 Wish we have one episode on Mushrooms- the colorful litte umbrellas that
 dot our forest paths during  monsoon. Guess we have enough photographers who
 would be delighted to  showcase as many/best of the little known kingdom. We
 have with us our Mycologists - Inderjeet ji, Sathish Chili ji and Tanay ji
 and others who can assist us in identification, confirmations and insights.
 Together we can explore the many facets of the mushrooms-  the edible one's,
  toxic or the toadstool, fairy  the bio luminance types ..., medicinal
 importance, life cycle, tribal knowledge, ethnic botany-.. so on and so
 forth.   Please do consider in accordance with the group convenience, scope,
 norms and time.

 Dear friends
 After the great success Malvaceae Week, and previous episodes let us plan
 for the future.

 Next episode in October will cover Rosaceae. In this family leaf type,
 number of leaflets in compound leaves, the presence and size of hypanthium,
 number of stamens and carpels and type and size of fruits is crucial in
 species determination. Members are requested to keep this in mind while
 photographing members of this family. My frequent advice: One photograph of
 habit with leaves and inflorescence in focus, one sidewat close up of flower
 and one top close up of flower bring out most of these features. Photograph
 of fruit is always a bonus. I would like any member to volunteer for
 coordinating this episode.

 I was also thinking about having one episode on Spices and Condiments,
 that should focus the great variability of spices used in different parts of
 India. I wish a coordinator from South-West  India (where we find a lot of
 spices), or a lady member (who have more interest in spices) to volunteer to
 coordinate. We will fix the month accordingly. We would also like to focus
 Fabaceae, possibly in two episodes (one covering Faboideae and another
 covering Caesalpinioideae and Mimosoideae), Asteraceae (perhaps in three
 episodes (discoid heads, ligulate heads and radiate heads), Brassicaceae,
 Myrtaceae, Bignoniaceae, etc. Members may suggest more and volunteer for
 coordinating inj the month of their choice.

 Information on episodes already covered is provided on the website:

In the photographs it is not very clear, but if interpetiolar stipules are
there then undoubtedly it is a Rubiaceae member. Otherwise possibility of
Wrightia/Holarrhena (Apocynaceae) can not be ruled out.

Some earlier relevant feedback:

“Raman ji:
NO this is not TAGAR... a very popular bush with white flowers in Calcutta
gardens and streets, and almost all over the world ,
gardeners love it in warm climates or for green houses, Tabernaemontana
Divaricata does not have such large prominent
green calyx as in your picture

This is *reminiscent of some wrightia*, they often have white flowers and
prominent green calyx..

lets see what experienced folks think
Usha di”

“For me *looks like Gardenia sp.* of family Rubiaceae (coffee family)

Regards
Ninad”

“Hello,
It look like some Tabernaemontana species (or may be hybrid) in Family
Apocynaceae..

It *definately dont look like any Gardenia sp. or Family Rubiaceae*..--
- H.S.”

Come to think of it
I have seen this flower and plant.. short shrub in the gardens of a Jain
temple in Bihar, a few years ago in APril, was quite hot by
then...flower fragrant when it opens and stays fragrant for a couple of
hours in the am did not have a camera with me... but the
intrigue has stayed with me... mostly for the semblance to tagar but not
quite tagar...
the slightly undulating edges of the leaves and its size etc ... and the
green corollla more prominent than
Tabernamontana divaricata ...*makes me think it might be one of
the Stemmadenia as in Stemmadenia litoralis*

let see what the elders think
