Chimmony wildlife sanctuary I hope everybody is looking at this case
this is an example of how to photograph an unknown, and how to give indication of size and provide a background for the tiny flowers at the same time as in pic 261 thanks, I am going to mark it as well done pic set BUT TELL ME, DID THIS NETTLE NOT STING YOUR HANDS ? Acalypha sp It may be Acalypha racemosa. Interesting This species (the id needs confirmation) is reportedly distributed in Tropical Africa, India, Sri Lanka and Java. I have seen it in several locations in the Eastern Ghats. well, … A panniculata is mukto jhuri in bangla
but I had never seen to be so hirsute as in this case Thank you … Somehow missed this identified post.

Please help me for the identification of one Acalypha sp. collected from a semi evergreen forest around 500 m. from Kerala. Acalypha australis? Acalypha racemosa. It is definitely not Acalypha paniculata. It could be A. fruticosa Forssk. However, to confirm the identity one need to study the floral characters, particularly the morphology of bracts. Please dissect out the flowers and follow the key and descriptions given in Flora of India, vol 23, pages 90 – 105. There are line drawings of most species, which would help you to identify. Acalypha fruticosa looks closest! I think Acalypha paniculata Miq. This appears to be Acalypha paniculata Miq., common throughout India, Africa and Sri Lanka
