Seen this plant hanging down from a big tree. Could be some Parasitic plant?? Date/Time: 19-01-2010 / 04:00PM Location: Mabhige, North Karnataka Habitat: Wild. Lepisanthes umbellata, a climbing shrub of Papaveraceae. A new plant for me I had no ideae papaveraceae had climbers I see some confusion somewhere. Lepisanthes is a genus of Family Sapindaceae, trees and shrubs. I see no match for Lepisanthes umbellata in IPNI, GRIN or even Kew Plant list The only reference I found in the link indicated below, a member of Piperaceae, I think again in error Perhaps you can throw some light. Extremely sorry for the error. Pls read as Lepianthes umbellata (L.) A mix up in excitiment. Lepianthes umbellata (L.) Raf. is now Pothomorphe umbellata (L.) Miq. and it is Piperaceae and not Papaveraceae. Hope now this is on dot. Yes ... Now I know where the error lies in the link I had forwarded. Just a small doubt, "What we see in the photographs i posted are fruits, leaves or something else?" - They are flowers, or rather inflorences similar to Pepper. - I think we can see a few leaves in the last photograph. They should look like these: Thanks ... I don't think i would have ever come closer to this ID myself. I was initially thinking it to be some parasitic climber. Thanks ... for sorting out this mystery. References: |
