Schott (Araceae) is a common climber in lower hills of Uttarakhand. Nice showing another interesting plant. Location: Soureni, India Date: 7 May 2018 Altitude: 4000 ft. Habit : Wild Does not match with images of Rhaphidophora glauca at Pl. check at Araceae Couple of friends guessed it as same. But I have no idea. Pl. check at Scindapsus officinalis (Roxb.) Schott as per comparative images at Araceae. I think close. Looks like matching but a vast difference in the elevation. Can we confirm about the elevation from some other source? http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=220012251 Pl. also check if it is cultivated. Elevation can not be so low as per distribution map at http://e-monocot.org/taxon/urn:kew.org:wcs:taxon:188567 References: The Plant List Ver.1.1 WCSP GRIN India Biodiversity Portal |
