 Thanks Nidhan Ji, for the nice coverage and the picture. The kalimpong,
 pelling, darjiling area is very good for flower hunting especially in
 April-May. I visited these places in 2009 April. Especially at SIkkim lot
 of orchids could be seen. Almost every house has few pots with colourful
 flowers.

 Dear All,

 This is quite difficult for anyone to choose a single out of numerous
 shots, each recorded with equal interest and dedication, and same is true
 for me..
 The year 2014 brought a lot of opportunities for me to go out and
 record the plant sightings, starting in February 2014 when I got my much
 awaited tiny orchid, *Zeuxine streumatica* from Morni Hills...we
 visited Chakrata in April and again Morni Hills in October..
 But my most memorable tour was Kalimpong-Pelling-Darjeeling Tour in
 May 2014 with Smita Ji, a die hard lover of orchids. There are so many
 things to tell about the tour, the professionalism of the hotel owners, 
 cab
 owners and everyone out there, during the time which they call the peak
 tourist season- *abhi to kamana hai*.
 The cab people are so professionals..they charged whatever they
 wished, still they tried to travel non-stop..we had to quarrel with 
 almost
 all the drivers that we are paying a good amount, and we will stop 
 wherever
 we see any new plant, our sole aim to come here from far away places is 
 to
 observe plants, but we never succeeded in telling them that we are not
 tourists..
 On the first day, while going from Siliguri to Kalimpong, I observed
 a large number of tall plants among the grasses, which I immediately took
 as orchids, but being in a bus I could not get down to see or record 
 them..
 During all our days of stay there, we didn't get this orchid
 anywhere...Smita Ji was desperate to get it but I told her that bamboo
 orchid was not on any of our usual routes..we have to plan a special 
 visit
 to that area..what, if I am wrong in id or in relocating the plant, in 
 that
 case we will waste money and a valuable day, still we decided to go for 
 it..
 On the day of my back journey, we planned a visit from Darjeeling to
 Siliguri from indirect route (not the smallest) which will connect with 
 the
 same road going from Siliguri to Kalimpong at the Teesta Bridge..this was
 sheer luck that we got few individuals of the bamboo orchid growing 
 towards
 this part of the road and I realized that the sizeable number which I had
 seen during up journey was actually after Teesta Bridge towards Kalimpong
 and not this side..
 On sight of this orchid, Smita Ji was so excited that she dropped the
 lens cover of her camera, not to be found again, but we were very happy 
 to
 be successful in the end..

 I hope the attached picture qualifies for being my FLORA PICTURE OF
 THE YEAR 2014..

I had restricted to myself to clicking photographs of ornamental plants
and botanical garden trees etc. until June this year when one of my good
friends suggested that I start visiting the forests nearby Bangalore. Soon
after this came a visit to Coorg where unfortunately I did not get to see
much due to heavy rains in the area. However, a month later, while talking
to a fellow member on India Flora (Facebook) I discovered that he was the
deputy conservator of forests in the Chikamagalur area of Western Ghats. He
cordially invited me to Chikamagalur and even offered to let my friends and
me use his car to travel around.

On the first day, while exploring the beautiful and scenic ghat
section, a car pulled up and a man stepped out and asked us what we were
doing. We told him that we were looking for plants, butterflies, amphibians
and odonates to which he replied that he owned land in the mountains and
gave us permission to enter the area. We visited his estate and discovered
to our joy that his 'estate' actually consisted of grasslands and forests!
We climbed into the mountains and found a nice spot to relax and enjoy the
serenity of nature. It was here that the attached photo was taken, which
perfectly describes the setting of the place where we spent the next hour
at. Endless grasslands, slowly descending clouds and tens of thousands of
*Strobilanthes* sp. forming the bulk of the mountain slopes, this
overwhelming feeling that nature's beauty gave us caused such a longing to
revisit the Western Ghats that two days later while sitting in a Chemistry
class in college, my friend and I decided that come what may, we would
attempt to visit some part of the Western Ghats each and every month!

This place and the memory that this photo evokes is definitely one of
the reasons that drives me to continue exploring forests as much as I can.
I have only just started out, but hopefully will discover many other places
that will only serve to increase my love for nature and plants!

 Dear friends,
 Saw this cultivated, ornamental plant at the BBC Show in MNP,Mumbai on
 30/3/13.
 Name given was Adenia spinosa.
 On searching, it shows plant having different leaves  flowers.
 This does look like our Adenium obesum, the Desert Rose but it has spines.
 Can't seem to find any pictures of Adenium spinosum on searching.
 Experts kindly help me with the right id.
 Thanks.

 I spent full 6 months of 2014, and that too the prominent growing

 there only. It made all the more difficult to choose my Flora picture of
 the year, with so many unique plants seen for the first time. This year I
 also had occasion to visit some very well managed nurseries, with labelled
 plants, that made my job of identification very easy, though it also gave
 me an occasion to correct some of their labels.
  At one stage I had decided to upload a collage of few

Yes Nidhan ji !! Reading through all that went into getting to that orchid
fully qualifies it to be your flora picture of the year. Indeed it is
difficult to choose a flora pic from the several we collected during the
year - the prized one could be for so many reasons ... has to be the most
wanted OR the least expected ... is found only on a treacherous route ...
supposedly a rare occurrence OR very common one that has eluded us always
...

Beautiful shot; beautiful orchid !!

Re: [efloraofindia:211834] FLORA PICTURE OF THE YEAR-2014 D S Rawat

Wonderfull shots Rawat ji

On Sat, Jan 3, 2015 at 12:10 PM, D.S Rawat drdsrawat.alpin...@gmail.com
wrote:

My flora picture of the year 2014 is:

*Pegaeophyton purii* (D.S.Rawat, L.R.Dangwal R.D.Gaur) Al-Shehbaz
(Brassicaceae)

The genus has only seven species in the world, most of them described in
last 30-40 years, occurring in alpine Himalaya and adjacent China.

This species was described by us in 1996 though the specimens were
collected much earlier by me from Roopkund area in Uttarakhand. This area
is a high Himalayan terrain with hostile climate and strenuous tracks. I
trekked to Rupkund and adjacent areas as early as in 1987 as a B.Sc.
student to participate in the Asia’s longest religious on foot journey (20
days, *+* 200kms) “Nanda Devi Raj Jat 1987”. This area made a deep
impression in my mind and called me back in 1990s twice as a research
student. I missed the Nanda Devi Raj Jat in 2000 but collected all my
energy and strength to join this journey in 2014. The objective was to see
and photograph the flora of this area (photographs and negatives of optical
cameras shot earlier have become a history and of little use) in addition
to religious reverence.

*Pegaeophyton purii* is a tiny perennial herb (rosettes 2-3 cm across
only) with sparse population restricted to Roopund area (a point endemic)
in the world. After a long gap of nearly two decades I was sceptical about
our encounter with it. BUT the hard toil proved worthy as I was able to
photograph this species first time in the world. The tiny beauty rising up
from the rock crevices and between small boulders greeted us at least at
5-6 places, still persisting in its native land.

I have added two more pics to show the area, one depicting the type
locality and other showing panorama behind the ridge. This entire area
sustains some splendid alpines, breathtaking views of Himalayan peaks and
rich flora. The love for these landscapes had rewarded me one new species
and few, collected this year, are to be published as new.

I have posted it earlier too
https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/b/brassicaceae/pegaeophyton/pegaeophyton-purii
.

Who knows when I will be able to visit this area once again?

This is Paphiopedilum purpuratum (Lindl.) Stein. This is supposed to

In Hong Kong this plant is highly threatened due to poaching and

 *Miltoniopsis* 'Bert Field'

 I spent full 6 months of 2014, and that too the prominent growing
 season, in California, USA and naturally I clicked most of my photographs
 there only. It made all the more difficult to choose my Flora picture of
 the year, with so many unique plants seen for the first time. This year I
 also had occasion to visit some very well managed nurseries, with labelled
 plants, that made my job of identification very easy, though it also gave
 me an occasion to correct some of their labels.
  At one stage I had decided to upload a collage of few
 photographed, but not knowing whether this would be approved by Garg ji 
 and
 Satish Phadke ji, I am uploading cultivar of this beautiful orchid
 photographed from Summerwinds Nursery in Sunnyvale, California.

 makes a great bonsai plant too...

 its sap is   therapeutic stuff for the irrigating sap of  Euphorbia

 its sap prevents the inflammation and intense pain and itch  caused by

 nice to keep both plants near  each other and handy,

 during a short visit in September.
 The color of these leaves really fascinated me.
 Earlier, I had seen the leaves only in pictures.
 Quoting Gurcharan Ji on our group A tree with leaves like maple and

Rawat ji, your name is one of the few which flashes in my mind when it
comes to difficult journeys for exploring plants, Looking at the pictures
showing indicative routes and the hostile terrain - it is simply
mind-boggling. A crisp salute to you for the enthusiasm and strong will, to
accomplish such challenging explorations.

This particular one I was able to photograph this species first time in
the world is a rare and wonderful reason for being your flora pic of the
year.

[efloraofindia:211733] Re: Flora Picture of the Year 2014 - Prashant Awale

2015-01-02 Thread D.S Rawat

This species of *Saussurea* eluded me for long till I photographed it this 
year only. It is not a common *Saussurea*, even less common than *Saussurea 
obvallata*, the well known Brahm Kamal of Himalaya. Restricted to grassy 
slopes around 4000m altitude this species has grasslike leaves urning it 
the specific epithet 'graminifolia' and due to such leaves difficult to 
locate until in flowering.
Prashant Ji, I still remember many floral beauties captured by you in that 
difficult terrain.
Thanks for showing the flora of G.H.N.P.

 Dear Friends,

 Trekking in Himalayas is always exiting and adventurous. I had been on a 
 10 days trekking expedition in Great Himalayan Nationanl Park (GHNP) in 
 Kullu region of Himachal Pradesh during Sepetember 2014.   It was a great 
 experience. The maximum altitude reached during this trek was approximately 
 4000m. 

 Trek covered both the Tirthan valley and Sainj Valley and it was bit 
 strenuous at times. We started our trek from Village Ghusaini (near Sai 
 Ropa) and then camping at Rolla, Chodwar, Guntarao, Dhel, Bherad Nalla, 
 Shakti and finally at Sainj Ropa. 

 Even though it was not a very good time for watching flora but still i 
 could find some new ones for me.  

 While we were traversing a bit difficult slope en-route Dhel Pass, i was 
 greeted by this cute little mountain beauty

 * Saussurea graminifolia. New find for me..*


 *Saussurea graminifolia is my Flora Picture of the Year-2014. Also sharing 
 a habitat photo of this small herb..*

I had restricted to myself to clicking photographs of ornamental
plants and botanical garden trees etc. until June this year when one of
my
good friends suggested that I start visiting the forests nearby
Bangalore.
Soon after this came a visit to Coorg where unfortunately I did not get
to
see much due to heavy rains in the area. However, a month later, while
talking to a fellow member on India Flora (Facebook) I discovered that
he
was the deputy conservator of forests in the Chikamagalur area of
Western
Ghats. He cordially invited me to Chikamagalur and even offered to let
my
friends and me use his car to travel around.

On the first day, while exploring the beautiful and scenic ghat
section, a car pulled up and a man stepped out and asked us what we were
doing. We told him that we were looking for plants, butterflies,
amphibians
and odonates to which he replied that he owned land in the mountains and
gave us permission to enter the area. We visited his estate and
discovered
to our joy that his 'estate' actually consisted of grasslands and
forests!
We climbed into the mountains and found a nice spot to relax and enjoy
the
serenity of nature. It was here that the attached photo was taken, which
perfectly describes the setting of the place where we spent the next
hour
at. Endless grasslands, slowly descending clouds and tens of thousands
of
*Strobilanthes* sp. forming the bulk of the mountain slopes, this
overwhelming feeling that nature's beauty gave us caused such a longing
to
revisit the Western Ghats that two days later while sitting in a
Chemistry
class in college, my friend and I decided that come what may, we would
attempt to visit some part of the Western Ghats each and every month!

This place and the memory that this photo evokes is definitely one
of the reasons that drives me to continue exploring forests as much as I
can. I have only just started out, but hopefully will discover many
other
places that will only serve to increase my love for nature and plants!

 Dear All,

 The year 2014 is going to close down shortly, and this is my concluding
 post for the year, hopefully there will be no break for me and I will try

 This plant is a surprise for me, I only heard that this aggressive weed
 has invaded Western Himalayas coming all the way from NE Himalayas (though
 a non-native), but never seen this anywhere..
 Invading a far off place like Panipat shows the tendency of this
 spreading herb..this may become a nuisance very soon..
 *These are fresh shots recorded today. Please suggest if I should
 eradicate this from the place, or let it grow..(though I wanted to see this
 somewhere, and this very kindly came to me)..*
 *Mikania micrantha* today from Panipat, hope the id is right

 Thanks for teaching me all through the year and I wish Everyone a Very

 days event we visited many places like Chehni Kothi, Shringi Rishi Ashram, 
 Shikari Devi Temple Jalori Pass, Naldehra, Narkanda, Banjar, Tirthan Valley 
 etc. Also this time we faced the two big problems, one is Brake Failure of 
 Our Car while climbing Down from Jalori pass and Accommodation and Food 
 Problem on last night of visit. 
 Despite of all such things, this tour will always be remembered for the 
 exciting wonderful flora we could get during this visit, Hospitality 
 provided at Brahmkumari's Guest House Near Tirthan and above all excellent 
 colors of nature spreading over the entire Banjar, Tirthan Valley and 
 around Shikari Devi Temple. The two most exciting findings were *Cardiocrinum 
 giganteum* and *Capparis spinosa. *I saw Giant Himalayan Lily first time

 Photographed in the evening rain in Kandivali, North Mumbai (July 2014).

 Best wishes, Viplav

I had restricted to myself to clicking photographs of ornamental
plants and botanical garden trees etc. until June this year when one of my
good friends suggested that I start visiting the forests nearby Bangalore.
Soon after this came a visit to Coorg where unfortunately I did not get to
see much due to heavy rains in the area. However, a month later, while
talking to a fellow member on India Flora (Facebook) I discovered that he
was the deputy conservator of forests in the Chikamagalur area of Western
Ghats. He cordially invited me to Chikamagalur and even offered to let my
friends and me use his car to travel around.

On the first day, while exploring the beautiful and scenic ghat
section, a car pulled up and a man stepped out and asked us what we were
doing. We told him that we were looking for plants, butterflies,
amphibians
and odonates to which he replied that he owned land in the mountains and
gave us permission to enter the area. We visited his estate and discovered
to our joy that his 'estate' actually consisted of grasslands and forests!
We climbed into the mountains and found a nice spot to relax and enjoy the
serenity of nature. It was here that the attached photo was taken, which
perfectly describes the setting of the place where we spent the next hour
at. Endless grasslands, slowly descending clouds and tens of thousands of
*Strobilanthes* sp. forming the bulk of the mountain slopes, this
overwhelming feeling that nature's beauty gave us caused such a longing to
revisit the Western Ghats that two days later while sitting in a Chemistry
class in college, my friend and I decided that come what may, we would
attempt to visit some part of the Western Ghats each and every month!

This place and the memory that this photo evokes is definitely one of
the reasons that drives me to continue exploring forests as much as I can.
I have only just started out, but hopefully will discover many other
places
that will only serve to increase my love for nature and plants!

and admired plants and most commonly mistakenly ided... He has very
graciously told me he will given some time, will do just that...

Ashwini: That light green color of the young leaves may be a sharp
contrast to the older darker (?grimier?) leaves... ... and not a special
identifying feature. I am not sure what does that pointed end to the
white petals mean? local phenomenon or wintery defense?

serendipity will find us the answers unless somebody has really studied
these ...

Thank you Ushadi. A quick online search for Jasmine shows my specimen
to be closer to *Jasminum multiflorum*. However, I do not see images of
the branches with lighter leaf buds anywhere on the Internet. Please advise.

Re: [efloraofindia:211784] Adenia spinosa/Adenium spinosum : BBC Show (Bonsai,Bougainvillea Cactus Show) at MNP Mumbai : 290413 : AK-4

your guesses could be correct, but you would need the whole plant pictures
at the least, because although the flower seems kind - a unique but its the
caudiciform base/trunk that will give you the best lead...

until then its a Pachypodium sp, ..
to be classified.

 Dear friends,
 Saw this cultivated, ornamental plant at the BBC Show in MNP,Mumbai on
 30/3/13.
 Name given was Adenia spinosa.
 On searching, it shows plant having different leaves  flowers.
 This does look like our Adenium obesum, the Desert Rose but it has spines.
 Can't seem to find any pictures of Adenium spinosum on searching.
 Experts kindly help me with the right id.
 Thanks.

 Dear Friends,

 Trekking in Himalayas is always exiting and adventurous. I had been on a
 10 days trekking expedition in Great Himalayan Nationanl Park (GHNP) in
 Kullu region of Himachal Pradesh during Sepetember 2014.   It was a great
 experience. The maximum altitude reached during this trek was approximately
 4000m.

 Trek covered both the Tirthan valley and Sainj Valley and it was bit
 strenuous at times. We started our trek from Village Ghusaini (near Sai
 Ropa) and then camping at Rolla, Chodwar, Guntarao, Dhel, Bherad Nalla,
 Shakti and finally at Sainj Ropa.

 Even though it was not a very good time for watching flora but still i
 could find some new ones for me.

 While we were traversing a bit difficult slope en-route Dhel Pass, i was
 greeted by this cute little mountain beauty

 * Saussurea graminifolia. New find for me..*


 *Saussurea graminifolia is my Flora Picture of the Year-2014. Also

I had restricted to myself to clicking photographs of ornamental
plants and botanical garden trees etc. until June this year when one of
my
good friends suggested that I start visiting the forests nearby
Bangalore.
Soon after this came a visit to Coorg where unfortunately I did not get
to
see much due to heavy rains in the area. However, a month later, while
talking to a fellow member on India Flora (Facebook) I discovered that he
was the deputy conservator of forests in the Chikamagalur area of Western
Ghats. He cordially invited me to Chikamagalur and even offered to let my
friends and me use his car to travel around.

On the first day, while exploring the beautiful and scenic ghat
section, a car pulled up and a man stepped out and asked us what we were
doing. We told him that we were looking for plants, butterflies,
amphibians
and odonates to which he replied that he owned land in the mountains and
gave us permission to enter the area. We visited his estate and
discovered
to our joy that his 'estate' actually consisted of grasslands and
forests!
We climbed into the mountains and found a nice spot to relax and enjoy
the
serenity of nature. It was here that the attached photo was taken, which
perfectly describes the setting of the place where we spent the next hour
at. Endless grasslands, slowly descending clouds and tens of thousands of
*Strobilanthes* sp. forming the bulk of the mountain slopes, this
overwhelming feeling that nature's beauty gave us caused such a longing
to
revisit the Western Ghats that two days later while sitting in a
Chemistry
class in college, my friend and I decided that come what may, we would
attempt to visit some part of the Western Ghats each and every month!

This place and the memory that this photo evokes is definitely one of
the reasons that drives me to continue exploring forests as much as I
can.
I have only just started out, but hopefully will discover many other
places
that will only serve to increase my love for nature and plants!

 However, I am now confused...the pics 1, 2 and 3 are from one location and

 I have seen the fruiting of both these treese and they are very similar
 looking to the jamun that we get in the markets (oval to round shaped),
 except that they are a bit smaller in size.
 As a result, I assumed its identity to be S. cuminibut now since they

 Dear Friends,

 Trekking in Himalayas is always exiting and adventurous. I had been on a
 10 days trekking expedition in Great Himalayan Nationanl Park (GHNP) in
 Kullu region of Himachal Pradesh during Sepetember 2014.   It was a great
 experience. The maximum altitude reached during this trek was approximately
 4000m.

 Trek covered both the Tirthan valley and Sainj Valley and it was bit
 strenuous at times. We started our trek from Village Ghusaini (near Sai
 Ropa) and then camping at Rolla, Chodwar, Guntarao, Dhel, Bherad Nalla,
 Shakti and finally at Sainj Ropa.

 Even though it was not a very good time for watching flora but still i
 could find some new ones for me.

 While we were traversing a bit difficult slope en-route Dhel Pass, i was
 greeted by this cute little mountain beauty

 * Saussurea graminifolia. New find for me..*


 *Saussurea graminifolia is my Flora Picture of the Year-2014. Also
 sharing a habitat photo of this small herb..*

 Shikari Devi Temple Jalori Pass, Naldehra, Narkanda, Banjar, Tirthan Valley
 etc. Also this time we faced the two big problems, one is Brake Failure of
 Our Car while climbing Down from Jalori pass and Accommodation and Food
 Problem on last night of visit.
 Despite of all such things, this tour will always be remembered for the
 exciting wonderful flora we could get during this visit, Hospitality
 provided at Brahmkumari's Guest House Near Tirthan and above all excellent
 colors of nature spreading over the entire Banjar, Tirthan Valley and
 around Shikari Devi Temple. The two most exciting findings were *Cardiocrinum
 giganteum* and *Capparis spinosa. *I saw Giant Himalayan Lily first time
 and it was in full bloom. *Capparis spinosa* we could find in flowering
 at only one place and on only a single plant in that non flowering season
 for that plant.
 One plant *Cardiocrinum giganteum, *The Giant Himalayan Lily, I am
 sharing as my flora picture of the year 2014.

Re: [efloraofindia:211756] ANDEC73 Poeciloneuron indicum

It was a nice and funny moment to across this tree for us. It was located
just behind a fenced off area (the fence marks the boundary of the forest)
adjoining the road and right near the tree were two huge bulls that seemed
to be a little agitated. I had to run ahead, climb over the fence, get a
small branch of the tree, come back to the same place where I had climbed
over the fence at which point one of the bulls seemed displeased by all of
this and decided to come after us! We all but ran for about half a km
before stopping to click photos! After all of this had happened, hardly had
we walked another half a km ahead when we found the same species again
(although this time there were no angry bulls)!

Re: [efloraofindia:211813] Re: Flora Picture of the Year 2014 - Shrikant Ingalhalikar

Agreed Shrikant ji. The cellphone camera are already giving good results;
add-on miniature gadgets for macro, zoom have also arrived. And yet better
results would be shown with newer technologies !!

Nice clear picture.

Regards.

 The mobile phone revolution is perpetual. It has made many a things
 redundant. Be it a pen, paper, calender, diary, radio, music-video player,
 computer, torch, map, GPS or a watch. Many more will submit themselves in
 the new year.
 Last few years I wondered at the junk of my film cameras, now I am
 afraid my mobile phone has made my DSLR cameras redundant too. As a
 prejudice I struck rare plants only when I did not or forgot to carry my
 cameras. Now I forget them by default because my inseparable mobile phone
 always clings to my heart from my pocket. Now when I get something exciting
 I am not disappointed or I do not rush home to get the camera.
 These are tiny flowers of Hydrolea 7 mm size, shot hand held in full
 frame and unedited though the phone offers all instant tools to edit.
 Let us see what 2015 has to offer.

Re: [efloraofindia:211824] Re: Crassulaceae, Combretaceae and Myrtaceae Fortnight:: Crassulaceae:: Crassula for id-Panipat- NS 45

Thank You very much for correction Ushadi Ji, and for interesting
information, I once became victim of the irritation by *Euphorbia* which
persisted for 7-8 hours, I felt helpless

 Nidhan...yes portulaca afra

 Mistakes happen because of the jade plant like leaves, succulent branches
 and stem (untill a cork like bark develops) and names like baby jade
 plant...

 but its a Family: Portulacaceae
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portulacaceae

 makes a great bonsai plant too...

 its sap is   therapeutic stuff for the irrigating sap of  Euphorbia trigona

 its sap prevents the inflammation and intense pain and itch  caused by sap
 of the trigona...

 nice to keep both plants near  each other and handy,
  esp if you are fond of the trigona...
