Re: [efloraofindia:83378] Jasmine for ID : 250611 : AK-1

[ushadi Micromini]

Ok... I am thoroughly confused...

*1: *   what Ararti ji showed looks different from what Bhagyashri/Madhuri
showed...
*2:*too many names have been mentioned 

3: Mr. Bhatt: in first paragraph says , I quote : "It is J. multiflorum also
known as J. pubescens." end quote
AND in the second paragraph says : I quote : "  this looks like J. mabaricum
रान मोगरा"

some one please clarify:  sorry,
I  am most stupid when it comes to such confusing thread


I Would appreciate if someone would tell me what is in Arati ji's
picture
and what is in Bhagyashri/Madhuri ji's pictures,  clearly ..preferably in
that order



Thank you...
Usha di...

[Anand Kumar Bhatt]

It is J. multiflorum also known as J. pubescens. It is a shrub.Jasmine is
both shrub and creeper. Chameli is creeper, and motia is shrub, although I
have seen motia changing into a creeper.
Looking to the pink colour of the peduncle and the bud in Madhuriji's
photographs, this looks like J. mabaricum रान मोगरा

This is not R alpina

this being purpurea

Re: [efloraofindia:83360] Re: PUTRANJIVA ROXBURRGHII

[Anand Kumar Bhatt]

I dont know what and who spread the rumour in Delhi
(Lutyen's) that Putranjiva is highly allergic. In the old bungalows so many
trees had been cut I am told.  A number of trees when in flower become
allergenic (I hope it is the correct word!) especially the pollen part of
it.
I hope that the initial phobia of putranjiva has faded.  It is a beautiful
tree, shiny leaves, long life, shady.

[efloraofindia:83353] Re: Flora of Chakrata: Aconitum sp from Deovan Chakrata

[Ushadi micromini]

So if this is the indigenous himalyan Aconitum..
it is most likely

Vatsanabha or Halahal (as in Halahal vish) of Ayurved ...

is it?
or is the ayurvedic vatsanambha a different species?

[efloraofindia:83352] Fwd: IUCN Report: 16% of Western Ghats Freshwater species "Threatened with Extinction"

[J.M. Garg]

-- Forwarded message --
From: Sujith C

Subject: IUCN Report: 16% of Western Ghats Freshwater species "Threatened
with Extinction"

Hi All,

Many of you might have read this.. Hope such reports will have more impact
on policies than previous years!.

The IUCN official concludes that the report "..points to an urgent need for
environmental sustainability to be given higher priority in economic
development.”
http://www.iucn.org/knowledge/news/?8280/Collateral-damage-Western-Ghats-freshwater-species-in-peril


+++
 Some related info of conservation efforts was found at the CONSERVATION
INTERNATIONAL's Biodiversity Hotspots page on Western Ghats - info on the
Species, Threats and Projects:
http://www.conservation.org/where/priority_areas/hot
spots/asia-pacific/Western-Ghats-and-Sri-Lanka/Pages/default.aspx

Less than 15% of the Western Ghats is protected in 20 national parks and 68
sanctuaries. Considering IUCN categories I-IV, which offer a higher level of
protection, the figure drops to around 11percent, according to the World
Database on Protected Areas. Thus, the protected area network is far from
complete. One way of ensuring that the network of protected areas adequately
conserves biodiversity is through the identification and conservation of
“Key Biodiversity Areas” (KBAs). These are globally important sites for
biodiversity conservation, defined by the presence of irreplaceable and
threatened biodiversity: globally threatened species, restricted-range
species, and species that concentrate in globally significant numbers. KBAs
are biologically meaningful units that can be potentially managed for
conservation, defined in a bottom-up, data driven process.

The identification of KBAs in the Western Ghats was initiated in 2003,
coordinated locally by Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the
Environment (ATREE.org), and in collaboration with The Wildlife Conservation
Society-India (wcsindia.org) and the University of Agricultural Sciences in
Bangalore.
Building from preliminary data on Important Bird Areas, compiled by the
Bombay Natural History Society, data on globally threatened species of
mammals, birds, amphibians, plants, and to a lesser extent, reptiles and
fish, were synthesized to identify and delineate 126 KBAs in the Western
Ghats.



Regards,
Sujith

 its wonderful the way a child remembers stuff.

 WHeat could be mixed in with the weeds seeds and simultaneously  be

 there are many episodes of ergot poisoning in europe when the entire
 section  of population ate ergot infected rye bread.. rye is a type of 
 wheat
 in europe.
 so your neighbor of childhood may have it right that there was congress
 grass seeds and ergot... both.. could be...
 I wonder if anybody has looked into whether indians around that time had
 a higher incidence of leaky valve syndromes or other vascular disorders out

 incidences of  which have since subsided ... since the infected wheat is no
 longer consumed...

 we in India have the some of the strongest statisticians but the govt
 never looks into these kinds a data...   I have not seen any papers related

[Gurcharan Singh]

Alok ji
The two genera are very distinct. In that in Kalanchoe the flowers have a
long corolla tube completely enclosing the fruit and flowers are 4-merous.
In sedum the petals are free and usually 5-merous (4-merous is Rhodiola) but
fruits are visible from top.

Yes S. vulgaris is very distinct

http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Bladder%20Campion.html

S. edgeworthii is however much similar to S. setisperma (Lychnis inflata not
to ber confused with Silene inflata) which does not have fimbriate petals
although calyx looks similar with darker veins

Dear Tanay... jani...   but that research stayed at theta level.. while
ergotamine and cafergot have had a very practical legal usage in allopathic
medicine... that's why it stays up in memory and gets recalled first...
thanks..

Re: [efloraofindia:83289] Kalatope Hypercium id al240911

Hi Balkar Ji
I too think this is Hypericum elodeoides Choisy in Candolle, Prodr. 1: 551.
1824. (Syn: *Hypericum napaulense* Choisy)
Some plants can be bit taller than the descriptive plant after all genetics
plays the game.

[efloraofindia:83279] Re: Flora of Haryana: Argyreia nervosa from Herbal Garden Yamunanagar

[Ushadi micromini]

AN important ayurvedic herb  ...
was of immense value to the army also .. to stench bleeding in ancient
times..

Called vridhha daru or samudra sosh ..

I love the soft downy feel of the leaves...

used to grow abundantly  along southern coast in Bengal.. not seen so
commonly now a days though...

the seed pods are interesting looking too...

Balkar ji thanks for so many nice pictures...

[efloraofindia:83252] Re: efloraofindia:''For Id 24092011MR3’’ pretty white flowers ?congress grass Pune

[Ushadi micromini]

Bhagyashri: NOT ergot...
ergot is what paratizies winter wheat/rye... and some other
grasses..  and from which ergotamine/methergin  the uterine
contaction medicine is derived...  and Cafergot was being used when I
was an intern for migraine...now I dont know, stronger painkillers
seem to have replaced vasoactive substances.

We worry more about toxicity of ergot than the therapeutic
benefits

wiki has nice short essay with details and pictures ... at URL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergot
our old pharmacology texts used to show, as did the biochemistry
texts...

happy reading
