Lillaceae from Valparai for identification 200712MK01:
Please help me to identify this Lillaceae plant found in wet forest floor. first I thought this could be a grass, but its not. Is this any Scilla sp.?
The whole plant not exceeding 20cm and leaves were of 1cm broad. The flowers were 1.5cm across. Is this a native species?
Place: Vaalparai, TN
Habitat: wet evergreen
Date: 12 July 2012
Alt.: 970 m asl
This could be Ophiopogon intermedius D. Don (Haemadoraceae)
I could collect the same species from Valpparrai last week. I could see a large number of plants on the way to Valparrai from Sholayar
I read the descriptions from K M Matthew flora on An excursion Flora of Central Tamilnadu, India and got confirmed this as Ophiopogon intermedius D. Don. Thanks ...; but there are three varieties reported from Tamil Nadu i.e var. intermedius, var.gracilipes, var.pauciflorus. I don't have good pictures now to classify unto variety level. If key is available, I could check it in the field.
I agree with ...

VOF Week: Herb for Id: This tiny herb, with small white flowers was shot from near Village Bhyunder on Gobind Ghat-Ghanghriya Trek...hope to get id... to me this looks like a Liliaceae member...
I do have few more clicks of this plant with leaves..but due to some technical problem, for now, I could not access them..may be ... can upload few better pics..with habit....
Could it be Iphigenia?
Here are some more pics
IIphigenia indica if this link is correct
http://www.plant.csdb.cn/photo?creator=gaf_clvoer
Not so if we believe Flowers of India and Flora of China
What about Chlorophytum. Not aware about the occurrence in VOF though.
At first glance, my thought was same as ... -- Chlorophytum.
On second look, the central structure looks different.
Chlorophytum nepalese (syn: C. undulatum) is reported from Nepal eastwards.
Ophiopogon intermedius - Liliaceae - Himalayan Turf Lily
Thanks a lot... this is quite a convincing lead...

*Himalayan Lily Turf? ABJUN01/06 : 10 posts by 4 authors. 2 images.
Is this the Himalayan Lily Turf, Ophiopogon intermedius? Please advise.
Above Mcleodganj, HP, 1800m
13 June 2015
Certainly in Ophiopogon genus. O.intermedius have white flowers.
Ophiopogon species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) 
Most are white in colour. Here is one from today. 1 image.
Reflecting back on pink flowers, could it be a similar looking Theropogon pallidus? While most here are white and could be O. intermedius the pink variety could be T. pallidus. Please advise.
It is surely Ophiopogon intermedium
Today I found a delicate stem carrying a cluster of bright blue berries. Tracing the stem to the ground, I found it to be solitary. Last year I had remembered some Ophiopogon intermedius growing in that spot and believe these berries to belong to that species. Please advise.

It should be O. intermedius D.Don (=O.wallichianus (Kunth) Hook.f.) which is common in subtropical and temperate forests in the area.
These blue berry like structures are seeds (not fruits) as after seed setting ovary wall splits and ovules comes out.
I expressed my doubt initially as I have seen this plant in two forms- one with white flowers and other with lilac or bluish flowers. I thought the blue flowered plants may be a different species.
Nice pics!
I have seen both colours at Shimla
The little green seeds are forming on these too. I had shared a cluster of bright-blue seeds in February and now I am sharing them forming on the plant. 3 images.
Thanks, ..., for sharing the complete life cycle through your beautiful lens.
Seen these tiny fruits for the first time.

Pl. check with Ophiopogon intermedius
Flower seems to match. Pl. check with the leaves as these are not clearly visible.
I guess it matches. Anyone can give the final verdict.

This plant resembles the Ophiopogon but has 3-4 pink flowers on pale-white stems. Could this be a Theropogon? Please advise.

Seems to be Ophiopogon only.
Thank you ... Which Ophiopogon sp. is it likely to be? These flowers started coming out just as O. intermedius plants started developing fruits. The flowers are always pink and much less in number than O. intermedius. I see them everywhere now. Please advise.
To me it appears to be closer to Ophiopogon intermedius only (the only species so far in efi). It is having four varieties as per Karthikeyan, S., Jain, S.K., Nayar, M.P. and Sanjappa, M. 1989 as per link: Ophiopogon
Thank you very much. The varieties will explain the difference in timing, number of flowers and the colour.

How to differentiate between 3 Ophiopogons ?

May be you find keys in Flora of Bhutan. 
Yes but difficult through keys !
Pl. send me the keys, I shall try. 
I had already sent the whole set pdf version of book . I hope you have received it !

Yes, ... I have received it. But if you send the keys, it will save some of my time.
I did not find the keys in the FOB.
OK, ...
Could not find the keys, But tried to find out the difference from two species listed in China:
Roots sometimes with fleshy, tuberous part near tip. Rhizome short, thick. Leaves basal, tufted, sessile, grasslike, 15--55(--70) cm × 3--15 mm, 5--9-veined, base attenuate, margin usually serrulate; leaf tufts usually surrounded by brownish, membranous sheaths. Scape (15--)20--50 cm, sometimes slightly flattened and narrowly 2-winged. Inflorescence a reduced panicle, (2.5--)5--16 cm, many flowered; bracts subulate, linear, or lanceolate, basal one 1.5--4 cm. Flowers in clusters of 2 or 3 or sometimes solitary; pedicel 4--7 mm, articulate proximally or at middle. Tepals white or purplish, oblong, ovate, or ovate-lanceolate, 4--7 × 2--2.5 mm. Filaments very short; anthers 2--4 mm. Style 3--4 mm. Seeds ellipsoid. Fl. May--Aug, fr. Aug--Oct. 2 n = 36*, 54, 68, 72*, 108*, 112.
GBIF (high resolution specimen)
Plants stoloniferous. Roots slender, usually with fusiform, tuberous part near middle or tip. Leaves basal, tufted, sessile, grasslike, 7--30 cm × 2--3 mm, 5--7-veined, margin slightly serrulate. Scape 10--20 cm. Inflorescence a reduced panicle, 2--3 cm, 2--5-flowered; bracts lanceolate to narrowly ovate, basal one 6--7 mm. Flowers solitary or paired; pedicel 4--5 mm, articulate at or below middle. Tepals white, ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 7--8 × 2.5--3.5 mm. Filaments ca. 1.5 mm; anthers ca. 4.5 mm. Style basally slightly widened. Fl. Jun--Jul. 2 n = 36*, ?38.
GBIF (high resolution specimen)
Ophiopogon parviflorus (Hook.f.) H.Hara is treated as syn. of synonym for Ophiopogon intermedius D.Don (considered to be a very variable species), by Catalogue of Life.  
In view, I may like to go for Ophiopogon intermedius D. Don for this plant, based on coloured observations. For other differences, you may check with your observations of measurements.

Thank you ...
