My identification of Convolvulus prostratus is primarily based on second
photograph, which clearly has flowers singly or in pairs. Your first
photograph I suspect belongs to another plant, a member of Boraginaceae, may
be Heliotropium eichwaldii

 The key difference between the star white flower and Shankhapushpi is the
 size of the flower with the unidied flower being small-only in few mms size,
 and that  the unidied flower's inflorescence is raceme-as seen in the

 Hi all,
 I found this lovely creeping star white wildflower plant near a roadside

 Would appreciate if someone could id this plant and give any more

 I think this is could be a Glory.
 Some information that could be relevant to identify this plant and also
 to contextualise it ecosystem wise-wasteland, roadside-that is degraded

 livestock, therefore the plants that dominated the landscape were eaten up.
 The area was nearly bereft of any green cover! This year monsoon has just

Re: [efloraofindia:43970] photo

Infact the plant on flowersofindia, seems more like gibsonii to me.
Tabish sir may match the pic with Page mam's pic. Secondly the lower
segment of lateral petal is shorter in FOI pic, hence it cant be
foliosa.

 There are lot of confusion between this partcular group of Habenaria.
 Earlier Habenaria foliosa var. gibsonii and Habenaria foliosa var.
 foliosa were two varieties. But then Habenaria gibsoni was formed from
 the former which had two varieties, Habenaria gibsonii var. gibsonii
 and Habenaria gibsonii var. foetida.
 I find Habenaria foliosa; Habenaria gibsonii var. gibsonii and
 Habenaria gibsonii var. foetida as three distinct taxa, but Kew has
 merged all of them under Habenaria foliosa.
 The main difference between gibsonii and foliosa lies in the length of
 the two lobes of bipartite lateral petal, where as the prominent
 difference in H. g. var. gibsonii and H. g. var. foetida is that of
 smell. Foetida smells like :p shit, whereas former has no or better
 smell!!
 Other few species allied to above taxa are Habenaria digitata and
 Habenaria pangrahiana.

 the size of the flower with the unidied flower being small-only in few mms

 Hi all,
 I found this lovely creeping star white wildflower plant near a
 roadside and once in an adjacent wasteland. There were not that many of
 these plants around. It was rare.
 I am seeing this plant for the first time in 2 years in this area.
 Would appreciate if someone could id this plant and give any more
 information about this plant.
 I think this is could be a Glory.
 Some information that could be relevant to identify this plant and
 also to contextualise it ecosystem wise-wasteland, roadside-that is 
 degraded
 habitats. Also last year inadequate rain and extensive, regular grazing 
 by
 livestock, therefore the plants that dominated the landscape were eaten 
 up.
 The area was nearly bereft of any green cover! This year monsoon has 
 just
 begun and it has been good in the area, and the area has not seen 
 livestock
 grazing. The old dominant species have just begun to make a comeback. 
 This
 plant was seen only in 2 places.

 Apologies for the large file of the plant.

Here are some uses from me:
Cooked as vegetable, also consumed as salad, used for garnishing
Leaves mild stimulant and diuretic, used in scorbutic diseases and hepatic
complaints.
Seeds galactogogue, emmenagogue, diuretic, tonic, aphrodisiac, laxative,
used in poultices for hurts and sprains
Roots used in secondary syphilis and tenesmus.
Seeds also yield a semidrying oil used for soapmaking
Mucilage from seeds known as Cress seed mucilage used as substitute for
tragacanth and gum arabic.
It allays irritation of the intestines in dysentery and diarrhoea.

Re: [efloraofindia:43999] Pink Wildflower

Here are some names for this plant

Hindi: Bharbharra, Jawasa
Mar Guj: Jawaso
Tel: Girikarmika, Tella giniya chettu
Kan: Billiduruva, Durlava
Punjab: Tamiya, Zoz, Zozani

Pankaj ji, in spite of being notorious and irritating weed because of being
armed, it has several uses
Possesses laxative, diuretic, antibilious and antiseptic properties
The twigs and flowers used for fumigation in piles, decoction for cough
Decoction of roots used for swellings and abscesses
A sweet sugary excretion, Alhagi manna, known as Taranjabin used as
expectorant, anti-emetic and laxative
Plant also yields tannin.

Interestingly, whereas the plant overground may hardly reach 1 m or so, it
is several metres underground, allowing this plant to compete and survive in
arid regions.

Re: [efloraofindia:44000] Pink Wildflower

Gurcharan ji,
I did not notice this plant at all last year in the area, which was
dominated by other plants such as Tephrosa purpurea. But all of those
plants were grazed upon and were not able to regenerate.
In their place, this plant came up.
My question is whether this is an invasive plant and whether it comes up
when the old dominant plant species are not able to establish themselves?
Would like if my question is addressed.

Yes, it looks like the plant I mentioned but there are more

Re: [efloraofindia:44002] Pink Wildflower

Janaki ji
Just an update. The species is now correctly known as A. mourorum
I have seen this plant in Delhi mostly in wastelands, with bushes not as
dense as you photographed, may be mostly eradicated because of spiny nature/
cut to be used for various purposes, especially tutties for roof thatches.
The plant however survives being deeply rooted and if left undistubed would
fast regenerate and become gregarious.

2010-08-10 Thread Dr. Arvind Kadus

Hi,All !
I have to make some corrections in my photoes. Yes the red one is D.
burmani and green one is D.indica. Just a typing mistake. The last one
added by me is not the drosera but Utricularia sp. at Lavasa. Sorry
for the mistakes. Actually I am not a Botonist, So please forgive.
Nice pictures with flowering of D. indica. by Prashantaji. Thank you
for this sharing with us.
Don't know about the medicinal values of this plant. Plumbago
zeylanica is one of the plants I think preveously must be the drosera.
Because it is having the bulb with sticky filaments over it.

 Further, It is always advisable to provide details in the prescribed

Sounds interesting to me, but, why you said this is
Commelinaceae..why not Orchidaceae?
This could be Habenaria foliosa or gibsoni or panigrahiana. Habenaria
digitata has green flowers but belongs to the same group.

Let the flower open then click some more pics and dont forget to smell

 My identification of Convolvulus prostratus is primarily based on
 second photograph, which clearly has flowers singly or in pairs. Your 
 first

 be Heliotropium eichwaldii

 The key difference between the star white flower and Shankhapushpi is
 the size of the flower with the unidied flower being small-only in few 
 mms
 size, and that  the unidied flower's inflorescence is raceme-as seen in 
 the
 picture.

 I hope that this observation/clarification of mine could be addressed

 Hi all,
 I found this lovely creeping star white wildflower plant near a
 roadside and once in an adjacent wasteland. There were not that many 
 of
 these plants around. It was rare.
 I am seeing this plant for the first time in 2 years in this area.
 Would appreciate if someone could id this plant and give any more
 information about this plant.
 I think this is could be a Glory.
 Some information that could be relevant to identify this plant and
 also to contextualise it ecosystem wise-wasteland, roadside-that is 
 degraded
 habitats. Also last year inadequate rain and extensive, regular 
 grazing by
 livestock, therefore the plants that dominated the landscape were 
 eaten up.
 The area was nearly bereft of any green cover! This year monsoon has 
 just
 begun and it has been good in the area, and the area has not seen 
 livestock
 grazing. The old dominant species have just begun to make a comeback. 
 This
 plant was seen only in 2 places.

 Apologies for the large file of the plant.

 Thanks
 Janaki Turaga

Re: [efloraofindia:44056] Re: Droseras from KAAS..

2010-08-10 Thread Aparna Watve

Dear Dr. Kadus,
Can you elaborate on the habitat where you found the Utricularia
species? If you found it growing on vertical rock faces, boulders or
tree trunks and if all the leaves are rounded as in the photograph, it
is could be Utricularia striatula, the common lithophytic/epiphytic
Utricularia in the Western Ghats.
Plumbago zeylanica, and many species of Smithia have sticky glandular
hair, where insects get stuck many times. They die there, but the
plant has NO mechanism to digest and use their nutrients. Hence the
plants are not carnivorous in any sense. However, some scientists,
call this condition, protocarnivory, that means a step before
carnivory is achieved. So according to them, such plants might in
evolutionary times (say a few million years in future) also develop a
mechanism to digest plants and learn to digest the insects, and hence
evolve to be truly carnivorous. You can search the wikipedia, which
gives more details of this phenomenon.
Regards,
Aparna
