Re: [efloraofindia:118107] Re: long climber ID from Hooghly 22-04-12 SK-2

[surajit koley]

Dr Reddy Sir,

Thank you very much for confirming the species. The day before yesterday i
came to know that some local people call it LAVANGA-LATA (lavanga = clove;
lata = climber/twiner/creeper) in Bengali. This is, however, i think due to
blackish dry male flowers of this plant. But, unlike the plant this name
(LAVANGA-LATA) is not common.

Garg Sir,

Thank you very much for taking care of this plant

With regards,

Surajit Koley

Re: [efloraofindia:118110] Re: efloraofindia:''For Id 29052012MR2’’ 4 pollinators foraging Ocimum tenuiflorum at Pune

[Bhagyashri]

Many Thanks Pankaj ji for this very interesting information. Very kind of
you to provide the link to the video. The computer animated clip was really
amazing. As you rightly said none of these look to be pollinators. I should
rather call them visitors. Infact few days back I have noticed 3 different
bees(I do not know their names) visiting Acalypha wilkesiana forma
circinata leaves and not the flowers at all. I have been wondering about
the purpose of these visitors as they were very quietly sitting on the
leaves for long hours without moving or flying as if glued to the leaves.
Now I know they are obviously looking for something else other than the
nectar But what?. I will be posting this separately.
Because you provided the link to the video I could see many other wonderful
videos esp the Orchids. You are very fortunate to be working with the
"Queen of flowers"  (I learned this from the videos I did not know it
earlier). And yes I am fortunate too because I am part of a group which has
eminent experts like you.
with best wishes

'pdf' file ,
available from -
http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=600&taxon_id=119663, there are
about 32 species in this genus. But almost all flowers picture are
available for *Maranta arundinacea*. However, two close match -

This is Kaemapferia pulchra... a relative of ginger...
this plant grows close to ground, leaves lying almost flat on the ground,
and flowers are on very short pedicle... and almost hidden... 4 petals if I
remember correctly...

Maranta is the prayer plant.. flowers rarely and they are on spikes rising
away from the center of the plant...  very different

[surajit koley]

Usha Di,

Tried more than an hour and a half to understand the differences in the
between the inflorescence in my images and that of by Raman Ji -
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/7A_UpJYNQJ8
.

But failed to find any between
https://indiantreepix.googlegroups.com/attach/fe10b73887ec93ac/DSCN4523.jpg?view=1&part=4
(mine)
and
https://indiantreepix.googlegroups.com/attach/7392e48b80f8af45/Spiny+Fiddlewood+Tree+-+Flower.jpg?view=1&part=4
(Raman
Ji).

However, pasting some links for the sake of keeping records, or in other
words for the sake of time and money spent ! -

Re: [efloraofindia:118168] Re: Books on Indian Trees & Plants

[JANAKI TURAGA]

Gargji
here are 5 more additions to the list, each book is followed by few lines
which describes the book:
1: Medicinal Plants: Dr. S.K.Jain. National Book Trust of India, New Delhi.
The book lists 84 plants including trees with medicinal properties commonly
used, with their latin and indian names, description, distribution, and
drug and properties. Must have book and especially useful for this group.
Published in 1968, the book has undergone many many reprints attesting to
its continued usefulness and popularity. Few colour and black and white
photographs.

2. Field Guid to the Common Trees of India: PV Bole and Yogini
Vaghani.World Wide Fund For Nature India and Oxford University Press New
Delhi. Published in 1986, this little book with line drawing illustrations
for every tree(there are approximately 100), gives brief description and
identification information. The authors give a key to identification of the
trees which is necessary for identification. One of the early books on
trees for the layman which leans towards more on the botanist side, than on
the layman side. But this is not the issue with this book per se, but the
issue with guides on nature as such-trees which are faced with the issue of
balance of how to make a layman friendly guide without losing the
scientific base.

3. Tree Directory of Chandigarh: RK Kohli, KS Arya, HP Singh, HS
Dhillon.Lovedale Educational Publishers, New Delhi, 1994. A wonderful and
insightful book on trees of Chandigarh which gives the layout of the city
of Chandigarh with its avenue trees, both of which were planned. Maps and
many colour photographs. One of the few books on trees of a city in India.

4. Birds and Trees of Tolly: Kushal Mookherjee. Tollygunge Club, Calcutta,
now Kolkota, 1995. A lovely little book brought out by the Tollygunge Club,
Calcutta, with numerous colour photogrhaphs and hold your breath!-colour
paintings of birds and anials found on the premises of the Tollygunge Club.
It is an amazing record of birds and animals that are found in an
undisturbed space of greenery, even though it has been designed for the use
of humans, which still supports such an amazing array of wildlife!! The
cover illustration is just lovely! If every other club like that of
Tollygunge can make an inventory of its plants and wildlife then these will
make their presence in the wildlife support areas of India. A more recent
book on a club supporting birds etc. is that of India International Center.

5. Blossoms of Bangalore:  TP Issar. Most likely self published with
acknowledged financial assistance of many, 1994, Bangalore(now Bengaluru).
One of the few books which document a city's greenery from historical,
colonial and post Independent times. Vivid descriptions with photographs
and colour paintings including botanical paintings(archival material), and
by artists such as Rumale and others. A very interesting and lovely Coffee
Table book.

6. Common Trees: H  Santapau. National Book Trust of India. 1966, but
many reprints later!!! One of the earliest books for the layman to identify
trees-36 of them with 25 illustrations and some colour photographs. Useful.

7. Brahma's Hair: On the mythology of Indian Plants. Rupa & Co. 1989. A
lovely book with mythologies associated with different Indian plants. The
30 plants have stories with folk myths both tribal and non-tribal, and this
book is especially endearing because it brings out our tribl mythologies
associated with trees. The tribals are forest dwellers and they know and
live with their trees. And it is wonderful to slip into their cosmos-albeit
one leaf at a time! The book draws the tribal mythologies and cosmos from
the ethnographic and anthropological studies. Lovely line illustrations of
not just the plants but of the story too! A must have for every plant lover.
I bought this book in 1989, at the princely cost of Rs.30/- and was
enchanted, and many many years later with many many plant books in between,
when I recently revisited this little book, I was enchanted-again.

Kind Regards
Janaki Turaga

I would be grateful if any member is able to find any publication/find
differences between Rorippa palustris (L.) Besser and Rorippa islandica
(Oeder) Borbas. The two have often been considered as synonyms, but now
treated as distinct species. It would be interesting to decide our
specimens belong to which of these. Latter is an European species but has
been recorded in most Indian treatments, mainly because R. palustris was
for some years was treated as its synonym. GRIN reports only R. palustris
from India.

[ushadi Micromini]

thanks amit
since you are our resident expert in aromas I take your advice seriously...
but
I find thai english writing a bit difficult to comprehend sometimes
I had seen and downloaded this paper before i id-ed my own plant a couple
of years ago...
AND...
their pic clearly shows the longer pedicle for the flower in elegans...  by
the water stream... which pulchra does not have
i'll see if can find this same plant of surajit at the hort and take a pic
of the fresh flower..in early morning.. the central cross star and very
small pedicle is some of the key...

it will of course be short of a taxonomist in the filed doing the
dissection.. yet

 Ajinkya Ji,

 Very little could be found on flowers of *Maranta* sps. According
 to a 'pdf' 
 file,
 available from -
 http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=600&taxon_id=119663,
 there are about 32 species in this genus. But almost all flowers 
 picture
 are available for *Maranta arundinacea*. However, two close match
