Thanks Gurcharan ji
The plant only had flowers at that time or I have missed the fruits.
Anyway thanks for making me aware of this feature. Next time I will remember
to note it.

 Could you upload a photograph of magnified fruit, that will confirm its
 identity. Somehow I feel the stamen number is not more than 10. T.
 rhomboidea usually has 10-15 stamens and T. pentandra 5(usually)-10. The two
 species have often been confused, but the fruits are distinctive.

Re: [efloraofindia:50844] Delonix regia var. flavida

2010-10-15 Thread Anand Kumar Bhatt

My layman's understanding is that Caesalpinia pulcherrima is a bush and can
be yellow (Radha chuda) and red (Krishna chuda) whereas delonix regia can be
pink bright pink or yellow and it is  a tree. Caesalpinia's identifying
characteristic is its ver;y long stamens.
In Bengal gulmohur is also known as Krishna chuda.
Any corrections welcome.

 Last month you had raised question about differences between Caesalpinia
 pulcherrima var. flava and Delonix regia var. flavida. Today I had a casual
 check and found these:
 Sepals in Delonix are narrower and valvate in bud, in Caesalpinia they
 are broader and imbricate
 Stamens slightly longer than petals in Delonix, they are 2-3 times longer
 in Caesalpinia
 Fruits 30-50 cm long in Delonix, less than 10 cm in Caesalpinia

 Hi
 sharing snap of the Yellow variety of Royal Poinciana (Delonix regia
 var. flavida )...commonly called Gulmohar.
 Although it is endemic to Madagascarit is widely grown in India as
 an avenue tree.
 We call it Radha-choora in Bengalias the red Gulmohar is called
 Krishna-choora.

Mani Ji, It does live long but it has many disadvantages, first of all
large surface roots, coming in the way of foundations of buildings, in
a  garden the roots spread to such distances that it takes away the
fertilizers meant for other cash crops. However, a study needs made
about any rhizobiums that it may be nurturing which may fertilize the
soil. Remember it is a legume.

Could you upload a photograph of magnified fruit, that will confirm its 
identity. Somehow I feel the stamen number is not more than 10. T. rhomboidea 
usually has 10-15 stamens and T. pentandra 5(usually)-10. The two species have 
often been confused, but the fruits are distinctive.

Yazdi Ji,
In a garden, the size and species are selected according to the size/ use of
a garden. Usually in a home garden, which are small in size, big trees are
not planted.

 Mani Ji, It does live long but it has many disadvantages, first of all
 large surface roots, coming in the way of foundations of buildings, in
 a  garden the roots spread to such distances that it takes away the
 fertilizers meant for other cash crops. However, a study needs made
 about any rhizobiums that it may be nurturing which may fertilize the
 soil. Remember it is a legume.

  Dear Friends,
  Come to think of it, I have never seen any birds nesting on it too. I
  think because of the nature of the tree. I think that it lacks
  crisscrossing branches for the birds to build a nest on it. The
  branches are mostly lateral and are heavy and long. The leaves are so
  small that it is not much of a shade, moreover, it gets blown away in
  strong brease. However very large trees with cavities offer shelter to
  birds like robin Magpie also to flying squirrels. Dry large branches
  give shelter to woodpeckers and may be parrots too , birds create a
  hole in the dead wood.

Re: [efloraofindia:50898] Fruiting tree for ID from Jaipur forest | 08Aug10AR01

If it is the same plant then I dont think it should be edible as the fruits
of one of the species of Aesculus (Aesculus hippocastanum) are considered to
be poisonous for horse. Its called HORSE CHEST NUT. Used in poisoning horse
food.

Prashant ji
Thanks for link. I have been using this book from my Ph.D. days, and for
last few months from the web from the same link (downloaded on my computer).
There are two major groups within Veronica (as you must have seen in the
key) those where the main stem ends in an inflorescence by leaves becoming
smaller and becoming bracts. V. perpusilla belongs to this group. The second
group has flowers borne in distinct axillary racemes. V. beccabunga is the
only member of this group among the species growing in wet places, with
petioled upper leaves which are almost rounded in shape. You may check this
in above photographs.

Re: [efloraofindia:50917] Cersatium fontanum var. triviale from Kashmir

After further scrutiny I have come to the conclusion that my plant
identifies better with C. fontanum on account of two things:
The petals are longer than sepals
capsule is much longer than fruiting calyx

 “* This one doesn't look like Cerastium fontanum subsp. triviale* to

 me, which is now treated synonymous with Cerastium fontanum subsp.
 vulgare. Petals are supposed to be shorted than sepals in that
 species. However, in your flower the petals are distinctly longer than
 the sepals.
   To me it looks like  Cerastium dahuricum (alternate spelling
 Cerastium davuricum), with notched petals longer than sepals and stem-
 clasping leaves

 Your comments?

 “Thanks for pointing out the petals length. It, however, does not look like
 C. davuricum in which the plants are much taller, leaves much broader at
 base (ovate) and clasping.

 http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=39189flora_id=2

 My plant *may be C. fontanum var. grandiflorum perhaps*, the leaves are
 clearly elliptic-lanceolate. Let us continue the search.

2010-10-15 Thread J.M. Garg

Some earlier reply:
Dear Raghuji,

As per your description, the leaf edge is entire. But in DSC_4249a the leaf
margin appears to me as Crenulate. Fruits are also not prickly or verrucose.
So I suppose this plant to be* Aesculus assamica (Hippocastanaceae).
*
Pl validate.

Ritesh.
