Re: [efloraindia:99317] Twists and turns while tracing the correct names?
Indeed interesting Pankaj. To me, the most interesting point is someone digging into this chaos. Not much is discussed in this regard; and rarely such matter is put in black and white. Though not knowing the plants you mentioned, it is getting clearer that botanical name alone may not suggest a species, unless accompanied by the author citation. Thank you very much for the eye-opening post. Regards. Dinesh Regards.

Here are few strange examples: A. Bulbophyllum careyanum (Hook.) Spreng., Syst. Veg. 3: 732 (1826). Bulbophyllum carrianum J.J.Verm., Gard. Bull. Singapore 52: 279 (2000). Both of the above examples are of accepted names of two different plants, but they are pronounced similarly though they have variation in spelling and etymology. B. Bulbophyllum klossii Ridl., Trans.

Second name is invalid as the first name already existed. These name dont refer to the same plant because first plant is actually synonyms of Bulbophyllum trachyanthum Kraenzl., Oesterr. Bot. Z. 44: 336 (1894), where as second one refers to Bulbophyllum purpurascens Teijsm. Binn., Natuurk. Tijdschr. Ned.-Indië 24: 308 (1862). C. Bulbophyllum ciliatum (Blume) Lindl., Gen. Sp. Orchid.

This is a tentative schedule for the second Pune tree fest. The first one was held in September 2010. It is wonderful to see that we have managed to have it the second time around, and this would be thanks to the active coordination of the PMC (Mangesh Dighe and Zurmure) and Ketaki Ghate. This time we have newer partners and some newer ideas. ** ** Some of you had expressed interest in organising certain activities, and some of these activities already mentioned in the schedule can also be replicated in your area and neighbourhood. ** ** The contact people have also been provided for each of these activities. It would be great if you ensure participation in these activities, or if you feel have your own celebrations in your areas and localities. ** ** *I personally would like to take on some online activities but I need some more people to help with this. Specially the tech savvy, and the youth savvy **J**. So if anyone (many-one) would be ready to volunteer that would be great.* ** ** The photos below are a small glimpse of the wonderful celebrations we had in 2010 (opening ceremony, exhibitions, public hearing, plays, name the tree, schools participating, college enthusiasm and you can see the creations by the Symbiosis student volunteers, poetry, music and the drum circle, sculpting workshop etc). Some of you were there but most of you missed it.

In many regions in South Karnataka C.caudata is used for fencing village areas like agricultural plots, cattlesheds, goatsheds etc. Its propogated by branch cuttings also.

People come to stealing it when they are not able to get it. There was a time when one Paph was collected form india and taken to UK. It was multiplied at a nursery and sold out in UK and neighboring areas. At one point their stocks ended and they had no more plants to sell. Then they kept an award of 1000 pounds (during British period) for whomsoever brings them one plant of the Paph. People set out on expedition all the way from Europe to north east India and adjoining areas and scratched lot of plants to take away home. The plant was Paphiopedilum farrieanum. Of course now the plant has been discovered in neighboring countries too. But during early 18th century, 1000 pounds was a big amount for one plant and the worst thing is, people came and collected unscrupulously from wild. Enjoy.

This is a tentative schedule for the second Pune tree fest. The first one was held in September 2010. It is wonderful to see that we have managed to have it the second time around, and this would be thanks to the active coordination of the PMC (Mangesh Dighe and Zurmure) and Ketaki Ghate. This time we have newer partners and some newer ideas. ** ** Some of you had expressed interest in organising certain activities, and some of these activities already mentioned in the schedule can also be replicated in your area and neighbourhood. ** ** The contact people have also been provided for each of these activities. It would be great if you ensure participation in these activities, or if you feel have your own celebrations in your areas and localities. ** ** *I personally would like to take on some online activities but I need some more people to help with this. Specially the tech savvy, and the youth savvy **J**. So if anyone (many-one) would be ready to volunteer that would be great.* ** ** The photos below are a small glimpse of the wonderful celebrations we had in 2010 (opening ceremony, exhibitions, public hearing, plays, name the tree, schools participating, college enthusiasm and you can see the creations by the Symbiosis student volunteers, poetry, music and the drum circle, sculpting workshop etc). Some of you were there but most of you missed it. So hopefully this time we have given enough notice for all of you to mark your calendars. ** ** ** ** [image: IMG_0024.jpg][image: IMG_0038.jpg][image: IMG_0050.jpg][image: IMG_0057.jpg][image: IMG_0062.jpg][image: IMG_0080.jpg][image: IMG_0131.jpg][image:

Incorrectly as Amydrium tetrasperma Common names: Amydrium 'Ginnie', Philodendron Ginny, Mini monstera, Miniature monstera, Philodendron imbe Ginny, Epipremnum Ginny Mini split-leaf Philodendron This species is not a Philodendron, Monstera, Epipremnum nor Amydrium species A member of the aroid tribe Monstereae, Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is a native of Thailand and Malaysia that was identified to science in 1893. Based on the information available, Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is somewhat more closely related to the genus Monstera than Philodendron as some discussions on the internet attempt to imply. However, neither genus is closely related. Aroid expert Julius Boos explains, The genus Monstera and all its relatives produce blooms with a bisexual spadix ,male and female flowers throughout the length of the spadix, while the Philodendrons and their relatives Homolamena and Furtadoa produce blooms with a unisexual spadix with female flowers at its base with sterile and male flowers above the female zone, which makes them very far apart and not close relatives even though they may appear alike! Neither Philodendron nor Monstera species are found naturally outside Central America, Mexico, South America and the Caribbean since they are NeoTropical species. The NeoTropics is defined as Mexico, Central America, South America, the Caribbean and the southern tip of Florida. The genus Rhaphidophora is not found naturally in North or South America but would then be a SE Asian equivalent with three Asian relatives including members of the genera Epipremnum, Amydrium, and Scindapsus. Postings can be found on the internet as well as in the offerings of internet plant sellers identifying this species as Amydrium tetrasperma, Amydrium 'Ginnie', Philodendron Ginnie, Philodendron imbe Ginny, and Epipremnum Ginny. All are scientifically incorrect. The use of single quotes implies a registered cultivar which also appears to be incorrect. Numerous discussions have been held on aroid forums regarding some of these names, and they are still commonly used on sites such as eBay. A variegated form is commonly available but the variegation is not natural in this species and is reported to have been induced by a chemical process during the tissue culture process. (see photo, below) Growers have reported the variegations vanishes as the plant grows since the chemicals eventually wear off. Tissue culture (known as TC) is the asexual propagation of fragments of a suitable parent plant in order to produce identical clones of it in large quantity. In the cells of the parent are grown in a laboratory in nutrient solutions until they form a mass of tissue. These tissues then get different chemicals to induce roots and leaves. Once developed the tiny plants are transplanted into a potting medium and finally grown by the commercial plant growing industry. On several of the popular garden websites plant collectors repeatedly refer to R. tetrasperma as a miniature form, or mini Monstera deliciosa while others continue to insist it is a form of Epipremnum. This note from expert aroid grower Michael Mattlage appears to sum up the correct conclusion, I know there was some debate a while back on whether the plant labeled Amydrium, Philodendron, etc. etc. 'Ginny' was either a form of the variable Epipremnum pinnatum or Rhaphidophora tetrasperma. The experts finally agreed with the later. As indicated by Michael, the species does also appear similar to the adult form of Epipremnum pinnatum, but is only a related species. Rhaphidophora tetrasperma is
