Fwd: [efloraofindia:190392] Herb ID from Bangladesh SM054 (2) : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3). This attached plant similar with previous pictures but it is also without thorn and leaf structure is different than previous posted pictures This set likely to be Hygrophila phlomoides Nees. Please note, H. p. var. roxburghii is distributed in Sunderbans. efi page on Hygrophila phlomoides There is one Hygrophila phlomoides Nees var. roxburghii C. B. Clarke. in FoC and in TPL, and the difference/ key can be found in http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=116043#KEY-1-5. But, Sir Prain (also FBI) connects H. p. roxburghii with Ruellia obovata Roxb., not with Ruellia erecta Burm. f. as in FoC. The KEY in BP - i) stem erect; leaves elliptic or oblong, subsessile = phlomoides ii) stem procumbent or geniculate; leaves obovate, shortly petioled = var. roxburghii Both can be found Chittagong and var. roxburghii in Sundarban. Assuming leaves are oblong in this plant I think it should be H. p. only.
Acanthaceae Fortnight: Hygrophila phlomoides Nees from Assam-KD 04 Mar 2015 : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (4) Attached images are Hygrophila phlomoides Nees from Assam. IDENTITY 64 : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4) Attaching few images of a roadside plant. prefers receding water body. flowers are visited by bee/butterfly. Identity please. Hygrophila phlomoides of Acanthaceae that makes it Kulekhara 2nd image may not be of Hygrophila phlomoides These are same plants. I had a question, since I saw this post, and I perused Hygrophila in EFI. Still a bit unclear ..... What is the telltale difference between H. phlomidis and H. ringens ? Somewhere I read H. phlomidis has hairy leaves, H. ringens has not. (I think Flora of China) . Here in Surat I have H. auriculata, recently I saw, I think H. polysperma, and H. ringens/ phlomidis in need of being sorted out !! |
