Cynanchum tunicatum flowering: Was at my bungalow in Khandala yesterday. Panchali was flowering. Sending a few photographs. I checked the photograph in flowers of India ( link:http:// www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Coated%20Swallow-Wort.html). The plant photographed and identified by .... looks different. I do not know any thing about this plant. One of you may clarify as to which is correct or any eco-typic variation exists This climber was identifed by Dr.Almeida from photographs of a previous years flowering
..., there should be no difference. ... plant has twined around an armed shrub. The difference in leaves among plants in mine and ... photographs are due to their ages. Here are all the views of Cynanchum tunicatum at my flickr photostream: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Cynanchumtunicatum&w=91314344%40N00&m=tags Flowers do not show any difference. This said, others may validate my point. Attached images may be Myriopteron extensum (Wight & Arn.) K. Schum. Please validate. Date :17.11.2013 Location: Assam Family : Apocynaceae Genus & species : Myriopteron extensum (Wight & Arn.) K. Schum. Habitat: Grows wild Habit : Climber (Liana) Fruits :Follicle Looks similar to Cyanachum species. I would rather go with Cynanchum tunicatum. (For the first set of photographs.) I may be wrong though Found in Bangalore (outskirts) August 2014 It is Cynanchum tunicatum (Retz.) Alston References:
