Inflorescence FOR ID :: Iruppu Falls, Coorg :: 12 NOV 19 : 6 posts by 3 authors. 2 images. Iruppu Falls Coorg Date: November 12, 2019 ... Altitude range: about 850 - 1,000 m (2,800 - 3,300 ft) asl ¿ Dioscorea sp. ? Dear friends, I am assuming the inflorescence seen in posted pictures belong to Dioscorea, and this is a very bad guess. There is a mix of many leaves - Dioscorea, Clematis / Naravelia and many others. The branched inflorescence also reminds me of moonseed family member - Diploclisia. I will be glad to know ID just to family level. so which is the dioscorea leaf? In the first picture, a stem runs from bottom centre to top centre. There are 4 half folded leaves on the stem. They are Dioscorea leaves. Here attached is the photo with red circles over the 4 leaves that I mentioned in earlier message, plus another 2 leaves on the stem bearing the inflorescence. Inflorescence of posted plant resembles that of Dioscorea oppositifolia ... those familiar with Dioscorea spp. may please comment. Attachments (1) I am inclined towards Clematis / Naravelia . OK, ... We will wait for comments. |
