August 2014

Pimpinella wallichiana (Miq) Gandhi (= P. monoica Dalz), fruits papillose is reported from Tidiandmul area in the Coorg flora
This id needs to be reconsidered for the following reasons:
The fruit is just too large. Pimpinella wallachiana fruits are 2-3mm.
The leaf is 3 lobed whereas in Pimpinella wallachiana it is triangular & trifoliate (lower leaves).
The images are dated August 2014 (no day is mentioned) even so P wallachiana flowers/fruits much later in November-January (at least in Maharashtra).
Am unable to give an alternate id currently.
Same images are available as Pimpinella wallichiana at FOI & Flora of Karanataka at
Advised both FOI and Flora of Karanataka for correction as images appear close to images at Heracleum rigens Wall. ex DC.
