Rasna is the correct name for Pluchea lanceolata and is published in The

of Health and Family Welfare, Govt of India. I agree with Dr. Pankaj that the 
same name is used for Vanda tesellata in various literature but don't agree 
with his statement big mistake. It can be observed in many cases that same 
plant is known locally by different names and vice versa. Hope this will clear

 Hi Dinesh,

 Your ID seems correct but on behalf of other members I would like to know
 how you arrived at this since the size of leaf, fig and sand paper like
 finish of the leaf is not mentioned though it could have been mentioned
 instead of 'as seen'. May we please point out at the format whenever key
 features are missing? Regards, Shrikant

 xx


 Am banking on my familiarity with this sand paper fig tree. May not be
 thorough familiarity, but these figs have a tell-tale yellow nipple ... and
 in any given angle, the tree has some of its figs showing them for sure. The
 arrangement of the figs too, is note-worthy ... they are not clustered, but
 aligned along the slender branches, usually in pairs, growing in all angles.
 Photo attached.

 The tree looks beautiful when fruiting, especially when devoid of leaves. A
 photo attached.

 Though the size of leaves is important, in this plant, the interesting
 feature is the rough texture of the leaves -- worth feeling and realizing !!
  in most of the languages , this tree is named for the abrasive nature
 of its leaves.


 Regards.

2010-07-22 Thread promila chaturvedi
The pest in the picture usually stays on shrubs and hibernate in unsuitable
weather conditions. In few years time it succeeds in killing the host. Mosty
it is carried by ants. It infested my hibiscus plant and other hibiscus
plant in the vicinity. Where ever there was sun these pests work hard and
took extra time to kill the plants, in my house where there is no sun four
months in a year the plant died faster. They infest other flowering shrubs
also, I did not notice any non-flowering shrub, so I cannot comment. The
other the biger member of the family Which is also known as mealy bug (as
told by Senior horticulturists of CPWD), have infested large trees on New
Delhi roads and hop from tree to tree, though the trees so far are in good
health. In few societis in Delhi it has infested Muchkund (Pterospermum
acerifolium) trees and starting entering the flats and in their ACs  and
every nook and corner. They are really a nasty pests.

 Dear Ms. Promila Chaturvedi Ji,
 Am  a lay person and have limited knowledge. The coffee board has come out
 with information with regards to practices to control mealy bugs. In the
 literature distributed from them, I find that mealy bugs are immobile
 sucking pests. I learnt that the best way to control the spread is to
 control the population of ants nests. I was made to understand that there is
 a symbiotic relationship between ants and mealy bugs. The ants move the
 nymphs of mealy bugs and place them in succulent areas of tender shoots.
 Once they are placed in the place, the nymph attaches itself to the
 succulent spot and starts sucking the sap.
 The ants benefit by the honeydew secreted by the mealy bugs and feed on it.
 I have never found any plant in my farm that has mealybugs and no ants. If
 however, you have any new information that contradicts it, am willing to
 study it with an open mind.
 Please guide me to any such link on the net.

 When there are mealy bugs, there should be plenty of ants. Moreover,
 mealy bugs appear in very dry areas and during summer. They can not 
 survive
 our monsoon. Even if there is slight moisture in the soil, they do not
 thrive. mealy bugs have a fleshy body this thing does not. Moreover the
 fluffy matter is flying about in the air. If it is mealy bugs it can not

When rippened they become black while in R.tetraphylla they turned red

   Hi Prashant, you have illustrated the leaves well but have not given
   the size of the leaves. (It should be more than 30 cm, young leaves
   may reach even 1.5 meters.) Look at the nerves at the margin. They
 are
   forked and both tips of the fork end in a tooth. The leaves are
   characteristic of Dillenia pentagyna. D. indica is doubtfully wild at
   Matheran. Leaves of D. indica would be smaller than 30 cm and nerves
   not forking at the margins. Flowering season for D. pentagyna is
   March, there are no fruits also. This is D. pentagyna which is native
   to Matheran. Regards, Shrikant

Leaves like bael reminds us Crataeva spp. (C. religiosa) ... but could not
find any of its names as patal.

There is *Stereospermum colais* ... commonly known as: yellow snake tree •
Bengali: পারুল parul • Gujarati: પાડેલી padeli • Hindi: पारल paral, पारोली
paroli, पाटल patal • Kannada: ಕಲಾದ್ರಿ kalaadri, ಪಾದರಿ paadari • Konkani: पाडल

punkali • Telugu: అంబువాసిని ambuvasini, కలిగొట్టు kaligottu, పాదిరి padiri,
పాటల patala • Urdu: پارل paral, پاٿل patal


However this *S. colais* does not have tri-foliate leaves like bael.

Re: [efloraofindia:42150] Re: Tamarindus indica L.

2010-07-22 Thread Gurcharan Singh
My source, well known book L. H. Bailey Manual of Cultivated Plants writes
that the generic name Tamarindus is derived from the Arabic Tamar-Hindi
meaning Indian Date. This is also confirmed by web information:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080313220541AA9Noxo
Persians and the Arabs who called it tamar hindi (Indian date, from the
date-like appearance of the dried pulp), giving rise to both its common and
generic names. Unfortunately, the specific name, indica, also perpetuates
the illusion of Indian origin. The fruit was well known to the ancient
Egyptians and to the Greeks in the 4th Century B.C.

http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/tamarind.html
Native to tropical Africa, the tree grows wild throughout the Sudan and was
so long ago introduced into and adopted in India that it has often been
reported as indigenous there also, and it was apparently from this Asiatic
country that it reached the Persians and the Arabs who called it *tamar
hindi *(Indian date, from the date-like appearance of the dried pulp),
giving rise to both its common and generic names. Unfortunately, the
specific name, *indica, *also perpetuates the illusion of Indian origin.
The fruit was well known to the ancient Egyptians and to the Greeks in the
4th Century B.C.

The source Tamarind Islands comes nowhere in picture.

 I am slightly confused. You are writing that  Dr. Almeida's flora has
 put S. colais (Buch. - Ham ex Dillw.) as the earlier name   for S.
 personatum (Hassk,) so logically former should be the correct name and not
 the latter that you have put in your subject line. According to GRIN also S.
 colais (Buch.-Ham. ex Dillw.) Mabb. is the correct name. There are two
 things to support it, firstly Mabberly has made his combination in 1978,
 whereas as Chatterjee made his in 1948, former is more recent. Secondly
 basionym Bignonia colais (1837) antedates Dipterosperma personatum Hassk.
 (1842), and hence if the two species are to be treated as synonyms, S.
 colais is preferred choice as correct name.

 There is one more species S. personatum ( Hassk.) Chatterjee var.

  Thanx to everybody.24 posts in 24 hrs.A really wonderful Google group.
   By the way one more difference in Neem and Persian lilac is the fruit
  shape.Neem fruits are little longish while persian lilac are round.
    And Azedarach is a Persian word meaning excellent tree

  Dear Shobaji,
  Is this one-seeded fruit?
  If the staminal column and petals are Lilac coloured, then it should be
  *Melia azedarach* L., a medium-sized introduced tree.

  Not Melia azadirachta (now Azadirachta indica, the Neem tree) which
  has unipinnate leaves, toothed leaflets and white flowers. This 
  should be
  Melia azedarach or M. dubia.
