This is in response to the request of Sussrut ji. The list of suggested climbers are, (a ) Aristolochia ringens ( b ) Aristolochia elegans ( c ) Bignonia venusta ( GOLDEN SHOWER ) ( d ) Passiflora caerulea ( e ) Passiflora holosericea( SILKY LEAF PASSION FLOWER ) ( f ) Quisqualis indica ( RANGOON CREEPER ) ( g ) Antigonon leptopus Note : ( d ) and ( e ) are host plant for LEOPARD LACE WING butterfly. In addition their beautiful fragrant flowers attract number of butterfly species, List of trees/shrubs can include ( a ) Santalum album ( CHANDAN ). Host plant for REDBASE JEZEBEL butterfly. Nectar flower for more than 50 species of butterflies. And at least 7 species of birds visit the tree for fruits. ( b ) Ixora - Quite a number of butterflies visit the flowers for nectar ( c ) Tecoma stans ( d ) Polyalthia longifolia ( MAST TREE ). Host for COMMON JAY and TAILED JAY butterflies. ( e ) Russelia juncea ( f ) Jasminum officinale As Susrut ji is stationed at Lucknow, he will get all these from NBRI ( or at least they will be able to guide him) In addition he can contact Center for Aromatic and Medicinal plants for further guidance. I will be able to send him seeds of NAGLINGAM and Aristolochia ringens if he desires. Regards, Bimal On 30 July 2016 at 21:53, J.M.
