Yes that is why I have only guessed it to be Wrightia sp. and have stated in my format it to be either a scandent shrub or a small tree. I would go more for a small tree because it is not taking support of nearby trees or shrubs, a scandent one like Ukshi or Carvanda generally takes support if trees are around! regards, Rashida.

When I was looking at the enlarged photos, my wife passed by. Her remarks were: Bada pyara phool hai. gulab hai? Picure no. 4 shows the leaves. I dont think jasmine has ever got serrated leaves. In India only one variety of rose is considered edible. that is called chaitia (as it flowers in March April). Pink and highly fragrant, used for making rosewater and gulkand. I remember when Gulkand was made at our place in good old days, the pollen used to be carefully removed. Pluck the petals, sift them and remove the pollens.

Hi There, There is no question of the plant being Wrightia tinctoria. As far as Wrightiia arborea is concerned, the young leaves are velvetty only. Theleaves do look like those belonging to a Combretaceae but as it was mentioned that the plant had abundant latex, so latex is present only in a few families rather genera.

[efloraofindia:40804] Re: Baobab
The issue of what actually Parijaat Tree is was never resolved. Here are the list of species which are being talked about. I personally own the stamp of Adansonia paintings on itbut that doesnt qualify it to be Parijaat tree.. Other qualifiers are: Cocos nucifera Ficus benghalensis Ficus relgiosa Nyctanthes arbor-tristis... and may be many more Adansonia digitata is the one which doesnt qualify at allWHY Just because it was introduced by Britishers and may be Portuguese which happened much later than the actual origin of the vedas where the first mention of Parijaat tree comes. One many of the ancient engraving which shows kalpavriksha or the Parijaat tree on rocks and caves in temples across many places in India and abroad, sometimes depicts a climber. Even if it does show a tree, it never shows a palmate leaf. I wish someone really does some sincere work on this and come out with good results. Regards Pankaj

Please try to follow good book for latin, it will be for your own good. In latin seed is called 'semine'.

[efloraofindia:40813] Re: Cyathea spinulosa Wall. ex Hook.
Dear all, I dont think we should unscrupulously follow the description of an Indian plant from anywhere else in the world, whether it is Pakistan, China or Taiwan. Just in the case of current link given by Mr. Tanay, trunk of my plant was sometimes over 15cm in diameter though it never reached 6 meter but it was somewhere around 4m in height. My plant was not found in dark forest as you can see the area was so bright that I had even problems in taking pictures. To be specific the particular individuals in the pic were growing near a stream in a Pinus roxburghii forest. Rocky stream was almost dried up but may be some water was there in the rocky crevices. I hope people will take my comments in good spirits. Presence of spines on the stipes are the main feature to identify this Cyathea. Pankaj

Her remarks were: Bada pyara phool hai. gulab hai? Picure no. 4 shows the leaves. I dont think jasmine has ever got serrated leaves. In India only one variety of rose is considered edible. that is called chaitia (as it flowers in March April). Pink and highly fragrant, used for making rosewater and gulkand. I remember when Gulkand was made at our place in good old days, the pollen used to be carefully removed. Pluck the petals, sift them and remove the pollens. The correct ID of the flower you have can only be given by experts. Let us wait for them.

I have now some questions. What Jasmin I have in the foto? The shrub war there all the time, so I don't know exactly what it is. It has pleasent fragrance like mogra. Is it ok to put these flowers in the drinking water? If ok, then can one eat the flowers e.g. as decoration in the salad too? Are Jasmin / Mogra flowers in general edible? drinkable?

Thank you Ms. Rashida. I can surely understand your eagerness in learnung more about the plant. Keep it up!! Roystonea : monoecious, thick and smooth trunk with distinct mark of leaf bases, pinnate leaf. regia: there are only 11 species of Roystonea in the world so not difficult to differentiate it from the rest. Can be identified with a bit of swollen trunk just below the crown which is light grey in color, white flowers with pink anthers, drupes purple when ripe. Pankaj

[efloraofindia:40876] Re: Tamarindus indica L.
Just wanted to add one info. Many believe that the plant is originated in India as stated by Linnaeus too. But the plant is supposed to be originally from Tamarind Island. This generic and specific epithet is one of the few unique ones as both genus and species are based on name of a place. There are very few such examples other than this, like, India arunachalensis an Orchid. Nice pics BTW. Regards Pankaj
[efloraofindia:40877] Re: Idrequest - 29Jun2010AR02
I tend to agree with Giby as usual. This has to be some Piper. Regards Pankaj

[efloraofindia:40879] Re: Tinospora cordifolia fruits
Dear Sathish sir, Thanks for sharing. Can you please check the petiole, I thought it looks hairy. If it is then the plant can be Tinospora sinensis otherwise you are 100% correct. Sorry for cross checking.. Pankaj.

[efloraofindia:40881] Re: Garden plants-PO3
I think this is Pentas lanceolata (Rubiaceae). Pankaj
[efloraofindia:0] Re: Eulophia ochreata-260610-PKA3
Nice pics Dr. Prashant. Dungriyal sir shared a beautiful pic of the same plant last year it should be there somewhere among archives. Just to get a full view of the plant. I wish you had sent me some alcohol preserved flowers of this. Regards Pankaj
[efloraofindia:40883] Re: Garden plants-PO1
This is a common plant of Zephyranthes rosea I assume. Taken a harsh bath in rain it seems!!! Pankaj
Re: Fwd: [efloraofindia:40884] Idrequest - 24Jun10AR01

[efloraofindia:40887] Re: Dendrobium Amitabh Bachchan
Just for those who wish to now. You know when the whole world was busy extracting orchids from wild, especially when the Europeans used to travel all the way from Britain, France, etc. to come to India, just for collecting Orchids from forests and take them back to their gardens in Europe, there was one garden, which gave first hybrid orchid to the world and later the hybrid became one of the best sellers. The hybrid was produced in 1893 and it was named 'Vanda Miss Joaquim' which was a cross between V. hookeriana x V. teres. The best part is, it was not produced in Europe but in Singapore Botanic Gardens. This not only reduced the pressure from the wild populations but it also brought a new trend of Orchid hybridization. Regards Pankaj

[efloraofindia:40889] Re: Gymnema sylvestre ??-220610-PKA1
Try chewing a leaf and then eat some sugar. You will not feel the sweet taste of sugar. This will also confirm its identification. This is one of the medicinal properties of this plant and hence it is commonly called as Gurmar..ONE THAT KILLS SUGAR!!! Pankaj
[efloraofindia:40890] Re: Is it Dendrobium nobile?
Can you please check the orientation of the plant in wild. If it was pendulous (the orientation of flower suggests me that the condition in which it has been photographed is not the same as it was in wild) then it should be Dendrobium nobile var. pendulum Regards Pankaj

Nervillia aragoana for sure. Pankaj
[efloraofindia:40894] Re: Photo for Id 210610KK02
this is not Pineapple for sure. But if u look at history it is called Pine apple for the same reason that it resembles a pine cone. Before the discovery of this fruit, they used to call pine cone as pineapple only, but when fruit was discovered, they gave new term pine cone for the gymnospermous cones and started calling the other one as Pine apple.

[efloraofindia:40895] Re: Curcuma pseudomontana
I think I have slight doubts over this being pseudomontana. The bracts should have been green coloured I assume.Can this be Curcuma angustifolia? or may be some other one Pankaj
