ID request-011111-PKA1: 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (5). Seen this herb in the sandy soil near Shiok River at Village Turtuk (Ladakh). Date/Time: 18-09-2011 / 06:30PM Location: Turtuk, Ladakh (Altitude: Approx: 11000ft). Plant habit: Herb Habitat: Wild Could this be "Salsola tragus" (Family: Chenopodiaceae)?? I think yes
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week :: PKA2 :: Salsola tragus at Turtuk Ladakh: Bot. name: Salsola tragus Family: Chenopodiaceae Location: Turtuk, Ladakh (seen this in the sandy soil near Shiok river). Plant habit: Herb Habitat: Wild Enclosing some pictures for identification. Location : Sangam, Leh Date: 20 August, 2014 I think this may be Salsola kali - found sparsely distributed on the coast of the British Isles on sandy shores - no doubt the forms in Ladakh are recognised as a different variety. Stewart tells us at Skardu it grows in the hottest sand with Sophora and Echinops - also grows in Baluchistan and Peshawar. A common desert weed, variable. Spoke too soon and did not check properly - I am getting tired and the pain (which I get for much of every day) is playing up. Let me just get this off too you, then a rest. I note that Dickore & Klimes did not list Salsola kali but two species Salsola tragus and Salsola jacquemontii - not mentioned by Stewart. I was correct in my comment that no doubt the 'forms' in Ladakh are recognised as a different 'variety' - even at species level. I see there is a S.kali subsp. tragus - from which S.tragus no doubt comes. Also known as Kali tragus - and 'Russian Thistle'. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_tragus. Had not realised it was one of the US "tumbleweeds"! Don't currently know how to distinguish between Salsola (or should it be Kali) tragus and S.jacquemontii. Thanks, ..., Seems close as per ... images at Salsola kali subsp. tragus Yes.
SK41JUL21-2016:ID : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2) Enclosing some pictures for identification. Location : Sangam, Leh Date:20 August, 2014 Can it be some Salsola species of Amaranthaceae ? My correct suggestion, which had ended up being included in the previous post, which has 3 (not 2) images, also from Sangam but clearly do not belong to Amaranthanceae (previously Chenopodiaceae). Another one I am struggling - very speculatively Chenopodiaceae (as the family was)? Perhaps even the Salsola (now Kali) I suggested for the other specimens from this location? Which is what ... is also suggesting. Did not find any match as suggested. Just a guess: Elaeoselinum tenuifolium (Lag.) Lange (accepted name) Does not match your guess with images at http://josenaturaleza.blogspot.in/2011/08/distichoselinum-tenuifolium-garcia.html This species look like Mattiastrum thomsonii of Boragenaceae. But I am not sure this is also confusing with Mathiola flavida species of Brassicaceae. This looks like Salsola tragus. References: |
