Glinus oppositifolius form Hooghly: 2 images.

Attaching two sets of pictures, recorded on different days at different places, maybe of the same species, Glinus oppositifolius.

Species : Glinus oppositifolius (L.) Aug. DC.

Habit & Habitat : wild herb, used as leafy vegetable, pondside, also in damp areas around villages

Date : 9/6/12 (set1) & 30/4/12 (set2)

ID help : efi thread 1 and efi thread 2

very nice, ... but in the market we see only white buds ... your picture seems to show pink ones?

the truth is - i thought pink buds belong to some other species, but the post by ... confirmed that they were from same plant.

that thread only shows pink buds... not convinced visually... .// scientifically though taxonomists seem to have made the diagnosis, so i have to agree... but this url shows pink buds and white flowers in the same branch... convincingly:

I fail to remember exactly how big my flowers are, but small surely, used macro, think a bit smaller than Scoparia dulcis.

https://08511630493324166816.googlegroups.com/attach/3f83431009611d74/set1_DSCN5219.jpg?part=0.5&view=1&vt=ANaJVrG2kR6-R9rV3NKMRyEh6wVBOl0Gk6oXKIu8zbX-HQwGQQ6SEQPGAvHfrOj-Y-gmd8NorD3jMIB3vUFjq1LK7d2gINy2E-MgiiVYoNXUz6mCy_ogefA

It appears to me now that the two sets of pictures, uploaded previously (also attached herewith) are of different species. While the second set, prefixed by "set2" and includes two pics, is Glinus oppositifolius, as can be seen at, the first set (prefixed by set1) is definitely some other species.

Please note the difference in leaves and also in carpels. Moreover, the flowers and leaves of Glinus oppositifolius appears to be bigger than the other plant with pink buds.

Attaching two more pics of this yet unknown species, recorded today (06/07/2012). It is not Glinus oppositifolius.

I think both the sets are of Glinus oppositifolius (L.) Aug.DC. as per images herein.

Yes Sir, thank you for the update, the minor differences is possibly due to soil condition.

Glinus sp. ? ID from Hooghly 16/7/12 SK: 7 images.

This is my second post of what i think is a Glinus sp. I collected this plant yesterday from local bazaar. They sell this as DIMESHAK or GIMESHAK. This plant is used as a leafy vegetable and leaves are very bitter tasted.

I searched the net for Glinus species and found a few members -

Glinus species - http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/genus.php?genus_id=552
G. lotoides L. var. lotoides = ".... Flowers in clusters at the nodes, greenish-white, sometimes tinged pink, stamens numerous.." = http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=122900
G. lotoides L. var. virens = http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=122910
G. oppositifolius (L.) DC. var. lanatus = "... distinguished by the woolly crisped hairs in the axils, shorter pedicels, up to 5 mm long and the often smaller, petiolate leaves which are more obovate spathulate..." = http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=122930
G. oppositifolius (L.) DC. var. opoositifolius = ".... Flowers creamy-white, often with a green or brownish line down the petals, in 1-8-flowered axillary clusters on pecicels 6-14 mm long..." = http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=122920

So, i think that the plant attached here maybe Glinus oppositifolius (L.) DC. var. opoositifolius.

My earlier post is at

Species : Glinus oppositifolius (L.) DC. var. opoositifolius ???

Bengali name : DIMESHAK or GIMESHAK

Habit & Habitat : wild herb, collected from local market

Date : 15/7/12, 11.34 A.M.

Place : Hooghly

yes, gime-shak

One interesting aspect of this Glinus taxa is -

flowers are having "Tepals" = G. oppositifolius in Flora of China = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242323482
Tepals also in G. lotoides in Flora of China = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=220005631

But in Flora of Pakistan and Flora of North America it is "Sepals" (and obviously there will be petals !!!) -

The Plant List doesn't recognise Pharnaceum mollugo L. - http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2547911. But, it is GHIMI SHAK in Hortus Suburbanus Calcuttensis, and GHIMA SHAK in Flora Indica.

Bengal Plants equates it with Mollugo spergula L. and M. verticillata F. I. i. 360.

Mollugo pentaphylla?

Thanks ... Glinus oppositifolia and Mollugo pentaphylla look very similar. I am confused. Hoping for clarity.

thanks ... for nice depiction

Does not matches with images at Stellaria media (L.) Vill.

It is not Stellaria media;

It looks like Glinus oppositifolius of Molluginaceae

one of my friend send it to me.

location: kolkata, WB 5/6/17

Mullago (Pl. Check the spelling) or related genera?

Thank you sir. I have forgotten that name. Yes close similarity to Mollugo pentaphyla

correction: More close similarity with Glinus oppositifolius from molluginaceae. Leaf not matching with mollugo

It is Glinus oppositifolius

I agree with Glinus oppositifolius...

Plant for ID 11/06/2012 SMP1: On looking at ... latest post I thought about sharing my possibly unidentified plant captured near Pen Maharashtra.
Is it also Trianthema portulacastrum?
A small prostrate herb Flower size 5mm or so

plant shape is different esp the distal end...

This is Glinus latoides of Molluginaceae. Flowers open only at 4 pm.

Yes it is Glinus lotoides

Can it be Glinus oppositifolius? The leaves don't look right for Glinus lotoides, and I'm not sure but I think the flowers in the pictures have 5 stamens.

I spotted this creeper which was spreading like lawn in parking area in Pali Konkan.
On looking at the photographs in magnified version I could enjoy its beauty.
Along with this there were some Heliotropium herbs nearby.

... a wild and vague guess ... some ¿ Glinus species ?

Its a species of Mollugo

Thanks, ...

Links for pix of Mollugo: http://images.google.co.in/images?hl=en&q=Mollugo&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
As per Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mollugo

It comprises a few dozen species of herbaceous plants, including Mollugo verticillata, carpetweed or green carpetweed.

Thanks ... Any idea whether it is native or weed?

I think should be Glinus oppositifolius (L.) Aug.DC. as per images herein and as per another thread on the same plant at Plant for ID 11/06/2012 SMP1
