Not seen in wild, but seen cultivated. In Marathi called as Badakvel as the flowers appear like duck.
The fruit is marvellous, like a basket and the seed dispersal occurs by swiNing of the basket with wind.
Nice mechanism.

(Aristolochiaceae)

Dear friends,

 

It is my pleasure to share few images of Aristolochia ringens   (Aristolochiaceae  ).Though it is said to be native of South America and cultivated across the tropics,I found it in the wild spread sporadically over an area of about 25 sq.kms around Kalasa.It is also known to occur elsewhere in the wild in the ghat forests of the district.Has it naturalised...??  

 

Habit: A vigorous climber.

 

Habitat:Wild,Semi-evergreen forest fringes.

 

Sighting:Kalasa,Chikmagalur,Karnataka,about 1000 msl

 

Date:13-11-2015

 

Thanks and regards
