Best wishes for trip Balkar ji and other members of the trip. Wish I was in
Delhi to join you. In the mean time I am able to click many plants which I
missed in earlier trips. However, I am still late for most flowering trees
especially Salix, Populus, Prunus, Pyrus, Malus as also Narcissus, Tulip,
and some other bulbous plants which have already finished flowering.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.

Some earlier relevant feedback:
“Please *check with Tiliacora acuminata*. It is a common climber along the
field hedges and roadsides. Is it commonly available in West Benagal?
With Regards
K.N. Reddy”
"Thank you very much Sir for the ID suggestion.
This plant is very common in West Bengal and, as you have mentioned, a
common climber in hedges and roadsides. But i think i would have to wait
until i capture fruit images of this plant so that i could compare it with
those available in the internet.

Re: [efloraofindia:116568] Eremurus himalaicus from Srinagar, Kashmir

[Gurcharan Singh]

Fortunately not, Ushadi
plants like Fritillaria imperialis, Eremurus himalaicus, Tulipa stellata,
which do so well in their hilly habitats tend to lose their vigour in
city's polluted environment, and may not multiply that much. Many also turn
vegetative and rarely flower. I have only one in flower out of more than
plants, and that two has single scape emerging from the tuft of leaves.

Re: [efloraofindia:116573] Re: Rutaceae Week : Murraya paniculata

[Gurcharan Singh]

I think most Rutaceae members, including Citrus sp. have glands, though all
immersed glands may not be transparent (pellucid).

[efloraofindia:116575] Re: Wrightia tinctoria

[Samir Mehta]

This is Wrightia pubescens.

Please refer to Vijaysankar ji's observations above (corona longer than 
anthers) and the leaves are also pubescent but this characteristic is not 
well seen in these images.

Vijaysankar ji, we have W. pubescens in Mahaharashtra.

Samir Mehta

Usha Di,

Dhaniakhali is about 25 km NW to my place and i don't know the person who
grows these flowers. My colleague Arnab Bandyopadhyay gave me the news and
i made a visit there after my school.

There was a signboard showing contact number of the person, i didn't record
it, but if you need it please drop me a line and i will obtain the same
within a week.

Regards,

surajit

Re: [efloraofindia:116602] Tree for Id-130512- NS2

[Neha Singh]

Yes Tanay sirmy guess too.
But I hv no idea abt species.

Re: [efloraofindia:116603] Re: long climber ID from Hooghly 22-04-12 SK-2

[surajit koley]

Sir,

Thank you very much for making this post resurface, as always you do,
taking care of everything.

I kept this in my mind and searched extensively if i could get any fruit
pic of this plant. What i observed for the past one month :

1) It is very common roadside liana, spreads rapidly, climbs any tree it
finds in its vicinity and covers the entire canopy of its host tree,
however big the host is.

2) It runs along the ground, often spreading parallel shoots, when there is
no tree nearby.

3) No fruits visible that resembles *Pachygone ovata* -
http://keys.trin.org.au:8080/key-server/data/0e0f0504-0103-430d-8004-060d07080d04/media/Html/taxon/Pachygone_ovata.htm

4) I didn't find any fruit to compare it with *Tiliacora acuminata* -
http://cfrmcc.yolasite.com/resources/300ar.gif


I am grateful to Muthu Ji, Vijayasankar Ji and Reddy Ji for giving me the
leads for this liana. After doing some search in the net it appears to me
that it could be some other species of *Tiliacora*, maybe *Tiliacora
racemosa* as in -

a) http://www.iiim.res.in/herbarium/menispermaceae/tiliacora_racemosa.htm

b)  http://ph.ansp.org/get_image.php?barcode=6399

3) http://www.herbimi.info/herbimi/results.htm?l4code=IND-WB&page=3

Thanks Samir ji for the responses.
Even though the leaves in the posted pictures are resembling that of
Wrightia pubescens, the corollary corona as well as the petals are somewhat
(rather clearly) differ from the ones in the following links. And I don't
think it can be a variation:

[efloraofindia:116614] Rutaceae - Citrus week beginning of conclusions

[OZmic]

Dear all,
I must say that I have been impressed by the amount of info that has 
filtered to me "down under" (cute image actually). Not all of it yet - I 
have to get through 200 more enties.
Please accept my apologies, I have been off line a proportion of the time, 
as I had hinted to Dr Singh last week.
I will start today or tomorrow to summarize the name-related matters, 
adding my accumulated data, and will post each topic over the next few 
days, hoping more feedback from the keenest among you.
I leave it to Dr Gurcharan Singh to officially close the "week" with his 
usual pearls of wisdom.
A huge thank you to all for the great motivation that this forum generates.

[ushadi Micromini]

Bimal da: what a nice card for all the mothers and mothering instincts of
the world...
even Fathers can be good mothers when need arises... and so can rest of the
family
love the card
and bless the humen heart  that allows the mothering instincts in those
that are not "mothers" by nature.

Re: [efloraofindia:116620] Rutaceae week: wild Aegle ??? from Hooghly 12-05-12 SK

[surajit koley]

Good morning Usha Di...

I am very happy to learn that it is an important medicinal plant and the
Bengali name is very beautiful.

And for the wrong ID, Usha Di, i am not sorry for making mistakes, i do
mistakes more than i do a correct one, it is the learning process But i
could have done away with prefixing it with 'Rutaceae week'. i was so
sure of it being a Bael, even the resin/gum around the seeds looked like so
much of Bael / Koyet-Bel :)

Regards,

surajit
