“*Is it possible that the common garden plant is Stictocardia beraviensis (Vatke) Hallier f. and the subject plant is rare and wild on west coast? *Regards, Shrikant" ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shrikant Ingalhalikar <le...@rediffmail.com> Date: 17 November 2011 15:58 Subject: [efloraindia:95224] Stictocardia tiliifolia (Desr.) Hallier f. To: indiantreepix <indiantreepix@googlegroups.com> Dear All, I know this plant as an ornamental woody climber with large orbicular leaves and large funnel shaped reddish orange flowers. This is also known as Ipomoea Candyking may be because of its origin? in Srilanka. The BSI flora of Maharashtra describes this as common on sandy soil in tidal areas along sea-shores from Mumbai to Sindhudurg. I have not seen this plant during several years of exploration along sea-shore. Can any member comment on its occurence in Maharashtra as a wild plant?
