To me looks different from images at Acalypha wilkesiana Müll.Arg.
Can it be Acalypha paniculata Miq. as per images herein or some other species ?

This is definitely Acalypha wilkesiana Mull.Arg. This species show much variation in colour and patterns on leaves. There are several cultivars and no workable classification is available,

Pune May 2012
Found these 3 different bees (I do not know their names) foraging the leaves of Acalypha wilkesiana forma circinata. They did not visit the flowers at all. They were hardly moving as if glued to the leaves. The 3rd bee after 2 hours was found foraging the underside of the leaf. There were many other plants around but these bees were not interested in them. Wonder what exactly they were looking for?


may be there are white flies laying eggs

The following site mentions that the male flowers are in long spikes which hang downwards

A very colorful tropical shrub grown for its attractive reddish leaves. Beautiful foliage of various shades of red, yellow and green. Cultivars of A. wilkesiana, which can grow as tall as 7FT, are found in a wide variety of colors: green and white, green and yellow, red, bronze, coppery, or brown. The leaves also vary in form, some being flat and others undulating, while the flowers are inconspicuous.
In a garden, where they are often used as informal hedges or in massed beds,
all Acalypha species require full sun, well-drained soil, and careful pruning to prevent them from becoming leggy. They are easily propagated by cuttings.

Okay.

Could it be some Acalypha?


yes this is Acalypha


Can it be Acalypha wilkesiana ?


The tree is not Acalypha wilkesiana. A.w. is a shrub (many varieties/colours) commonly planted as hedge in gardens.


Acalypha wilkesiana as per another thread.

…………….auct. inside, wilkesiana outside
Nice photographs but consider especially the spike

Female bracts entire, minute; inflorescences to 30 cm long, dense-flowered, with massed red styles Acalypha hispida
+ Female bracts toothed, accrescent; inflorescences to 12 cm long, lax flowered, styles yellowish- or greenish-white, occasionally reddish  5 Acalypha wilkesiana

Yes Sir, but I did the reverse because googling “Acalypha musaica auct.” gives the desired result first, as in ‘TopTropicals’!
And also yes, I didn’t check the KEY, but more elaborate description can also be found in http://www.nationaalherbarium.nl/Acalypha.htm.


Is it Acalypha hispida finally ?


Conspicuous toothed female bracts in lax flowered pistillate spike indicates it is Acalypha wilkesiana Muell. Arg.


As per Flora of India volume 23, it is Acalypha amentacea ssp. wilkesiana.


Thank you very much Sir for the accepted name in Flora of India.

Thank you … for leading to the ID.
I am taking it as Acalypha wilkesiana ‘Inferno’ (Euphorbiaceae).
Other A.wilkesiana produce inflorescence here (though sterile), but not this one. I will keep close eye on it to ensure.

One of the varieties of Acalypha wilkesiana. There are innumerable varieties in this species.


Thanks, …, for the id.
There are two plants.
One with broad leaves is Acalypha wilkesiana as identified by you.
2nd one is not clear. May be Melicope denhamii or Codiaeum variegatum
Hi, …, Pl. post a high resolution image of the 3rd image to check the details.

These are all Acalypha only, why the leaves are turning this way is a mystery.
I found Acalypha godseffiana ‘Heterophylla’ images on searching that look similar.
Will post the original.

I think more closer to Melicope denhamii as per details herein.

For me the images are different and not comparable with the posted ones.


I was talking of narrow leaf plant.


Not Melicope denhamii. This is Acalypha only.
There is a lake close by, where many cultivated Acalypha are planted.

I do not know this species of Acalypha. The third image looks different.


I have tried to crop the third image.
The mature leaves are normal, only the later ones look like they are shredded.
You can see a few normal leaves.

I do not know this plant.


I could click more pictures today.
It clearly shows some leaves normal, and the others as if they are shredded.
