available under a single row  easily searchable. However, correctness of
data/ identification is dependent on the members’ inputs in a particular
post. Therefore, Errors/ mistakes cannot be ruled out- all are requested to
point them out for corrections.

This file contains all the plants discussed at Efloraofindia, for you to
peruse offline/ online  is very useful for reference. Try *Edit » Find* to
search any word / name in this database. It is alphabetically arranged by
botanical name, with relevant synonyms. Useful links are put along with
Efloraofindia links. The spreadsheet can be manipulated in any manner. For
example, one can sort the plants family wise as family names are given in a
separate column.

*The regional names* of the plants are continuously added thanks to Dinesh
ji, Tabish ji etc. All members are encouraged to share the names in their
languages -- these are just as important as botanical name of the plant.

*Special articles* like 'PICKING SEEDS', 'My Dream Garden' etc.  *unidentified
plants* are being put at the end of the Database starting with Zz Unided
- Any feedback about these unidentified plants is always welcome.

I request all members to provide date  place upto state level (so that
flowering data can be incorporated in the Database)  also follow the
posting guidelines along with format for Id requests.

*Kudos to the moderators, experts  other members who are rendering selfless
service on the group!*

I thank all the experts  members, who have made this endeavor possible for
the benefit of everyone.

shepherd's-purse because of its triangular, purse-like pods, is a small (up
to 0.5m) annual and ruderal species. It is naturalised in many places and
grows as a weed esp in colder climates.

 at least 100 species reported from India, but not more than 500, so that the
 group can be covered adequately.
      It has been decided to have the November week (starting with First
 November, which incidentally falls on Monday) focus on Apocynaceae
 (including Asclepiadaceae). Dr. Balkar Singh ji will be the coordinator for
 this episode. December week will focus Grasses (the group inspite of being
 very large, is given episode in light of the fact that very few members are
 generally well versed with grasses) to be coordinated by Dr. Ritesh Kumar
 Chouodhary ji, January, 2011 week will focus Vegetables and Fruits, to be
 coordinated by Dinesh Valke ji.
      Members are requested give their suggestions regarding future episodes,
 and volunteer to coordinate the group of their choice.

   I request maximum participation by members in these episodes, and can
 collect and save photographs of relevant groups for discussion during the
 week.

It is good for me that this flower came under discussion. I spent
hours yesterday in sorting out some Campanula species. Prashant's
plant is, I think, Campanula pallida var. pallida (Syn: Campanula
colorata). According to Flora of Pakistan, flowers of Campanula
pallida var. pallida are purple to light purple. It should be the same
as what is there on FOI (the link posted by Prashant). We found this
plant again at Dhanaulti, this month.
Gurcharan ji's flower is, I think, Campanula pallida var. tibetica,
which, according to Flora of Pakistan, has bluish-white or pale-blue
flowers. I have seen this plant in Nainital.
Critical comments are needed, for me to be confident.

One thing is sure, my and Tabish ji's plants (at least the first photograph)
are same. The calyx is deeply cut but the base does not seem to be broadened
and overlapping, rather there is a broad obtuse sinus between the calyx
lobes. The colour is, however, matching.

Perhaps more research is needed.

But then the other important comment in FBI is very relevant for our plant.
When I photographed this plant from, somehow it looked different to me from
C. colorata collected so often by me from Kashmir. The flower looked
semi-inferior , a comment appropriate from var. tibetica in FBI.

 One thing is sure, my and Tabish ji's plants (at least the first
 photograph) are same. The calyx is deeply cut but the base does not seem to
 be broadened and overlapping, rather there is a broad obtuse sinus between
 the calyx lobes. The colour is, however, matching.

 Perhaps more research is needed.

  It is good for me that this flower came under discussion. I spent
  hours yesterday in sorting out some Campanula species. Prashant's
  plant is, I think, Campanula pallida var. pallida (Syn: Campanula
  colorata). According to Flora of Pakistan, flowers of Campanula
  pallida var. pallida are purple to light purple. It should be the same
  as what is there on FOI (the link posted by Prashant). We found this
  plant again at Dhanaulti, this month.
  Gurcharan ji's flower is, I think, Campanula pallida var. tibetica,
  which, according to Flora of Pakistan, has bluish-white or pale-blue
  flowers. I have seen this plant in Nainital.
  Critical comments are needed, for me to be confident.

I believe all the three flowers shared here are same. Need to do some
research for the id.
Wwhen ovary is at the highest position (petals and sepals arising from
position below the ovary. Ovary is placed on thalamus) then it is
called Superior Ovary. But there are times when ovary is placed inside
a cup shaped thalamus with petals and sepals at the margins of the
thalamus, then the ovary is called Semi inferior. In inferior ovary,
thalamus surrounds the ovary completely and petals and sepals are
placed on the  top.

Gurcharan ji,
   I am tempted to agree with you on this, except that the corolla of
C. cana looks more campanulate (bell-shaped), whereas our flowers are
more towards funnel-shaped (narrower at the base). Otherwise,
agreement seems to be quite good. This species is found at altitudes
1200-3400 m, and it is not even mentioned in Polunin  Stainton!

 Dear members
 Balkar ji started a focus on members of members of family Convolvulaceae.
 This was followed up by a weekend focus on Cucurbits, which gave us a good
 insight into the diversity within the group. After discussion within the
 moderator group it has been decided to observe a monthly week, in the first
 week of every month starting with Monday (on whatever date it comes) and
 ending with Sunday, when we will discuss a particular group, even the
 species already in the database and and members will upload their
  photographs  of identified as well as unidentified plants of that group.
 Considering the diversity and size of various taxa, the focus group can be a
 Family, a group of families, a genus, or a subgroup within the family having
 at least 100 species reported from India, but not more than 500, so that the
 group can be covered adequately.
      It has been decided to have the November week (starting with First
 November, which incidentally falls on Monday) focus on Apocynaceae
 (including Asclepiadaceae). Dr. Balkar Singh ji will be the coordinator for
 this episode. December week will focus Grasses (the group inspite of being
 very large, is given episode in light of the fact that very few members are
 generally well versed with grasses) to be coordinated by Dr. Ritesh Kumar
 Chouodhary ji, January, 2011 week will focus Vegetables and Fruits, to be
 coordinated by Dinesh Valke ji.
      Members are requested give their suggestions regarding future episodes,
 and volunteer to coordinate the group of their choice.

   I request maximum participation by members in these episodes, and can
 collect and save photographs of relevant groups for discussion during the
 week.

Dear Arvind Kadus ji,
Please check the following link. It gives a little detail that it can be
cultivated in polyhouse at 1300 M above MSL
It also mentions certain pests etc.

 Some earlier relevant feedback:

 “It grows at higher altitudes I think so not sure about its cultivation at
 lower elevations. Just for information, I am attaching two pics of the plant
 from Tunganath, Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, Uttarakhand. Pic was taken in
 2009.

   Hi,All !,
 Can any body give me the information regarding the cultivation of
 Picrorrhiza kurroa i.e. Kutaki. I know that Pune is not the suitable
 destination but I want to try it in shed net or polyhouse etc. It may be
 difficult but not impossible. In Ayurveda it is most wanted drug or raw
 material and righ now overexploited.Need to conserve and cultivate in large.
 Please send details, Sites, links whatever you have.
 Thanx,
 Dr. Kadus Arvind,Pune.

2010-10-18 Thread Prashant awale
Dear Tabish,
I agree with u . In fact my latest post agrees well with FOI.  But   the
initial post of this thread with light pink flowers were of visibly smaller
in size as compared to my latest posts. Also the leaves were much more
hirsute, bit thicker,  stems and calyx more hairy as compared to latest
post. Probably these might just be variation due to altitude variation etc.
and all  of these could be Campanula colorata (Campanula pallida var.
pallida) as mentioned by u and Dr Gurcharan Singh ji.

Thanks to yourself, Dr Gurcharan Singh ji, Dr Pankaj Kumar ji for this
useful discussion. Its a learning experience for people like us.
regards
Prashant

 Prashant,
  This does look like Camapnula colorata (Campanula pallida var.
 pallida) to me, unless you mention a disagreeable size. I think this
 is the same as what we have here:

I believe all the three flowers shared here are same. Need to do
 some
research for the id.
Wwhen ovary is at the highest position (petals and sepals arising
   from
position below the ovary. Ovary is placed on thalamus) then it is
called Superior Ovary. But there are times when ovary is placed
   inside
a cup shaped thalamus with petals and sepals at the margins of
 the
thalamus, then the ovary is called Semi inferior. In inferior
 ovary,
thalamus surrounds the ovary completely and petals and sepals are
placed on the  top.
