Cleoserrata speciosa and Tarenaya hassleriana looks quite close in efi site. I tried to find the difference between the two, but unable to get them. The sepals are glabrous (Tarenaya hassleriana) or glandular hairy (Cleoserrata speciosa); But I find this character difficult to see clearly. On further searching, I got both species in Flora of North America as per details below: Cleoserrata speciosa (Rafinesque) H. H. Iltis: Plants 50-150 cm. Stems unbranched or sparsely branched ; (fluted), glabrous or sparsely glandular-pubescent. Leaves: petiole 2-12 cm ,(glandular-pubescent); leaflets 5-9, blade narrowly lanceolate-elliptic, 6-15 × 1-5 cm, margins entire or serrulate, apex subobtuse, surfaces glabrate to glandular-pubescent. Racemes 15-50 cm (20-60 cm in fruit, glandular-pubescent); bracts unifoliate, ovate-cordate, 3-18 mm. Pedicels 10-50 mm, (glabrous). Flowers: sepals persistent, green, lanceolate, 4-7 × 0.8-1.2 mm, glandular-pubescent; petals usually brilliant pink to purple, fading to pink or white, rarely initially white, ovate, 15-42 × 8-11 mm, clawed; stamens green, 40-85 mm, (filaments adnate to gynophore 1/3-1/2 of length); anthers 6-10 mm; gynophore 30-85 mm in fruit (filament scars visible ca. 1/4 of length); ovary 6-10 mm; style 1-1.2 mm. Capsules (irregularly contracted between seeds) 60-150 × 3-5 mm. Seeds pale green to brown, 2.5-3.5 × 1-1.2 mm, tuberculate. Tarenaya hassleriana (Chodat) H. H. Iltis: Plants (50-)100-200 cm. Stems sparsely branched; glandular-pubescent. Leaves: stipular spines 1-3 mm; petiole 2.5-7.5 cm, glandular-pubescent, with scattered spines 1-3 mm; leaflets 5 or 7, blade elliptic to oblanceolate, 2-6(-12) × 1-3 cm, margins serrulate-denticulate, apex acute, surfaces glandular-pubescent abaxially, glandular adaxially. Racemes 5-30 cm (10-80 cm in fruit); bracts unifoliate, ovate, 10-25 mm. Pedicels 20-45 mm, glandular-pubescent. Flowers: sepals (reflexed after anthesis), green, linear-lanceolate, 5-7 × 0.8-1.3 mm, glabrous; petals usually pink or purple, sometimes white (or fading to white by second day), oblong to ovate, 20-30(-45) × 8-12 mm; stamens purple, 30-50 mm; anthers 9-10 mm; gynophore 45-80 mm in fruit; ovary 6-10 mm, glabrous; style 0.1 mm. Capsules (25-)40-80 × 2.5-4 mm, glabrous (in straight alignment with gynophore and pedicel). Seeds 10-20, 1.9-2.1 × 1.9-2.1 mm, tuberculate. I have highlighted the difference between the two, which can be observed in bold. I shall be reviewing all our posts based on these differences. Hopefully we are able to sort our species. Giving details from Flora of China: Cleoserrata speciosa (Rafinesque) Iltis: Herbs, annual, 0.5-1.5 m tall. Stems simple or sparsely branched, fluted, glabrous or sparsely glandular pubescent. Petiole 2-12 cm, glandular pubescent; leaflets (3 or)5-9; leaflet blades narrowly lanceolate-elliptic, 6-15 × 1-5 cm, both surfaces glabrate to glandular pubescent, base attenuate, margin entire or serrulate, apex acuminate. Inflorescences 15-50 cm but 20-60 cm in fruit, glandular pubescent; bracts narrowly ovate-cordate, 0.3-1.8 cm. Pedicel 1-5 cm, glabrous. Sepals green, lanceolate, 4-7 × 0.8-1.2 mm, equal, distinct, persistent, glandular pubescent, base cuneate, margin entire. Petals brilliant pink to purple but fading to pink or white by second day, rarely initially white, ovate, 1.5-4.2 × 0.8-1.1 cm, clawed. Androgynophore ca. 4 mm at anthesis; stamens 4-8.5 cm; anthers 6-10 mm. Pistil 6-10 mm; style 1-1.2 mm. Fruit gynophore 3-8.5 cm, with scars from filaments on ca. 1 cm of androgynophore and visible on ca. 1/4 of its length; capsule cylindric but irregularly contracted between seeds, 6-15 cm × 3-5 mm. Seeds 10-30 per capsule, pale green to brown, subspherical, 2.5-3.5 × 1-1.2 mm, tuberculate. Fl. Aug-Nov, fr. Sep-Dec. Tarenaya hassleriana (Chodat) Iltis: Herbs, annual, (0.5-)1-1.5 m tall. Stems branched, glandular pubescent. Stipular spines 1-3 mm. Petiole 2.5-7.5 cm, glandular pubescent, with scattered 1-3 mm spines; leaflets 5 or 7; leaflet blades elliptic to oblanceolate, 2-6(-12) × 1-3 cm, abaxially glandular pubescent, adaxially glandular, margin serrulate-denticulate, apex acute. Inflorescences 5-30 cm but 10-80 cm in fruit, pedunculate; bracts ovate, 1-2.5 cm. Pedicel 2-4.5 cm, glandular pubescent. Sepals green, equal, distinct, linear-lanceolate, 5-7 × 0.8-1.3 mm, reflexed after anthesis, persistent, glandular pubescent, margin entire, apex acuminate. Petals pink to purple but infrequently white or fading to white by second day, oblong to ovate, 2-3(-4.5) × 0.8-1.2 cm, clawed. Stamens purple, 3-5 cm; anthers green, 9-10 mm. Pistil 6-10 mm; style ca. 0.1 mm. Fruit gynophore 4.5-8 cm; capsule (2.5-)4-8 cm × 2.5-4 mm, in straight alignment with gynophore and pedicel, glabrous. Seeds 10-20 per capsule, dark brown to black, triangular to subspherical, 1.9-2.1 × 1.9-2.1 mm, tuberculate. Fl. (Apr-)May-Dec, fr. Jun-Dec. I find some difference between the two floras. Flora of China gives the following keys Androgynophore 5-10 mm; gynophore 2-6 cm; nodal spines absent- Cleoserrata Androgynophore absent; gynophore 4.5-8 cm; nodal spines present - Tarenaya (prickles often present on petiole and major leaf veins). Commendable job, ... It happens with me ...whenever I see a beautiful flower/plant, I forget everything botanical. All I see and record is beauty, and miss all the details. Later on I regret missing all the botanically relevant data. Sometimes I get to pay a second visit, more often I cannot. I am sure it happens with others too. This is the reason inspite of having plenty of images we falter on decisively identifying at species level. With inadequate data and more not coming forth, at times I advise members to stop at Genus and stop guessing species, on facebook. On going through all the posts in efi site, I find that illustrations given in the above links can be misleading. So what really is the simple thing which we can see in our flowers and that should be the key in photographs ? After studying all details, I find stamen colour is quite convincing. Stamen colour purple in Tarenaya hassleriana & green in Cleoserrata speciosa Due to genus keys at Flora of China, insertion of stamen becomes very important. Stamens are inserted together in a club like stub above the bottom in Tarenaya hassleriana, while these are inserted in the bottom in Cleoserrata speciosa. Now I will correct all the posts based on this. Great efforts to find the species !!!! For a non-botanist like me leave aside species, confirming Genus itself is difficult. o then minute details of species is overlooked many a times. keep forgetting the similarities and differences between the species and land in confusion :-). Thanks to all the stalwarts from this wonderful group giving guidance and tips to me all the time. we need to come to some distuinshing features for practical reasons. cant find papers thru bing. may be some taxonomist can help please I have no doubt about what I have stated after one day of research and these are based on very reliable documents like efloras and after studying more than 50 posts in efi site. I did this exercise as there were no keys or differences to be found in net and I found lot of confusion everywhere including those in efi and foi. And it is not only my one day, but also many days of observations (which are there in efi site) by different members. It is just like collecting hundreds of specimens from different parts of the country at different times. Image of Cleome speciosa in FOI should be of Tarenaya hassleriana (Chodat) H. H. Iltis as per efi thread. Pl. correct. This is getting more confusing. I cant believe diagnosis can be based on stamen color only Thanks ..., for sorting out Cleome hassleriana and Cleome speciosa. ... is rightly perplexed. I think one need not go into stamen color. The most easy to note difference between the two is that the petals are clawed in Cleoserrata speciosa, and they are not clawed in Tarenaya hassleriana. What is meant by clawed is that the petals are suddenly constricted at the base, having an apparent "stalk". FOI images of these will be corrected in shortly. Both can clawed as per Flora of China. Pl. see the following. Giving details from Flora of China: Cleoserrata speciosa (Rafinesque) Iltis: Herbs, annual, 0.5-1.5 m tall. Stems simple or sparsely branched, fluted, glabrous or sparsely glandular pubescent. Petiole 2-12 cm, glandular pubescent; leaflets (3 or)5-9; leaflet blades narrowly lanceolate-elliptic, 6-15 × 1-5 cm, both surfaces glabrate to glandular pubescent, base attenuate, margin entire or serrulate, apex acuminate. Inflorescences 15-50 cm but 20-60 cm in fruit, glandular pubescent; bracts narrowly ovate-cordate, 0.3-1.8 cm. Pedicel 1-5 cm, glabrous. Sepals green, lanceolate, 4-7 × 0.8-1.2 mm, equal, distinct, persistent, glandular pubescent, base cuneate, margin entire. Petals brilliant pink to purple but fading to pink or white by second day, rarely initially white, ovate, 1.5-4.2 × 0.8-1.1 cm, clawed. Androgynophore ca. 4 mm at anthesis; stamens 4-8.5 cm; anthers 6-10 mm. Pistil 6-10 mm; style 1-1.2 mm. Fruit gynophore 3-8.5 cm, with scars from filaments on ca. 1 cm of androgynophore and visible on ca. 1/4 of its length; capsule cylindric but irregularly contracted between seeds, 6-15 cm × 3-5 mm. Seeds 10-30 per capsule, pale green to brown, subspherical, 2.5-3.5 × 1-1.2 mm, tuberculate. Fl. Aug-Nov, fr. Sep-Dec. Tarenaya hassleriana (Chodat) Iltis: Herbs, annual, (0.5-)1-1.5 m tall. Stems branched, glandular pubescent. Stipular spines 1-3 mm. Petiole 2.5-7.5 cm, glandular pubescent, with scattered 1-3 mm spines; leaflets 5 or 7; leaflet blades elliptic to oblanceolate, 2-6(-12) × 1-3 cm, abaxially glandular pubescent, adaxially glandular, margin serrulate-denticulate, apex acute. Inflorescences 5-30 cm but 10-80 cm in fruit, pedunculate; bracts ovate, 1-2.5 cm. Pedicel 2-4.5 cm, glandular pubescent. Sepals green, equal, distinct, linear-lanceolate, 5-7 × 0.8-1.3 mm, reflexed after anthesis, persistent, glandular pubescent, margin entire, apex acuminate. Petals pink to purple but infrequently white or fading to white by second day, oblong to ovate, 2-3(-4.5) × 0.8-1.2 cm, clawed. Stamens purple, 3-5 cm; anthers green, 9-10 mm. Pistil 6-10 mm; style ca. 0.1 mm. Fruit gynophore 4.5-8 cm; capsule (2.5-)4-8 cm × 2.5-4 mm, in straight alignment with gynophore and pedicel, glabrous. Seeds 10-20 per capsule, dark brown to black, triangular to subspherical, 1.9-2.1 × 1.9-2.1 mm, tuberculate. Fl. (Apr-)May-Dec, fr. Jun-Dec. Petals are clawed in both. You can see both at Cleoserrata speciosa and Tarenaya hassleriana Main difference is based on the insertion point of stamens as I gave in my analysis. Stamen colour is just one of the difference we can easily rely upon along with other differences. I find this is very easy and correct way based on atleast 50 observations in efi site and as per efloras. Pl. see the main difference between the two genera: Flora of China gives the following keys Androgynophore 5-10 mm; gynophore 2-6 cm; nodal spines absent- Cleoserrata Androgynophore absent; gynophore 4.5-8 cm; nodal spines present - Tarenaya (prickles often present on petiole and major leaf veins). Due to this, stamens are inserted together in a club like stub above the bottom in Tarenaya hassleriana, while these are inserted in the bottom in Cleoserrata speciosa. Now corrected in FOI link.
