Respected Ushadiji, You have added so much to my knowledge of this beautiful delicate flower Parijatak. Some call it Prajakta some Parijatak What is the real name out of the two? And yes the fragrance of this flower is just divine. I have another wonderful memory associated with this tree.

[efloraofindia:77706] Re: efloraofindia : 20082011MR2 Query What is Bonsai
Yes you were given a perfect wrong answer. For Bonsai they never put chemicals to make it short. Its just the maintenance of roots and twigs to keep it within the limitation of nutrition in the pot. I remember once during my MSc exam I was asked, isnt making bonsai is like torturing plants? and my answer was no, its a means of ex-situ conservation of some important large as well as small plants. Japnese excelled it to decorate their gardens, but they excelled in maintaining some plants which we cant even work in ground.. To me its same as cutting a child's hair to make him look more civilized :). But trust me, if the world looses all its natural trees from its natural environment, then Bonsai is the only option when we can maintain them and see them.

Re: [efloraofindia:77717] Re: Chamba High.. al170811a
Balkar ji The first plant is closer to S. chrysanthemoides which shows a lot of variation. I have also photographed similar plant from Gulmarg, which I initially (but wrongly) thought S. jacquemontianus, but thanks to Alok ji. I have still to fix it, refraining to call it S. chrysanthemoides because heads are about 2.5 cm across, whereas they are scarcely exceeding 1.5 cm in S. chrysanthemoides The second plant clearly belongs to Ligularia section of former Senecio. I can;t count more than 8-10 ligules, so it can't be S. arnicoides (now Cremanthodium arnicoides) which has larger heads (often 6 cm across) and 15-30 ligules. Closest is S. jacquemontianus which has 12-15 ligules. In this genus and other side close up is very important, because involucre bracts number is crucial in species identification. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

Pholidota pallida and Pholidota imbricata are very much different from each other. The lateral sepals are connate at the base in Pholidota pallida. To me this is P. imbricata as in many of the closeups you can actually see them separate. Gibs, please, look at the flower on the lower right hand side of the stalk. Both lateral sepals are very much separate!! Even the bulbs are much elongated and glabrous in P. pallida.

It is a species of Erythrina of Leguminosae family. Erythrina variegata generally don't have leaves when flowering. They usually flower when all the leaves shed. This species seems to be a species of Erythrina that flowers in the monsoon (picture date 2nd August 2011) whereas E. varigata flowers in the summer. Please describe me about the nature of thorns on the plant; whether they are all over the tree including trunk, branches and branch-lets or otherwise. Regards Giby On Aug 19, 3:57 pm, Mohan V.

My plant from Dehradun.
Yes this plant is amazing.
Earlier my casual believe was the plant has glandular hairs to repel
insects as it also has a strange odour. But my experiments with the
plant proved that there was something more. It had this ability to
make the insects feel dizzy or something not normal happened to the
insects I used. I had no means to prove what!! I believed that there
was something which attracted insects to the plants. Apart from being
attracted, the same gland were used for digestion of the insects too,
usually very small sized ones.
Today Vijay made me happy to realise that my thoughts were not absurd :p.
Usually, the carnivorous plants attract insects and trap them. Sundew
has similar droplets on the hairs, but that is sticky and is not
actually containing any food for insects. But this plant attracts and
then lures them with actual food on the droplets and then traps them
or kills them or makes them immobile. So in that case, this should be
a new type of trapping for carnivorous plant.
But yes, I had not seen this reference before. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Its very intriguing that genes play such a role that facilitates the opening of flower at night on an upright condition. And then there are bats which will come to this plant due to its smell. Flowers are oriented as sch that bats can sit on it but after pollination these petals fall off!! Then the fruits emerge and grow downwards so that they dont hamper the visit of flying bats which visit other flowers on the stalk!! http://journals.cambridge.org/download.php?file=%2FTRO%2FTRO25_01%2FS0266467408005634a.pdfcode=975cfd84400b7eb76798fcc5c0bfb3b2 No one can ever replicate how these plants and animals adapt in nature.

Its a very basic paper hope you wont dislike it. I had a small garden with huge collection of wild as well as ornamental plants which I started making since my 4-5th standard. You would be surprised to know that my first bonsai I started making was in 7th standard and it stayed with me till I came to Dehradun, but somehow due to negligence the root got infected by something and the plant died from base. One of my passion during those days was to collect climbers, Passiflora and Vitaceae just to name a few. Now that we shifted to new rented house and I hadnt been home since past 6 years, till recently, many of my plants couldnt survive, but still there are many.

Earlier my casual believe was the plant has glandular hairs to repel insects as it also has a strange odour. But my experiments with the plant proved that there was something more. It had this ability to make the insects feel dizzy or something not normal happened to the insects I used. I had no means to prove what!! I believed that there was something which attracted insects to the plants. Apart from being attracted, the same gland were used for digestion of the insects too, usually very small sized ones. Today Vijay made me happy to realise that my thoughts were not absurd :p. Usually, the carnivorous plants attract insects and trap them. Sundew has similar droplets on the hairs, but that is sticky and is not actually containing any food for insects. But this plant attracts and then lures them with actual food on the droplets and then traps them or kills them or makes them immobile. So in that case, this should be a new type of trapping for carnivorous plant. But yes, I had not seen this reference before. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Do they smell of saffron in this condition? Yes there are many things which we want but we dont get it. I searched for Annona squamosa today in all the markets of Dehradun with one of the members of this group Ninad Raut, but couldnt find any :(( I remember during this season at home, I would just speak up at home, MUMMY, I WANT TO EAT SHAREEFA (mummy shareefa khana hai!!) and my dad would get 2-3 kgs of it by lunch!!!

Pankaj.. good idea to search ..particular cells only would be
expressing the proteins required to signal the growth...
the link above redirects page and then says File not available.

Its very intriguing that genes play such a role that facilitates the
opening of flower at night on an upright condition. And then there are
bats which will come to this plant due to its smell. Flowers are
oriented as sch that bats can sit on it but after pollination these
petals fall off!! Then the fruits emerge and grow downwards so that
they dont hamper the visit of flying bats which visit other flowers on
the stalk!!

No one can ever replicate how these plants and animals adapt in
nature.
ITS AMAZING...
