'Id 24122011MR1’’ Crossandra infundibuliformis at Pune: Oct & Nov 2011 Sharing pictures of Crossandra infundibuliformis at a private society garden at PuneFamily Acanthaceae Common names Aboli in Marathi, Firecracker flower because the seed pods, which are found after the flower has dried up, tend to "explode" when near high humidity or rainfall. The "explosion" releases the seeds onto the ground, thereby creating new seedlings. While studying about this flower I learned that Crossandra - from the Greek, meaning fringed anthers. I did not get to see this in the flowers Next time I will look at the flowers more carefully to see these fringed anthers
