treated under Nothapodytes nimmoniana. But I too believe that these plants

Re: [efloraofindia:85795] Koenigia nepalensis (Polygonum filicaule)_RKC_04102011

Sir,

I could not get you point! Would you please elaborate?

I checked Fl. Pakistan too..
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242100084

Waiting to hear from you.

Re: [efloraofindia:85803] Koenigia nepalensis (Polygonum filicaule)_RKC_04102011

[Ritesh Kumar Choudhary]

Thank you sir!

Considering Hedberg's work (1997) on Koenigia (cant attach the PDF here due
to big file size), I think the genus deserves a separate status and I would
be happy to follow K. nepalensis as an accepted name.

Moreover, I am not comfortable with the mixing of Persicaria and Polygonum
in Fl. China. Rather, Fl. Pakistan's treatment is justifiable and is in line
with the molecular studies carried out by Kim & Donghue (2008) and others.

Hope to hear from you.

Regards,
Ritesh.

Re: [efloraofindia:89978] Re: Flora of Chakrata: Ipomoea hederifolia near Kalsi on Kalsi Chakrata Road

Dear Gurucharn sir,

Photographs of I. hederifolia L. shared by Mani ji in the following thread
clearly shows lobed leaves and scarlet flowers without yellow throat. This
helped me to clear my doubt.

http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/fc8a68a7f9a6a52f

I am really thankful to you for providing a nice key that helped me to
understand these plants. Now I can confirm my plant as I. rubriflora
O'Donell (=I. coccinea L.).

I would also like to refer a paper that proves these taxa distinct based on
molecular data.
Here is the link :
http://www.amjbot.org/content/91/8/1208.short

Unfortunately, ambiguity can still be seen in 'Tropicos' that treats I.
hederifolia L. as the accepted name for I. coccinea L.

Yes, your plant looks like Dysoxylum sp. to me . But pl observe the

Looks like a Maesa sp. to me.
Myrsinaceae.

Dear Pudji Ji,

Got a reply from my friend today. He confirmed this to be as Dorstenia
bahiensis.

Family: Moraceae.

May I ask about the locality and flowering time of the plant? Did u
find this in wild?

Hope to hear from you.

Regards,
Ritesh.

Dear Ma'm,

Many species of Maesa are reported from NE India and this one doesn't
look like M. indica to me. A close up of the flower may help to get
the correct ID.

Regards,
Ritesh.

Yes from me too!

The characteristic stipule visible in the first photograph suggest
this to be Exbucklandia populnea.

Common in E. Himalayan region.

Ritesh.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for sharing the beautiful photographs. But I cannot make out any
difference between A. chinensis and A. strigosa which is cultivated in
Nepal, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. Kindly enlighten us on this.

Regards,
Ritesh.

Could it be some Daphne?

Yes Prashantji,

Very correct!! This is Debregeasia longifolia only.

I've also collected this plant from Arunachal.
