Urginea indica: Urginea indica Local marathi names: Rankanda, Kochinda Ranpalandu Today at Ratnagiri,Maharashtra In Tamil it is known as Kaattuvengayam or Narivengayam. This plant has medicinal properties and used in Siddha medicines: “An effective Siddha remedy for Cough, Bronchial ailments, Piles, Fistula etc.” Lilliaceae for identification 210412MK02: Please help me to identify this herb found on the scrub forest floor in Salem district of TN. I could not locate the leaves but only peduncle with flowers. I saw this on a hot sunny day of 12 Apr 2012. Locale: 11.90296 N; 78.15266 E Altitude: 432 M ASL Drimia indica in flowering, I think. Drimia indica may be accepted name for Urgenia indica. Thank you for updating the nomenclature. Still there is a doubt which one correct? Dr. Hemadri discovered one species from Andhra Pradesh and given naming as Urgenia raogibikei Hemadri Sp. Nov. Drimia indica is the accepted name, as per The Plant List (with full confidence!!!) http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-304999 [If possible please send me a copy of the article to learn about the plant Urginea raogibikei. I understand (from the web) that it has been named in honor of GBK Rao, CMD of Pragati Resorts in AP for his remarkable contributions in plant conservation]. In an major revision of the genus in 2004 ( J.C.Manning & Goldblatt, Edinburgh J. Bot. 60: 556 2003 publ. 2004. and some earlier papers) all species of Urginea have been shifted to Drimia. ..., I have tried to find the name Urginea raogibikei, it is in none of the online databases including IPNI. By the way species novo is written only in the original paper, and when referring to it we don't use the term species novo, rather give the reference or simply year of publication. It is logical, because every species on earth was species novo when first published. And yes if Urginia raogibikei has been published recently, some one may publish a combination for it under genus Drimia. Yes, you are right. Dr. Hemadri has published in his Medicinal Plants Pragati Resorts Book. Dr. Hemadri was somewhat reserved person. I will try my level best to get that article. Ran-kanda रान- कांदा I found this Liliaceae member growing at many places in the forest near sea coast of Devbagh Karwar in April 2012 Please validate. The height of the shrub was around 4-5 feet.

The Bulb is having itching effect if comes in contact to human body. Location: Radiyawas, Rajasthan (60 km from the Ajmer) Area : Forest are having scrubby vegetation. Habitat: Hill Slopes with low soil depth it may be bulb of Drimia spp I have been wondering about this bulb, first rejected the case as no data in no data out kind of case ... but it lingered in my consciousness ... more as a a challenge.. since ....Deep in the recesses of memory it said its the gout medicine bulb... very poisonous. itching is common when crystals are readily available to effect skin... such as in roots/fingers of Gloriosa lily and autumn crocus... COLCHICINE is the culprit... But the member who submitted this gave no other information... was it looked for by him or was it accidental discovery or did some local farmer or laborer or a student bring it to his attention ???? was someone poisoned??? ...such details are important ...to know and must accompany the case when submitted ... Then it would not have perhaps languished in unknown territory for seven days...!!!!! Back to my memory bank and question arose: would it grow in Rajasthan a desert state? googling got me the answers to my memory recesses and the desert question Its most likely the Autum crocus or meadow saffron... flowers lack the magenta stigma of true saffron crocus flowers. This is most likely Colchicum autumanle or Colchicum lueum ....family Colchicaceae of Liliales order. c. autumnale is found in Eur-asian regions... the bulb referred to in old vernacular Ayurvedic books is Colchicum luteum.. Ancients knew of it, to use as a herbal remedy for gout... and even the bible has a quote about it...I quote ... The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. Isaiah 35:1-2 - "" end quote i need to run, cant type up the vernacular books names citations etc etc etc ... you have to search yourself... very toxic, behaving as arsenic and other toxins, no known antidote per wikipedia. Hope this helps The plant is from Rajasthan and during this seasons no leaf and flowers are available. The impact on human was given by a local person and he didn't allow me to touch the bulbs. The locals also not using this for any medical preparation. The Colchicum sp. are mostly from the Himalayan region and having small bulb. This bulb is of various size and resembles like white big onion.

Resemble to Drimmia indica. Not know whether D.indica is distributed in temperate elevations in Himachal Pradesh. Basal rosette of leaves is not photographed. Probably lacking at flowering time (?). Leaves develop after flowering is over in D.indica (=Urginea indica). Drimmia (Urgenia) indica is in flowering these days in Shimla hills.
