature fruits it may mislead you quite a distance. Mostly people avoid characters of fruits from the key..and look in to flower and leaf characters... But mature fruits are very very important as far as Rubiacean plant id is concerned. Once you id any plant with fruit and flower characters, note down the important distinguishing morphological characters. Life would become easy.. Try this with the genus.. Psychotria... and Hedyotis. If you succeed, then you can become master of the family Rubiaceae.

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins 1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable s ize. 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime. 3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors. 4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors. 5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system. 6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone m arrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc., and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. 7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs. 8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction. 9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications. 10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cel ls to spread to other sites. 11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON: a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved. c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. W ater--best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup. 13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. 14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins , minerals, EFAs etc.) to

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 think both of the above are absolutely wrong indeed. Can anyone think of a Chlorophytum with long inflorescence in Maharastra? Those yellow things near the mouth of buds seems to me like anthers. So this cant be an Orchid at all. Even leaves doesnt point towards any of the Peristylus known to me. P. goodyeroides is absolutely ruled out. P. plantagineus, the colour doesnt match at all.

Re: [efloraofindia:47073] Flora of Manipur: Phyllanthus urinaria
Thanks Tanay ji. This is one example (of hundreds of sites) which cautions us that we should not simply 'take it for granted' without verification. In the link provided by you, under the Plant name Phyllanthus urinaria, they have included 3 different species (P. amarus, P. niruri, P. debilis) as other names. What's the meaning i don't know. But we know that traditionally P. amarus (earlier known as P. niruri in India which is a different sp.) is used for the purpose you have mentioned. So kindly refer professional websites to be sure about the authenticity of the info.
