2011-11-16 Thread Giby Kuriakose
The character, upon which I decided the species is the serrated leaves and
yellow flowers.
And between these two species; in *Cordia dichotom*a, leaves are small and
margin is entire whereas in *C. lutea, *leaves are comparatively larger and
the margin is serrated (especially towards apex).

Earlier these two names were synonyms and now, according the the plant list

This is quite interesting!
The flowers looks like a species of Fabaceae but the fruits (looks like *Aegle
marmalos)* are confusing!
Another possibility is Polygalaceae and I was thinking about species
of *Securidaca
* but here leaves are compound and fruits are not that of *Securidaca *
spp

To run the key of Fabaceae with these pictures are very difficult for me.
Let us wait for more inputs from others.

Dear Sir,

Please don't feel sorry about. Critical points and suggestions are always
needed for critical observations and learning.
I had gone through the paper and other relevant literature as well. The
number of leaflets are 3-5 pairs for *S. uniflora* and are having stalked
(1-2 pairs) glands in between leaflets.

Thanks to Vijay and Gurcharan ji for validation.

Thanks and Regards
Giby

2011-11-15 Thread Giby Kuriakose
I think I was wrong with the id *Senna* *tora.*
Recollecting the discussion that Satish ji, Gurcharan ji and myself in a
thread @
https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/aa1344289f61fb1/30b803d5a2ac7a78?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=senna+uniflora+giby#30b803d5a2ac7a78

Now, I think this plant is *Senna uniflora*. I could see the stalked glands
in between the lower pair of leaflets.



Thanks and Regards

I too think they belong to the same species. By the way did you notice any
major variation in leaves. If no variation in leaves they are obviously
same species.

The difference may be because of the soil type and exposure to light, I
guess.

2011-11-13 Thread Giby Kuriakose
What a wonderful week we had experienced with *Fabaceae-Faboideae
(Papilionaceae) Week*. Every body had wholeheartedly contributed towards
the same from all around the country and we were fortunate to see some
beautiful Fabacean species from Australia by Ushaprabha ji as well. Thanks
to Ushaprabha ji for the same.

Above all, a hats off salute to Satish ji for the wonderful coordination
and encouragement all throughout and his personal contribution would be
much higher than that of everybody else, I guess, as he tops in the list
(as of now) for the month. And of course, Gurcharangi as well contributed
with some unique Fabacean plants as well, as usual. Thank you sir for the
same

Congratulations and Thanks to Satish ji for all the supports and a
successful coordination.

Thanks to all members for the active participation.


Thanks and Regards,
Giby

2011-11-13 Thread Giby Kuriakose
I can't believe that you were/are using a mobile camera to capture these
pictures.
I was thinking of a compact digital camera.
It is a great effort and thanks goes to N95 as well for showing us such
wonderful pictures.
Your pictures were clearly showing characters of plants.

Now, I think *Chamaesyce thymifolia *is a possible id.
I think Dinesh ji would validate the id.



Thanks and Regards

Re: [efloraindia:94563] ID Please, Pic Taken in Parambikulam Tiger Reserve

2011-11-13 Thread Giby Kuriakose
Dear Vinod ji,

Welcome to the group. Very nice to see people from Chennai to come up to
have active participation and discussion on plants in our group.
It will give us opportunity to see more plants from the Coromandel Coast as
well.

Thank you for the picture of a ground Orchid from Parambikulam.
To confirm the id up to species level we need more characters related to
the plant such as plant size time of flowering etc.

Would you please upload a picture with its leaf and complete inflorescence.
Further when viewing the picture you have uploaded I could see a vague
image.
I too think that this is *Habenaria. *Kindly consider my request to share
more information related to the plant and more pictures, if available.

I would like to bring few points to your kind notice for subsequent
posting with
id request.
Please use a unique subject line e.g.* Plant for ID 18/10/2011 AS  1
(date/ first letters of your first and last name/number of posts for a
specific day).*
It would be better if you could provide the necessary information related
to the plant along with the post.

You can see Detailed & Brief posting guidelines @
https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/posting-guidelines.



Thanks and Regards,
Giby

even simple leaf* *(one foliolate) @* *
http://www.planetefleurs.fr/Systematique/Fabaceae/Crotal05a.htm !

*Crotalaria quinquefolia *(Wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crotalaria_quinquefolia_W_IMG_2170.jpg
Here it looks like the inflorescence is much longer than C. grahamiana
I shall refer flora records tomorrow and get back.

Re: [efloraofindia:94270] Fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae) Week : Shrubs/Herbs : Desmodium triquetrum

2011-11-12 Thread Giby Kuriakose
I think there is a mix up.

Pictures *Desmodium triquetrum1s.jpg, **Desmodium triquetrum2s.jpg, **Desmodium
triquetrum9.jpg, **Desmodium triquetrum10.jpg *are of * *
*Desmodium triquetrum *and others,
I think other pictures might belong to *D. laxiflorum *because the
inflorescence stalk and pedicel are hairy in the later sets of pictures
where as though the inflorescence stalk is slightly hairy but pedicels are
not.
Further the length of the pedicel varies then the standard petals in the
second sets are whitish.
Consider the bract as well.
*
*
*
*
If you have picture/s of the leaves of the later sets, please check whether
the leaves have winged petiole.

Re: [efloraofindia:94253] efloraofindia:''For Id 12112011MR2’’ ?Euphorbia prostrata Pune

2011-11-12 Thread Giby Kuriakose
Dear Madhuri,


I wish if the last picture is focused properly.
I have a suggestion in this regard.
Keep your palm just below the plant/objrct while focusing. Remove the palm
after the object is focused but don't remove the focus button once the
object is focused, straightaway click after removing your palm.
You get a focused picture.

When you shoot a single object when there are lots of other space in the
frame the auto focus in the camera tend to focus the vast area in the frame
other than the small object, unless you proffered for single point (center)
focus. But unfortunately this wont work in auto mode of most of the compact
and point ant shoot cameras. You have to use
manual/shutter/aperture mode to prefer focus point.
If you always use auto mode then you try practice the aforementioned method
it works.

Few suggestions for consideration for the plant in the picture *Chamaesyce
thymifolia, C. hypericifolia *and* Euphorbia prostrata*.

Further, I think you forgot to reduce the file size.


Regards,
Giby

Thank you for the encouraging comments.
I use to shoot with flash on and then one of my friend told me that you
loose the real color (especially shades of red and blue) when flash is
used. Then I switch off the flash and tried that it worked. The previous
picture (*_GIB9763)* is a shot when flash is on!
We can see the little difference.

Giby

Re: [efloraofindia:94055] Fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae) Week_Flora of Bannerghatta_111111GK04_ID request

2011-11-11 Thread Giby Kuriakose
Thank you Vijay for the possible id.
Further, I would like to clarify few points.
While checking the Kew herbarium (
http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K000633877) the leaves
seems to be entire and obtuse at tip (attaching a cropped picture for
closer look).
Here the leaf tip is mucronate and, towards the tip (though, I don't
remember it from the field), it looks like it is slightly serrate.But the
specific epithet is apt for its behavior as it looks like
*Evolvulus*(vegetative phase)
Our library is closed as Saturday is holiday for ATREE. I will refer on
Monday.

Giby

"But in Amorphophallus, being a biennial plant, flowers and leaves are
never observed togusually flowers appear with out leaves. Also leaves are
usually pinnate or decompound in Amorphophallus."

Yes I agree with Manudev and Pascal. I totally forgotten this fact. I was
thinking of unusual number of fruits for *Arisema*.
I am not familiar with *Arisaema murrayi. *May be if we get a complete
picture of leaf, we may able to tell.
Any way, new plant to me.

The leaves are opposite in *Pilea *and serration is different.

2011-11-11 Thread Giby Kuriakose
But Manudev, the fruiting inflorescence (size), number of fruits (equal or
more number of female flowers) and the leaves (whatever little visible)
gives an impression that this could be a species *Amorphophallus  *to me.

May be we will wait for more pictures in which we can see the leaves
clearly.
