Thank You Rashida Ji, The only reason I suggested 6 mm, is because , I
have seen such solanum at my place, measured them to be around 6mm to
7 mm. The only difference between the plants that I have seen and your
pictures is the number of spines. So I guess I am wrong.

Nice work sir.

I have few suggestions:

1. Will it be possible to repost all Apocynacians in one thread?
Discussion can be on their specific threads but recompilation of all
under one thread with Apocynaceae as a heading.
2. Secondly, I hope members dont interpret this as if they are
supposed to post only Apocynacian members and not others. They can
post anything as usual, but just special emphasis will be given to
Apocynacians in compilation.

Best wishes

Dear All,

Greetings from Wilmington, Delaware, USA. This is my first post and I
am looking forward to future discussions.

My interests in plants lie in Convolvulaceae species and Salvia
species. In my garden, Salvia species from Asia do particularly well,
such as native species from Japan, China, and India. I have been
seeking seeds of the true flowering Salvia hians for almost a decade.
The seeds I buy or trade for in USA invariably come from hybridized
plants. Have any of you had the experience of growing the true Salvia
hians in your gardens?

I found a photo on Flowers of India that brought joy to my eyes.

2010-10-31 Thread J.M. Garg
Dear members,
This will help you in managing your Efloraofindia mails better by *creating
separate folders*.
Steps are given below:
1) Select any ‘Efloraofindia’ mail
2) Click: More actions
3) Click: Filter messages like these
4) It will automatically show: Has the words: list: (
indiantreepix.googlegroups.com)
5) Click: Next Step
6) In the menu- Apply the label: Choose label...Click: down arrow for the
drop down menu
7) In that Click: New label
8) Enter the name Efloraofindia
9) You will see the message in a box: Your filter is created.
10) Click/ Select on the next box saying: Also apply filter to …
conversations below.
 Also *mark important mails* which you want to see  reply later as
'starred' by clicking on * (star) against the mail. You can see these
starred mails later by clicking on 'Starred' folder on the left side below
Spam folder etc.

One can delete mail of a particular e-group (created as a separate Folder)
in this way instead of deleting messages date wise, if mail capacity is
filled up.
Also use ‘*Personal level indicators’* in your Gmail. It's highly useful.
Follow the following steps:
1. Click on 'Settings' at the top right corner in you Gmail.
2. Go to 'Personal level indicators'  Select 'Show indicators - Display an
arrow ( › ) by messages sent to my address (not a mailing list) and a double
arrow ( » ) by messages sent only to me.'
3. Click on 'Save changes' at the bottom.

 Thanks for your nice suggestion
 I was just thinking about the idea given by you at number one. We should
 have a thread rather a single post having atleast one pic of each
 representative and it should be named as their Botanical name not by DSCN001
  etc.
 Regarding second point, i think there is no problem with as usual postings.
 Yes we will have special emphasis on Apocynaceae

Dear friends,

Are *Wedelia urticaefolia* (also spelt *urticifolia*) and *W.

If so, which is the accepted name now ?

Re: [efloraofindia:52671] Turnera speciosum

2010-10-31 Thread Gurcharan Singh
Yes logically it should be T. speciosa (but some times logic fails as was in
prattensis yesterday; and the author has that liberty). The name does not
appear in IPNI (speciosa or speciosum) or the Net. May be a very recently
named (and described?) species. Some one having latest Flora of Maharashtra
can verify.

   Flora of China mentions Polygonum amplexicaule var. sinense (Syn.:
Bistorta amplexicauis subsp. sinensis),
however, the flowers are supposed to be red. Nowhere does the

  Bistorta amplexicaulis var. amplexicaulis is supposed to have white
to pinkish white flowers. Cannot verify other aspects, as no picture

  Magnifications sometimes confuse, was confused about the plant I have

  You are right, it is Polygonum amplexicaule. Here are my photographs from

  Dear Sir,

  The number of stamens in Polygonum is not limited to 5 only.

  A/C to FBI, the number of stamens in:

  Polygonum Sect. Avicularia: 3-8
  Polygonum sect. Persicaria: 4-8
  Polygonum sect. Bistorta: 4-10
  Polygonum sect.  Cephalophilon: 6-8
  Polygonum sect Echinocaulon: 5-8

  So, I suppose this plant to be as Polygonum amplexicaule (syn:
  Bistorta amplexicaule).

  P. amplexicaule var. speciosum is very common in E.  W. Himalayas
  having dark pink perinath.

 because during ancient times, degrees or anything offered from school

[efloraofindia:52741] Re: Polygonum aviculare subsp. aviculare: pl confirm

2010-10-31 Thread Ritesh Kumar Choudhary
Dear Sir,

Most probably your are right in identifying this plant as P. aviculare.
Though, a scrutiny of the nuts would help more. I suppose the number of
stamens in your plant is 8. Fl. Pakistan describes this plant with 5 (-4)
stamens whereas Fl. China with 8 stamens. Hooker has written nothing about
the number of stamens. However, the illustrations available on net goes with
P. aviculare. I think a close scrutiny of the complete plant specimen would
only confirm the identity.

Best regards,
Ritesh.

 This is second plant I am doubtful about. The leaves look heterophyllous
 but texture of leaves and shape looks different. May be P. aviculare subsp.
 aviculate (doubtfully) or some other species.

Dregea volubilis from Delhi, was photographed growing over hedges and park
fence, and was identified after a lot of discussion, some members initially
suggesting species of Marsdenia but fruits finally clinching the issue. The
plant, however, much more hairy than the plant uploaded by Dinesh ji as per
the following link.

 different landscapes of India from Central, South, North East, West
 from Deserts to Evergreen to Dry decicudous to Alpine meadows and now
 a days in Leh, in search of plants.  Most probably more than any one
 else in the group.If he couldnt identify this, then it means something
 unique.
 Secondly, the constriction on the fruit surface depicts a bilocular

 of some hintthough leaf is not opposite.
