Re: [efloraofindia:142125] Pteris sp.from Kamrup district, Assam
A reply: No, that's Blechnum orientale. The only generally similar Pteris is P. vittata (subsp. vittata in Kamrup), which has more, more crowded and narrower pinnae and only gradually reducing at the base, not suddenly so (and young fronds are not pink, then yellow, as in the Blechnum). When fertile they are easy to distinguish as the Blechnum has sori a bit apart from the costa, not at the edge as in P. vittata - but these photos are only young, small plants so not fertile yet.

Re: [efloraofindia:142141] Flora Picture of the year- 2012- Rajesh Sachdev
Thanks, Rajesh ji. It's great that you completed the trek despite your poor health. Your story is really great touching. I now how the people really feel after seeing 'Brahma Kamal'. It's akin to seeing the God itself for a moment. On 3 January 2013 00:40, Rajesh Sachdev matherana.rajes...@gmail.comwrote: There are few excursions or trips designed to target particular species, let it be birds, butterflies or flora. There is one or more then one species that are in wishlist of such excursions and without which those excursions remain incomplete. When I was designing the Valley of Flowers trip for the joint group of eFI and Indian Flora , I had one such species in my mind as target. And that is not only me most of people who visit VoF have such feeling that they must see that flower. The flower is Brahma Kamal. Four months of desperation, I realised that I am medically unfit for VoF. Viral fever and lose of weight put me in week category and doctor declared me unfit for such tough trek. But there were reasons for me to still do it, JUST DO IT. (a) Commitment to 20+ participants and (b) willingness to see my target flower. On the day one while trekking up from Govind Ghat to Ghanghariya my health collapsed. The trek, for good 13 Kms and uphill, was full of flowers on both sides and I kept on ignoring. Just because my mind was not concentrating on them but on my collapsing health. Day 2 was fine and comparatively better. Thanks to Smita Raskar for supporting me and offering me tablets etc. Day 3 was suppose to be for Hemkund Saheb, the only place where I could have seen Brahmakamal. And on this day again I started feeling uncomfortable. I somehow managed to reach to point from where I could see a flower or two and click them using the maximum zoom from my digital camera. Very blur and dull pic, I could secure. Today, when I have redesigned the VoF tour (in fact 2 tours in June in August) , that sense of incompleteness is chasing me. That sense is asking me to go and click your beloved flower, more closely and sharply. With god's blessing today I have better camera and I wish and pray to my god that Waheguru ji, give me strength and willpower to complete my mission and photograph my beloved flower . The flower that has Shri Hemkund Saheb in the background and snow clad mountain on either side.

Re: [efloraofindia:141892] Angiopteris evecta (G. Forst.) Hoffm. a vulnerable fern from Kamrup district , Assam
A reply: Dear Dr. Karuna Das, Sorry! didn't mean that it was your paper that was for more impact - I just meant that that's what happens too often in general! I often see rather common species said to be seriously threatened - field study was not extensive enough. But this particular one isn't really rare enough to be a particularly threatened species. There are huge areas without decent forest any more, which are unsuitable for it, but whenever you get some small but good, damp patches of forest on small hills in the North-East it may be there. Contrast it with something like Pteridrys cnemidaria - gone from nearly all its 19th Century sites - in fact after 3 decades of very active and extensive botanising I only ever found it once - to my surprise, at Namdapha, Arunachal Pradesh in 1994 In fact I ought to report that some time, I suppose). Now that's definitely threatened - it was always rare, but is now of very limited occurrence indeed. Yes, all the literature, apart from Prof. Holttum at Kew and Alston's notes at the BM, used to give only A. evecta - but following Holttum's revision I found he was indeed quite right and I then made a considerable revision of Indian Angiopteris in 2008 - enabling us to fix a name for the common Indian Angiopteris, as A. helferiana (described from Myanmar). That's how we came by the name - before that it was just a taxonomic mess, with scores of candidate names, and just about the only one we could know was NOT the Indian one was A. evecta! So most literature before 2008 gives just A. evecta sens. lat. - the Assam's flora book was presumably just not aware of the taxonomic problems in the genus and had not researched it. A book which is more directly relevant is the Ferns of Assam by Borthakur colleagues at Guwahati University - but it does contain a great many misidentifications and errors, which will not be corrected in future, I feel sure. I expect that may give A. evecta or one of the other names like A. crassipes. Barapani park came to know about its not being evecta through my ex-student, Dr. Benniamin, who has my 2008 book revising it and went down from Shillong a couple of years ago to put names on the ferns there, but it will still take some time for the message to become more widespread that it is not A. evecta - after all people are still using Pteridium aquilinum, Hypolepis punctata, Polystichum setiferum etc. etc. - all absent from India and published quite some time ago. It takes time, as well as people not being particularly happy to change a name that has been familiar to them for decades! It would be good to get more information on the distribution of A. helferiana, A. indica and A. palmiformis in Assam State, too - all three are there (all under A. evecta of course!). I have quite a lot of collections of Angiopteris from different parts of Assam, but I doubt if I made any from N. Kamrup as I didn't spot so many ferny areas, and one is always in a quandary - miss the bus and go to botanise, or catch the bus when it comes and miss the chance to find things! All best wishes and happy investigations! Chris Fraser-Jenkins. On 31 December 2012 05:00, jmgarg1 jmga...@gmail.com wrote: A reply: Dear Dr. Chris F.-J Sir,** Thank you very much Sir, for ID.

Wondferful presentation, Singh ji. On 31 December 2012 22:59, Gurcharan Singh singh...@gmail.com wrote: Presenting my flora picture of the Year 2012,* Iris japonica*, the fringed iris or butterfly flower. I had known about several species of Iris being grown in Kashmir to decorate graveyards and as ornamentals, and a few forming enormous meadows both in the valley (Iris lactea, which for a long time was identified as I.ensata) and alpine hills (I. hookeriana). These species were mostly possesed by me in the form of dried speciments. I missed photograhing these in previous years as they are early flowering plants, and I would miss their flowering. This year I planned an early visit to Kashmir to catch these and other similar flowers. Luckily I was able to catch almost all, but my prized click was this species which I found in gardens for the first time in Kashmir. Despite its scientific name, the plant is neither a native of Japan (rather being a native of China), nor bearing the common name Japanese iris (which belongs to Iris ensata). The plant is a rhizomatous perennial with sword-shaped leaves up to 60 cm long, up to cm wide, without midvein; flowers pale blue to white, 4-6 cm across, with fringed falls spotted with purple and orange crusts, up to 1.5 cm long spathe, up to 2.5 cm long pedicel and perianth tube shorter than 1.5 cm, flowers are arranged on much branched stems.

Re: [efloraofindia:141840] Angiopteris evecta (G. Forst.) Hoffm. a vulnerable fern from Kamrup district , Assam
A reply: Dear Dr. Chris F.-J Sir,** Thank you very much Sir, for ID. Sir, I have identified my *Angiopteris** sp *. as *A. evecta* with the help of reference material like* “ The Ferns of Nagaland” by N.S. Jamir R.R. Rao* and *“Assam’s Flora (Present Status of Vascular Plant) by Prefessor (Dr.) S. Chowdhury (Published by Assam Science Society and Environmental Council)* etc. According to *‘The Ferns of Nagaland’* only one species of *Angiopteris* *i.e*. *A. evecta** (Forst.) Hoffm*. is found in Nagaland. *In this State it is common in dense natural forests, specially near water courses. One of the very variable species depending upon the habitat (written in Ferns of Nagaland in page no. 40).* On the other hand there are *two species of **Angiopteris** **i.e**. **A. evecta** (Forst.) Hoffm **A. assamica** de Vriese ( synonym of **Angiopteris helferiana**) are found in Assam[Assam’s Flora (Present Status of Vascular Plant)] * According to this book the *A. evecta** is vulnerable* in Assam** *[ page no. 325]. *Unfortunetly when I visited the *Experimental Garden (under BSI Eastern Circle, Shillong, Meghalaya ), Barapani, Meghalaya * on October, 2012 with student, there they showed and told us *Angiopteris helferiana* as *A. evecta* .That specimen is now conserved in that garden.When I came to know from your reply that there is no *Angiopteris evecta* in India and neighbouring countries then I searched many reference material and found *a research paper published in Jan.2012,(** http://threatenedtaxa.org/ZooPrintJournal/2012/January/o275126i122277-2294.pdf *http://threatenedtaxa.org/ZooPrintJournal/2012/January/o275126i122277-2294.pdf * ) where it was written that **Angiopteris helferiana** is known here as Angiopteris evecta. * Sir, I have collected this specimen (*Angiopteris helferiana*) from hilly area of Kamrup district, **Assam** which is not common in the district. This species that I had identified erroneously as *A. evecta* and *described as vulnerable* with the help of material like “** Assam**’s Flora (Present Status of Vascular Plant) by Prefessor (Dr.) S.Chowdhury (Published by Assam Science Society and Environmental Council). My purpose was to send this species to enrich the *database of* *efl group* but not to get a paper to have more impact. Because I was completely ignorant about the fact of particular species. For that I am sorry. Again thank you Dr. Chris F.-J Sir. Also thank you Garg Sir for forwarding.

It is not a threatened or rare fern in India, nor vulnerable, but occurs in thousands of localities wherever there is forest and streams. I have myself found it in many places in Assam state, though I agree ferns in general are being cut and burnt down enormously in Assam along with all the forested areas. But it can't qualify as under threat in Assam, as it often grows in damp, overgrown ditches in many localities - in fact I seldom don't find it whenever I look in ferny places in Assam. However there are some other regions in India where it is locally threatened as one approaches drier regions (where a lot more forest is under threat). I forget now how far west it goes - and would have to check my lists on www.groups.yahoo.com/group/Indian-Ferns (sign in as a new member and then go to files on the left - and see the paper on Nepal ferns and Indo-Himalayan lists) - but do I remember rightly, I think, seeing it as a rarity in the West Indo-Himalaya in Pithoragarh (at Debichhina)? - that's because it is right on the edge of its climatic range there. Further west, lower-altitude localities get far too dry during the non-monsoon time in Winter. A. helferiana is also common in forested areas of South India. For information on India's threatened pteridophytes, I recently published a full assessment in the Bull. Tokyo Sci. Mus. (2011), giving IUCN categories (which have to apply nationally, not regionally within a country). Many species have erroneously been described as threatened in order to get a paper to have more impact, when they are not! Best wishes, Chris F.-J.

But the blade colour is a lighter green, and the front lobe of the blade is more elongate, than what I have seen previously in Colocasia fallax. We can be certain this is Colocasia sp., but as Peter Boyce, says, we need to see the inflorescence to reach any conclusion about species-level identification. I am currently traveling, but when I return to Japan in early January, I can look at some photos another colleague (archaeologist) in Assam sent me last year.

Re: [efloraofindia:141695] Fern of Ajibarang Limestone
A reply: That is good old Pteris biaurita, with widely joined pinnule-bases [more correctly pinna-lobe bases] and non-apiculate pinna-lobe apices. So far I myself only found subsp. fornicata commonly in Java - where the costal arches formed by the anastomosing basal pair of veinlets are shallow and long, mostly extending from one pinna-lobe midrib to the next, and not coming up into a tall, more-or-less point just beneath the sinus. I have no idea if our common and widespread subsp. walkeriana is also there. But in this photo I can't see the venation anyway. It would need a close up of the underside of a section of a pinna, preferably the second pinna up from the base - then we should be able to see the veins OK. But perhaps now the sender can answer this question himself from the information given? Good luck! Best wishes, Chris Fraser-Jenkins, RBG, Edinburgh.

Re: [efloraofindia:141696] Sphenomeris chinensis (L.) Maxon. (?) from Kamrup district (Assam)
A reply: Yes, that's correct, it's Sphenomeris chinensis, or as I prefer, Odontosoria chinensis (also molecularly cladonomised as Bierhorstia chinensis, but not so much fitting in with the morphological taxonomy, which I believe must also be considered!). There is an apparently separate cytotype from South India, Lanka and parts of SE Asia, described as O. tenuifolia, which is subtly different in having rather wider segment-apices and slightly shorter segments - I think the best treatment for that is as a subsp. tenuifolia as the two are so close, but usually distinguishable, it seems. Subsp. tenuifolia is also turning up now in N.E. India as well. Rather ironic that the entity named tenuifolia is actually thicker and wider in its parts than chinensis proper - but no matter. After all there's a Lathyrus japonicus that actually came from Britain and does not occur in Japan at all, or E. Asia! - its locality told to Linnaeus was a mistake - but it is still known as L. japonicus even so! O. chinensis is very common at lower altitude through all the C. and E. Himalaya and C. and S. India - but can't go very far west in the Indo-Himalaya, not beyond Uttarakhand, I think (?memory!), as it gets too dry for it at certain seasons. It is one of the commonest roadside weeds around the Kathmandu valley, but try as you might, it seems you simply cannot transplant it, or it immediately dies! Several ferns are like that, also Palhinhaea (Lycopodiella) cernua - that pretty clubmoss, would be so nice to grow, but it will only grow where it wants to by spores - can't be moved. Dipteris wallichii, though a common roadside weed in far NE India is very hard to grow too. Both Odontosoria and Palhinhaea (and Dipteris to some degree) grow in similar habitats on semi-open clay banks of paths and roads. Best wishes, Chris F.-J. Thanks, Dr. Chris.

Re: [efloraofindia:141700] Angiopteris evecta (G. Forst.) Hoffm. a vulnerable fern from Kamrup district , Assam
A reply: Ah yes, that's better - I can see immediately now the inframarginal sori - it is Angiopteris helferiana (please bear in mind that A. evecta is not even within 5000 miles of India!) - the commonest Angiopteris in India. It is not a threatened or rare fern in India, nor vulnerable, but occurs in thousands of localities wherever there is forest and streams. I have myself found it in many places in Assam state, though I agree ferns in general are being cut and burnt down enormously in Assam along with all the forested areas. But it can't qualify as under threat in Assam, as it often grows in damp, overgrown ditches in many localities - in fact I seldom don't find it whenever I look in ferny places in Assam. However there are some other regions in India where it is locally threatened as one approaches drier regions (where a lot more forest is under threat). I forget now how far west it goes - and would have to check my lists on www.groups.yahoo.com/group/Indian-Ferns (sign in as a new member and then go to files on the left - and see the paper on Nepal ferns and Indo-Himalayan lists) - but do I remember rightly, I think, seeing it as a rarity in the West Indo-Himalaya in Pithoragarh (at Debichhina)? - that's because it is right on the edge of its climatic range there. Further west, lower-altitude localities get far too dry during the non-monsoon time in Winter. A. helferiana is also common in forested areas of South India. For information on India's threatened pteridophytes, I recently published a full assessment in the Bull. Tokyo Sci. Mus. (2011), giving IUCN categories (which have to apply nationally, not regionally within a country). Many species have erroneously been described as threatened in order to get a paper to have more impact, when they are not! Best wishes, Chris F.-J.

But the blade colour is a lighter green, and the front lobe of the blade is more elongate, than what I have seen previously in Colocasia fallax. We can be certain this is Colocasia sp., but as Peter Boyce, says, we need to see the inflorescence to reach any conclusion about species-level identification. I am currently traveling, but when I return to Japan in early January, I can look at some photos another colleague (archaeologist) in Assam sent me last year. He may have photographed the same or a similar plant. Best regards, Peter M.

Few more observations in this regard can be seen at efi site link: https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/b/bignoniaceae/millingtonia/millingtonia-hortensis On 22 December 2012 13:58, Sheshadri Ramaswamy livewithtr...@gmail.comwrote: Millingtonia hortensis is probably from Burma or nearby regions and has been sought after by horticulturists for planting in parks and gardens. It is pollinated well and fruits profusely in many places in Bangalore but the germination rate of seeds is very low, hence propagated by root suckers.

If the tree is native, then the comment that the tree rarely fruits in India is entirely misplaced i suppose. Either it has been only transplanted through root suckers and the absence of the Hawk moth in urban areas could be possible explanation for not fruiting ??

[efloraofindia:141123] Millingtonia fruit - Is Millingtonia native to India ?
A query from Nitin Kanitkar ji: ... i have downloaded the picture of the Millingtonia fruit as well. That too is frankly puzzling. In some books of Indian origin it is said to be bird pollinated and of Indian origin. At other places, the origin shows as Myanmar alone and that a specific Hawk Moth is the pollinator. If the tree is native, then the comment that the tree rarely fruits in India is entirely misplaced i suppose. Either it has been only transplanted through root suckers and the absence of the Hawk moth in urban areas could be possible explanation for not fruiting ?? Any assistance in the matter will be highly appreciated. -- With regards, J.M.Garg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora Fauna' The whole world uses my Image Resource of more than a *thousand species* eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically place-wise): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg.

[efloraofindia:141126] Re: Millingtonia fruit - Is Millingtonia native to India ?
A reply: Millingtonia hortensis Linn. f has Bignonia suberosa Roxb. as synonym. The ornamental tree which has a telugu name also. It is quite probable that species colleted by Koenig much earlier in his voyage to Siam has been described by Linnaeus filius just like Tectona from Burma, Pterocarpus santalinus from Tirupati hills by Koenig who is mentor of Roxburgh describing plants from Coromanedl. Millingtonia is monotypic perhaps and Generic one should be studied to locate exct type locality instead of SE ASia. I used to call it as Turaka malli for tree jasmine but Kavadi of wikipedia I have to check from Elliot now under revision as Floraandhrika Blospot.in from Dr. Datla C S Raju.

[efloraofindia:140728] Re: [efloraindia:100209] Fern from Mt Slamet Central Java 2
A reply: The big Angiopteris from Gunung Slamet appears to be A. palmiformis, I would think, though I hestitate as we still do not have a useable list of Javan pteridophytes as far as I'm aware - and as I saw from visiting Gunung Ged and the south, things can get complicated in the fern paradise of Java! But the huge size, smooth stipe, pinnae with very many pinnules and in particular the pinnules having a cordate base, all look like that species. If so, the recurrent false veins, which are important in Angiopteris, should go to at least half way back to the pinnule midrib, or a little more, before becoming indistinct. The sori are a little bit inframarginal, not unlike our common Indian A. helferiana. A. palmiformis also occurs in far N.E. India - in Arunachal Pradesh and adjacent Assam - and right through from Myanmar and S.E. Asia to the Philippines. A. evecta is neither present in India, nor Java, but confined to Oceania - described from Tahiti - its recurrents reach the costa, among other small differences. In the past all were just called A. evecta, but as Holttum showed, that was incorrect. The other difficulty in Angiopteris is the mass of pointless synonyms made by C. Presl, de Vriese and then Hieronymus and Ching - some authors, from Christensen onwards, have already cast doubt on them and many have been sunk now. But Angiopteris is a difficult genus with quite a number of species, three in India, too. Cheers, Chris Fraser-Jenkins, Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.

Each oxygen cylinder on an average costs Rs 700, so in a day one uses Oxygen worth Rs 2100 and for a full year it is Rs 7,66,500. If we consider an average life span of 65 years; the costs of oxygen we use become a staggering sum of around Rs 5 Cr.. All this oxygen is derived free of cost from the surrounding trees. Very few people look at trees as a resource and there is rampart tree cutting going on everywhere which should stop. __,_._,___ -- With regards, J.M.Garg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora Fauna' The whole world uses my Image Resource of more than a *thousand species* eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically place-wise): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg.
