Submitting images of a specimen which I DO NOT BELIEVE IS Macrosolen spp for identification. Date/time:24-06-2015 / About 2-00PM Location: Mullaiyanagiri, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1700msl Habitat: Wild, Shola forest Habit; A parasitic shrub Please check probability of Elytranthe parasitica (L.) Danser - The threads on Elytranthe capitellata on efloraofindia, the info contained in Flowers of India and the Digital Flora of Karnataka, point the identity of the specimen in this thread towards Elytranthe capitellata...! Check carefully again :-) If you still think it is E. c. then I must be wrong! So, my dear friend, you think your species is Elytranthe capitellata! Can you confirm these, please, in the attached images? No... I, being a non-botanist, am not conversant with botanical description...I only went by the images in some other threads and the images in FOI and the digital flora of Karnataka...still learning the tricks of the trade...! Going by what the experts say....!!!Thanks again for the inputs and guidance. Thanks for the analysis and info I also think it should be E. parasitica (as pointed out by ...) as per keys & illustration at:
It is my pleasure to share a few images of Macrosolen capitellatus (Loranthaceae) Habit: Epiphytic, parasitic shrub Habitat: Shola forest Sighting: Mullaianagiri, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1700 msl Date: 24-06-2015, 30-06-2015 and 26-09-2015 I would rather prefer to call it Elytranthe capitellata (Wight & Arn.) Engl. for the sessile flowers and presence of bracts subtending the peduncles. It should be E. parasitica as per another thread: Loranthaceae_Mullaiyanagiri_24-6-2015 for ID assistance
Revisited the specimen that was earlier identified as Elytranthe capitellata (Loranthaceae) in the efl page. Presenting a couple of fruiting images. Sighting: Mullaianagiri, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1700 msl Date: 29-12-2015 It should be E. parasitica as per another thread: Loranthaceae_Mullaiyanagiri_24-6-2015 for ID assistance |
