Schefflera hypoleuca (Kurz) Harms, Nat. Pflanzenfam. 3(8): 38 1894. (Syn: Heptapleurum hypoleucum Kurz);
Manipur identifications 2: This was a Schefflera sp. between Imphal and Ukhrul. Any ideas, or perhaps a list of species native to Manipur? This is Araliaceae but not Schefflera. This could be an Aralia sp. I am 100% sure it is a Schefflera ... I have seen a virtually identical species in Vietnam and a very similar species (in leaf) in China, for example. Google Schefflera delavayi to see a similar leaf shape. We found 4 species of Schefflera in Manipur, one of them being S. rhododendrifolia, but the others remain a mystery. It is definitely not an Aralia sp., many species of which I have grown and many more I've seen wild. A very different leaf morphology. Are there no species lists for certain Indian States? I see Flora of Manipur online has been started, but has a long way to go... According to that, these Schefflera are not endemic to Manipur alone, so should be known from other States. I also feel that it is Arelia, not Schefflera. Please check Brassaiopsis of Araliaceae. Schefflera hypoleuca (Kurz) Harms = Heptapleurum hypoleucum Kurz. Young plants show this feature. Obviously a variable species across its range, but I am convinced. Many thanks ...
Kindly request you to identify with scientific name. This photo has been taken in East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya. Was this a small tree? Can't make out the leaves completely. Looks like an Araliaceae member. Trevesia sp?? Are there some other photos of this plant? Thank you for the information. I don't have any other photos of this plant. In my opinion this appears to be an Araliaceae member. Likely to be either Brassiopsis sp or something close by. |
