Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week :: DV18 :: 20 DEC 12 16:59:43 :: Pupalia lappacea at Sirsi: 4 images. at Sirsi on 20 DEC 12 Nice to see pink flowering form. .. Its a Common plant among the areca garden of Sirsi.. The fruits get dispersed chiefly by the animals including humans.. and a nuisance in weeding the garden. In this way, I may call this as a plant of beauty and beast ! :) ... had provided me the ID of Pupalia atropurpurea for this herb. While compiling common names for the ID, got surprised to find that the species is now considered synonym of P. lappacea, a large perennial scrambler undershrub. Both species are described in Cooke's Flora of the Presidency of Bombay. Photography technique is superb Very good find. Cooke Flora gives a better description. BSI Mah flora mentions only 2 var. of Pupalia lappacea Leaves ovate-elliptic c 8 cm long. Flower awns yellow ... ... ... ...

Var. orbicular while I am believing to be Pupalia lappacea as per ID from ..., I have received comment in facebook from ..., and also from ..., that it must be Cyathula prostrata. Please validate with comments. This is Cyathula prostrata only. If you can zoom in or have any other pictures, one can check for staminodes in between the stamens to confirm the genus Cyathula rather than Pupalia. This is Cyathula prostrata not Pupalia lappacea I understood that you are very much sure about the species I was just trying to fit the key characters given in the books to the pictures as a part of study. I am not aware of both the species in the field. Hope my beliefs about the Keys are true. My earlier sentence might have created confusion. I was trying to find the staminodes as a part of using the differentiating key. Many thanks ... for the ID. I am sure you are familiar with both plants - any straight (glaring) difference ?

This herb is from Mizoram. Family: Amaranthaceae. (Earlier this was discussed and it was suggested that this could be Achyranthes bidentata). Date/Time: 9th Nov./ 10:40AM Location: Mizoram Habitat: Wild Plant Habit: Herb Leaves: Opposite, rhomboid with short petioles, nerves prominent around 7 pairs... May be some Pupalia species. I think ... may be right. I think this is Cyathula, possibly Cyathula prostrata (L) Bl. Bijdr., as in -
Me too would think of this plant being some species of Cyathula, and just as ... thought, most probably C. prostrata. Not sure because - not seen yet any species of Pupalia.I am yet to see any Cyathula and one of the synonyms of Cyathula prostrata, given in the F. B. I., is Pupalia prostrata Mart.! I think :-
Thanks ... for further elaborating the aspects of Cyathula and Pupalia. I am not familiar with species of either; both genera seem to be close enough to be synonymous in some of their species.Hopefully the ID gets resolved. Me too ..., don't understand the difference; and it's hairline :- stamens with interposed staminodes ------ Cyathula stamens without staminodes ------ Pupalia The botanists those days had some powerful lenses!!! Came across this herb at Mizoram. Looks like Achyranthes sp. ?? Bot. name: Achyranthes ?? Family: Amaranthaceae Date/Time: 9th Nov./ 10:40AM Location: Mizoram Habitat: Wild Plant Habit: Herb Leaves: Opposite, rhomboid with short petioles, nerves prominent around 7 pairs... Should be A. bidentata Achyranthes bidentata Blume is a species of Achyranthes that grows in India, Nepal, China, and Japan. It is the source of Huái niú xī, a Chinese herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory activities. In Nepal its root juice is used for toothache. Its seeds have been used as a substitute for cereal grains in famine years This must be Cyathula prostrata.

Sorry, ..., Check again seems not, Cythula prostrata only, ... is on the right path i think. looks different in this herbarium from janaki herbarium on the net and Cythula : looks very different, similar to your pictures What you sent reference is correct, But your post is Cyathula only, You can go throw this. Habit up 1.5 m high., erect, Inflorescence dense spike and has spiny bristles........Pupalia Habit up to 75 cm long decumbent, some times prostrate, Inflorescence loose spike, haven't spiny bristles.........Cythula Thank you very very much ... for pointing to the error. Indeed it is Cyathula prostrata - I always mistake this one for Pupalia. And despite it, I did not bother to match plants in my collection. Sheer haste and over-confidence !!! Thanks very much ... Will quickly correct my notes in flickr. References: |
