We have talked about this before..  Epiphyllum oxypetalum

Its one of the Night blooming cereus...(there are several)
I had a cutting or two once from Swami Rama of the Himalayas...
he had several growing near his kutir in Honesdale, PA.
we used to wait (some more dedicated students were more diligent than
I  )
for the flower  to bloom at night...
>From tiny cuttings I grew several plants, and inside the apartment
I got them to bloom a few times..
unfortunately no bats flew by to pollinate them... no fruits!!!


Its fruits are called dragon fruit... a delicacy in Thailand...
and now a days its served here in Calcutta by some
enterprizing young chefs at five stars...

[efloraofindia:76445] Re: Succulent for ID : 080811 : AK-2

2011-08-08 Thread Ushadi micromini

Dear FOLKS, you  are confusing me

It's  not saying much that its 100% Crassulaceae...
which is  a large family of diverse succulents...

Sedum group belongs to family  Crassulaceae...
so does a  group called Crassula...

and structurally the Crassula and Sedum share so
many features that a single photograph may not be enough for ID...
One needs (as I do as a NON-TAXONOMIST, NON- BOTANIST)
to observe the plant ... its growing habits, branching, leaf anatomy,
 branch/stem anatomy and nodes
flowers... size shape anatomy and seasons it flowers and how often

Sedums generally are ground hugging, almost always no more
 than 6 inches high, often trailing branches... often growing 10 to
12
inches or more long... I have grown some sedums where the trailing
branches grew 10 or 12 inches ..before flowering...

Crassulas (where Jade plants belong)  can be supine on delicate stems
or
 (mostly) erect on thickish stems...


SO AARTI JI: HAS TO WRITE UP THE HISTORY OF THIS PLANT...
 ha ha ... or observe it for a while...and take pictures over time...


AND NEIl ji's Anacampseros filamentosa.belongs to Portulacaceae..
so it would be beneficial for Aartiji to see what kind of flower
develops...

UNTILL THEN... I WOULD WAIT FOR SOME ONE SPECIALIZING
IN THE TAXONOMY OF SUCCULENTS and CACTI

Thanks
Usha di

Dear Srikant ji,

Thank you very much for the information and encouraging comment.

I will recheck the same when I get live specimen.
Unfortunately we were not allowed to collect specimens during the
field visit. I had gone with IISc team who had permission only to
collect amphibians and reptiles, hence I don't have specimen with me.

>From my field notebook I recollect that the flowers were around 1cm
(max 1.5cm no precise measurement is available) - long.

When I rerun the key, I could learnt that H. obtusatus branchlets
inflorescence and/or sometimes leaves more or less furfuraceous (Made
of or covered with scaly particles, such as dandruff) and leaf base is
rounded/acute/auricled whereas, in my specimen leaves, branchlets and
inflorescence were glabrous as mentioned in the key provided by Gamble
(described as L wallichiana) and the leaf base was narrowed at the
base.

I had experimented and experienced a variation in flower length of
flowers of Dendrophthoe falcata and D nilgirica from populations from
KMTR (Tirunelveli) and the Nilgiries (Priya Davidars JBNHS paper). I
had presented this work in the 5th International Canopy conference
held in Bangalore in 2009.


Thanks and Regards
Giby

Nice picture Giby, but pls check flower size. I think this to be H.
obtusata. Flowers appear to be about 2 cm long and with narrow long
lobes. H. wallichiana flowers are just 5-6 mm long with short lobes.

but even after that they didn't dry up...after removal of their hard

सृष्टीचे मित्र आम्ही मित्र अंकुराचे, ओठावर झेलुया थेंब पावसाचे..

या निसर्गानं लळा लावला असा असा की,
सुखदु:खाला परस्परांशी हसलो- रडलो.
आता तर हा जीवच अवघा, असा जखडला
मी त्याच्या हिरव्या बोलीचा शब्द जाहलो.
