Balkar ji
Differences between Madhuca and Terminalia chebula whose leaves can be confused 
are well illustrated in Pradip Kishan in Trees of Delhi. My book is in Delhi, 
if you have it handy, it will help you a lot. The primary difference is number 
of lateral veins.

May Be Sir but the person from that herbal garden were saying that it is Harad

I have heard of leaves of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis being used for
rubbing down wood to get a fine finish. The leaves of this plant are
indeed quite rough.

Hello,

I agree with Dr. Pankaj Kumar, this plant is not any Terminalia but it is
not Asana either as the leaves of Asana appears to be a bit dull and
broader. Still i might be not correct.

L. indica is usually a shrub less than 4 m tall, whereas L. speciosa is a
tree up to 8 m tall; leaves of former are almost sessile (petiole barely 0.5
mm), shorter rarely exceeding 7 cm whereas in latter petiole is 5-9 mm long
and leaves 8-17 cm long; Hypanthium in former is 4-7 mm long not ribbed, in
latter 8-10 mm long and 12-ribbed.; calyx erect in fruit in former,
spreading in latter; petals are hardly 16-25 mm long in former, 32-35 mm
long in latter; capsule 10-12 mm in diam in former, 17-20 mm in latter.

[efloraofindia:76889] Re: Wild Flower for ID - 110811 - RK

[Ushadi micromini]

This is a group that is very sincere and has experts who go out of
their way to help botanists, taxonomists and non-botanist, non-
scientists alike without any demur...   I love it..

and hence it bothers me that some members take it for granted that no
matter how little they send, they are bound to get  an id ... so why
bother?



Yes, I think its carelessness or thinking that this is magic where no
matter what one sends, how little one sends, there will be experts who
will identify... so why bother may be we should have a rule ...
that no details ... no diagnosis... its  not like its the emergency
room where if we don't do any diagnosis a patient may loose life or
limb...   may be we need stricter rules?

Such submission also makes a mockery of group's rules, that you and
Mr. Garg send out so repeatedly...

It makes a mockery of efforts of those sincere folks who spend time
and effort... of  those of us who spend  a great deal of time to
submit the formatted info and good  sharp pictures with flower, leaf
(front and back if possible), size ...verbal or measure- tape in
picture along with flower or fruit,  stem, bark, tree or shrub or herb
as a whole whenever possible, and I even take pictures of surrounding
habitat if the specimen is wild and not planted in a planned garden or
forest...

[Gurcharan Singh]

Ushadi

I can really understand your love for the group, and concern that members
(especially new ones) become more disciplined and provide information as per
the format. Although it is often difficult to resist the temptation of
providing Id if you know the name, but perhaps the things will improve if
experts tell the concerned member to provide details before (or at least
after) identification. This only will compel members (who as you wrote who
take things for granted) to provide necessary details.

Yes Balkar ji
You have got the perfect series. Let us now think what the other plant is
which at least three members thought M. dioica but I considered Cucumis
sativus. I will activate that thread again.

[efloraofindia:76914] Re: Unidentified tree - Anshi NP

[Mahadeswara]

Based on the photograph of the trunk  it is generally not possible to
identify the taxa.   One should always send the closeups of foliage,
flowers, fruits (whatever available) and details of the plant for ID.
You may also follow the guidelines of eflora while posting the plants
for ID.

[efloraofindia:76918] Re: Unidentified tree - Anshi NP

[Smilax004]

It is surely not Dipterocarpus but my wild guess for stands for
Diospyros sp.

But, as Mahadeswara Ji pointed out, guessing from such pictures would
not be correct and mostly mislead hence please upload pictures that
has details such as twigs with leaves, flowers, fruits etc.

please search for leaves on the ground beneath the tree. Compare the
leaves that is on the ground with the one on the tree by using a
binocular or taking a zoomed picture (further zooming will help you id
the correct leaf that you could collect from the ground).

[efloraofindia:76921] Re: Plant for identification 130811MK01

[Mahadeswara]

Roots of  Boerhavia diffusa of Nictaginaceae,commonly known as
punarnava in Sanskrit, an important medicinal plant in ayurveda and
unani. The plant has medicinal properties especially roots which
are used to treat gonorrhea, all internal inflammation and edema.
Roots stimulate the emptying of the gallbladder, as a diuretic, for
all types of liver disorders (including jaundice and hepatitis),
gallbladder pain and stones, urinary tract disorders, renal disorders,
kidney stones, cystitis, and nephritis.
This is a wild / common weed.  In fact plenty are growing around my
house in Mysore.

[efloraofindia:76923] Re: Strangler fig - Dandeli WLS

[Smilax004]

More than 23 species of Ficus has been recorded from the Western
Ghats. Most of them start their life as straggler because the get
dispersed by birds and germinate on the branches of trees.

Unless you get the close up of at least the leaves with petiole where
you can clearly see the venation, characteristics of fig is also
important to confirm the species. Sometimes you need the fig in hand
and dissect to see characters hidden inside the fig.

[efloraofindia:76931] Re: Higher Chamba - id al110811a

[Alok]

Thank you sir,
The spiny leaves were not a part of this observation... they just
happened to be growing there... the relevance was for the flowers and
the fruits and in the third photo the leaves of what you called
Phytolacca acinosawith...

Sorry for not acknowledging this earlier... it seems that sometimes
the messages do not appear in my e-mails.. but are only on the
forum

Alok

[efloraofindia:76935] Re: Flora of Panipat: Cyamopsis tetragonolobus from a kitchen Garden Panipat haryana

[Ushadi micromini]

AN important vegetable for Rajasthan Gujarat and other western
states...
And Guar gum is very popular as thickening agent in cooked packed food
industry
and ice cream industree esp where caragenean may not be allowed ...

only problem is it has a lectin that does not suit blood group B gut
epithelium and red cells especially...


Thanks Balkar ji, I had never seen its flowers...

now will you be able to go back and follow up with the fruits later...

[efloraofindia:76939] Re: Chamba higher reaches - id al110811

[Alok]

Dear Ushadi,
Thanks to Gurcharan ji for solving my confusion actually This
plant is growing all around in Kalatope too at an altitude of 2100 mts
too... the difference in inflorescence and the color of leaves kind of
fazed me...

Actually at the place where I found it (at 3000mts) this was the only
plant of this species I found... so I guess it might have some problem
propagating around there... maybe due to cold or whatever reason...
but as for pollination .. it should not be the problem since there are
a lot of butterflies and bees which I noticed there on the flowers..
And soon you'll see the sample of all the flowers I found at even
higher altitudes (at 14000 feet) :)
regards
Alok

[efloraofindia:76950] Re: Flora of Panipat: Hibiscus schizopetalus from Arya PG College Campus Panipat Haryana

[Smilax004]

A very useful natural shampoo as well. All parts of this plant can be
used as shampoo.
It helps the hair from premature and uncontrolled fall and it enhances
the hair growth. It helps for sound sleep as well.

What to do is that make a paste out of the plant parts (preferably
leaf, flower and bark). Apply it 30 before bath. Timing is according
to the health of the person. For instance, if a person is suffering
from cough and "vata" related ailments, he/she is not suppose to apply
it for long time.

Re: [efloraofindia:76952] Tinospora cordifolia from Lohari Panipat-flowers

[Pankaj Kumar]

'auct. non' means not of the author. Literally meaning, not of the
original author but the plant was designated as Tinospora cordifolia.

So in a layman's word
Tinospora cordifolia is the original plant
Tinospora cordifolia auct. non is named as such but is not of the same
author as above and is a different species which has been named as
Tinospora malabarica.

Tinospora malabarica is now Tinospora sinensis by the way.

I too think,as Vijaysankar pointed out, that this is Archidendron
monadelphum of Leguminosae family.

The new name of this plant according to the plant list (http://
www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/ild-32297) is Archidendron bigeminum
(L.) I.C.Nielsen.

The pod and the leaflets are not that of Entada rheedii.

I too would like to encourage you to give supportive information
regarding the plants whenever you post pictures for id in the
prescribed format of our group, as Manudev pointed out.
My guess for the given pictures stands for species of Chionanthus of
Oleaceae family.
If you can provide information on flowers it would be easy to reach
species.

[efloraofindia:76960] Re: Does this variety fruit?

[Smilax004]

My understanding from the question is whether the plant/species
produces fruit?
If this is the question my answer is that it differs from place to
place.
Studies on the pollination biology of this plant (not sure about the
species) is going on in Karnataka.
It is found that in some places there is no fruit set at all. No clue,
so far, why it is so.
If it is (this species/variety) a recent introduction to any new place
it takes sometime to start producing fruits as these plants need
specific pollinators to effect pollination.

Giby

Chakrata is situated between Tons and Yamuna rivers at an elevation of

perfect habitat for butterflies and other insects. The elevation, the
forest and almost pesticide free region makes it a special place for
butterflies in Northern India.

Butterflies of Chakrata – More than 150 species of butterflies are
recorded from Chakrata region. On our last visit to Chakrata Wall,
Argus, Copper and Common Punch butterflies were found in abundance.
Roadside plants of Nettles are always the hot spot to look for
Caterpillars and Pupae of Indian Red Admiral.

registration details and tentative schedule of the meet is at

Yes Alok ji
We often get leaves of other plants in the focus, and ignore them. I
mentioned Cirsium because mail before me (Diversity of India) had mentioned
about spiny leaves from Asteraceae.

Re: [efloraofindia:76977] Re: Does this variety fruit?

[mani nair]

I have seen this type of passionflower in a nursery and did not see
any fruits.  Only flower. The nursery lady told me that it is grown
from cutting and  it will take at least two years for the new planted
one to flower.

Mani.

[Ushadi micromini]

Love this... esp the fruits
so august is when one can get both seeds and flowers coexisting...ie
middle of season for the plant

MY QUESTION, Dr SINGH :
DOES this Angelica have the telltele swollen base of the new leaf
formation
(I donot know what the technical term id for it)
like the one  I had shown for the Korean angelica ... I have seen the
same formation in the Angelica archeangelica, the usual western/north
american grown angelica...

Re: [efloraofindia:76979] Re: Does this variety fruit?

[Marianne de Nazareth]

This was flowering profusely for a whole year, but not a single fruit. The
regular purple passion flower gives lots of fruit tho in Bangalore.

[efloraofindia:76981] Re: identification no 120811sn1

[Ushadi micromini]

I have been following this thread from the minute it appeared... I see
many KAKROL plants in rural bengal as we drive by... and sometimes
stop... to look... this did not at first glance look like Kakrol (M
dioica)  we see here
AND I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE DOUBTING>>>MAKES ME FEEL GOOD THAT my
doubts (although arising out if technical ignorance)  were well
founded... See Dr. Gurucharan Singh ji's comments...

 This what I have learnt from this thread

1) Photography and presentation of the question:

For any unknown cucurbitacaee it is important to not just get good
shots of the face of flowers and leaves (front and Back) but measure
the flowers across...
and if possible ( like it was here, since the maker is holding the
flower...) take a profile view of the flower... this is esp so in case
of separate male and female flowers...   or plant itself being one or
the other sex...  ands so that the length of the flower tube, abd
pedicle etc is visible and be judged...

2) Not to start agreeing with one or two or three well known botanist
(s) ...  until an exacting taxonomist studies it...

Curucumis sativus... the ordinary cucumber is miles apart in terms of
fruits' anatomy and medicinal values  from Mamordica dioica
SO we learnt a valuable lesson today...
Thanks Gurucharanji...

Re: [efloraofindia:76982] Re: Angelica glauca from Kashmir

[Gurcharan Singh]

Ushadi
This swollen leaf-sheath, a feature of the family Apiaceae, becomes more
prominent in taller plants like Angelica, Heracleum, Ferula etc, and looks
more swollen in the subtending leaf  especially when inflorescence is about
to emerge. The shortened leaf below the inflorescence would generally have a
prominent leaf sheath, in comparison to leaf blade.

Re: [efloraofindia:76987] Re: efloraofindia 786543 Passion flower creeper at PUNE

[Madhuri Raut]

Till today I was under the impression that Passion flower is only of blue
colour as I had seen only blue passion flower. But today I learned to my
surprise that it is also whitish and red in colour.  I have always wondered
why does the same flower have different colours other eg.  like Hibiscus,
Rose Any explanation?

I also want to share some interesting info I came across about Krishna
kamal/ Passion flower

So, long story behind the name Krishna Kamal. There are (apparently) a 100
of those blue petals - one for each of the Kauravas, and 5 of the green ones
in the centre - one for each of the Pandavas. The green bulb in the centre
symbolises the Pandava queen Draupadi, and the three filaments are for the
holy trinity of Brahma-Vishnu-Shiv. AND the white radial in the centre is
the Sudarshan chakra of Lord Krishna.

Re: [efloraofindia:76993] Cyperus difformis from Tikkar Tal Lake, Morni

Cyperus difformis and C. fuscus are two distinct species, recognised by all
prominent Floras
