the picture is from Anshi Wildlife Century. Please identify the plant. Could be immature flowers of Entada rheedii, Agree with ...
Flowering: April nature: Wild Location: Mymensing, 2016 It looks like Entada rheedii Spreng Thanks, ... You have a keen eye.
The lofty Entada rheedii is an immense kinetic force in the riverine valley of Tungareshwar. The undulating limbs of this woody climber traverse an enormous expanse of the forest, coiling past a multitude of trees and shrubs, ascending, descending, and transcending, inward and outward, all at the same time, sculpting space with the possibilities of exuberance. Observed in Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary on the 15th of May, 2016 (courtesy of ...). Wow really giant. Reminds me of my visit to Phansad where I have taken the flower pictures shared long back on the group. Thanks, ..., for your comments. Enjoyed seeing your pictures from Phansad. Great images ...! saw earlier with pods in Phansad wls few years back, I think it was somewhere near Chikhalgan. But never saw this in Tungareshwar wls thanks for sharing. Will love to see its flowering ! Thanks for sharing!Thanks, ..., for your kind comments. I'm also eager to see it in peak flower next year. very nice, ... Thanks for the older link, ... got to see your pictures. Such a tiny flower gives rise to such huge bean!!! these vines makes me believe in what Rudyard kipling may be describing in that the man-cub and the black panthere were swinging from... may be even Tarzan's feats can be credulously imagined... not just a fantasy.
The climbing Entada rheedii has been past its peak florescence with a profusion of withered flower spikes pervading the forest floor. Only a few springtime sprigs lingered in the blazing summer sun. The fresh flowers bear white stamens that turn yellow. The fruit was elusive except for a solitary pod high up in the ramifications of the forest. Observed in Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary on the 15th of May, 2016 (courtesy of ...). Thank you ... for wonderfully presenting Entada rheedi. Appreciate your pictures as well as the apt description.. This liana always fascinated me. I still have a seed of entada which I had picked up from the forest floor years ago. Many thanks, ..., for your kind comments. It is a fascinating plant indeed. these seeds are sold in puja samgri stores here some times used to iron the thin mulmul (addy cotton) kurta sleeves here in bengal. nothing else works.That is interesting. Curious to know the name under which it is sold in Bengal. The process of wrinkling is called GILE and the fruit is called Gilephal (in Bangali script it is ... গীলেফল and in Hindi script you read it as गीलेफल). but next time i go to that bazaar i will definitely ask and write it down if there is any colloquial botanical name. lI'll et you know unless ... knows it. just added him in the address. Bapalal Vaidya in his Nighantu Adarsh book mentions an elephant creeeper and describes what seems to be this vine. he says its name in bengal is GILA and in Assam: GIla-leva. But spells it as Entada phaseoloides Merrill syn. of E. Scandens. (page 355, in its Purvardha volume). He says it grows in Assam, Himalayas and Andaman islands. I found these two last names listed as synonyms in this site. Thank you, ..., for all the interesting information. I got the seeds sold as Paparan kottai in Kolli hills when I visited recently that can be used for leg pain. (Entada.Jpg attached -Photo taken by me). If you know Tamil: else read the attachment in English. Another article in net: Very nice presentation, ... It was bit over detailed. I will try to summarize it and publish ASAP as I was bit exhausted converting Tamil to English.

Looks more like Pandanus 2. Olea dioica? or Cassine glauca? 6. ... is right, its most likely Entada 7. Agree with Pankaj, Terminalia tomentosa 8. Syzigium philaroides i.e. Eugenia mooniana 9. Could be seeds of Garcinia morella or some sapotaceae such as Crysophyllum 10. Looks like seed of Strychnos but its too large as compared to the fruit 11. Knema attenuata Entada rheedei VS. Entada scandens: Are both: Entada (rheedei and scandens) find distributed in our country ? Are they native ? Any easy key to differentiate them ? - Entada scandens is a synonym of E.rheedei. It is fairly widely distributed all over the country and recently encountered it even in the Garo Hills, Meghalaya. Check for it in Khandala & Phansad. - Let me add, E. scandens auct. non Bth. is a synonym of E. rheedei Spreng. The distribution is C. and E. Himalayas, Nepal, W. ghats and Sri Lanka. - Common name sea bean and African dream herb. I have seen this in Tamil Nadu (outskirts of Chennai on many locations) and of course in Karnataka also. Sea Bean is native to South Asia, Africa and Australia. Its leaves are dried and smoked to induce vivid dreams. That is why the name African Dream Herb. - Did not know about E. scandens auct. non Bth My query arose because Entada scandens does not appear as a synonym at NPGS / GRIN ... http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?412130 AND Entada scandens (L.) Benth. is put as synonym of Entada phaseoloides (L.)

A bit far: Karnala ... and possibly in some core parts of Tungar hills.
Lianas: Lianas or huge climbers. Western ghats are known for these. Phansad has amazing collection of many of these. The species which we all (....) observed in Phansad on 20th March2011 included Entada rheedi Combretum extensum Caesalpinia cucullata Diploclisia glaucescens Gnetum scandens Hiptage benghalensis Sharing some of the views indicating their old age. - Surely it is Entada rheedii, largest pod bearing Liana - Here are the photographs of largest pods
Posting a photo for Id of pod. It is called गारंबी in Marathi and it seems to be known as the largest pod in the world? Date / Time – 02.12.2011 / 04.00 pm.

wonderful to see it thriving... thank you for sharing.... but lianas in jungle need sturdy trees around to anchor themselves and grow on... what trees were there to support this liana that you photographed?

SK1319 25 JUL 2018 : 9 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (6) Location: Osho, Balaju, Raniban' Nepal Altitude : 4600 ft. Date: 7 June 2018 Habit : Wild entada sp??? It is not matching with any Entada since it is not climber rather a medium size tree. Any suggestion for matching flower ? Not matching to the following listed in Nepal. Entada laotica Entada pursaetha On closer scrutiny, I feel it may be Entada rheedii Spreng. only climbing on this tree. Entada phaseoloides (L.) Merr. given in Checklist of Nepal may be wrong as it does not have distribution as per latest databases like Flora of China and ILDIS;
As per Catalogue of Life also, Entada phaseoloides sensu auct. is the misapplied name for Entada rheedii Spreng. Entada rheedii subsp. sinohimalensis (Grierson & D.G.Long) Panigrahi ??Syn : Entada pursaetha subsp. sinohimalensis Grierson & D.G.Long ?? :referenced Entada pursaetha subsp. sinohimalensis Grierson & D.G.Long in in Fabaceae in Table 1 in following paper as item 298 in Traditional use and management of NTFPs in Kangchenjunga Landscape: implications for conservation and livelihoods Yadav Uprety1*, Ram C. Poudel2, Janita Gurung3, Nakul Chettri3 and Ram P. Chaudhary1,4 in Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:19 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0089-8 For that we have to find out the differences between Entada rheedii subsp. sinohimalensis and Entada rheedii ssp. rheedii I could not find these on net. If any book is available with you, pointing these out, pl. let us know. Both these subspecies have distribution in Nepal as per ILDIS: However, Flora of China (where ILDIS gives distribution of both) gives E. pusaetha var. sinohimalensis (Grierson & D. G. Long) C. Chen & H. Sun as a syn. of Entada rheedii Sprengel. No other subspecies is mentioned except the type subspecies i.e. Entada rheedii ssp. rheedii. One book reference, which I could find i.e. CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants: Common Names ... By Umberto Quattrocchi (2016), also mentions Entada pursaetha subsp. sinohimalensis Grierson & D.G.Long & Entada pursaetha subsp. sinohimalensis (Grierson & D. G. Long) C. Chen & H. Sun as a syn. of Entada rheedii Spreng. only. yes ... its a long search with almost the same results. I dont have any old books on the subject 13 September 2018. I guess the leaves are from different (Host) plant. Hence the correct ID seems to be Entada rheedii Spreng. Attachments (3) - 700 kb each. ok. if you happen to be at the same location 6 , 8 or 9 months after you took pictures of the flowers you would see those tell tale long gigantic bean fruits and voila, that would be your own confirmation I shall keep in mind.

Viplav has shown the ripe, brown seed in his thread in May 20019 == seeds are called GILA ... in bagla language. they are sold in Kolkata in puja samagri stores, in reducing numbers. were used by ironing outfits that produced wrinkled sleeves of addy cloth for Bangalee Bhadrolok. it used to be my grandfather and uncles" favorite summer punjabi kurta, called Gila kora Kurta /panjabi. on the internet i can not find even a single picture. not even Uttam Kumar wearing one, which i have seen him wear thousands of time, he was my mama's neighbour and he wore it in may movies. if i had found one, it would be an interesting ethnobotany picture References:
