Bauhinia tenuiflora, a liana with hooked tendrils and cute white flowers, from Manipur


Thanks … for showing such nice collection of plants from Manipur. We were long longing to see more and more plants from Eastern Himalayas


Yes …, as you know NE India is rich in biodiversity and harbours about 50 % of India’s species diversity. Its a paradise not only for botanists also for any plant lovers. Takhtajan aptly described the region as “cradle of flowering plants” owing to its richness in flora.

Very nice. I’ve not seen this species before. Is it a large, heavy climber or smaller?


It’s a gentle liana, not very robust like B. vahlii.
Synonym: B. glauca subsp. tenuiflora.


Nice photographs.
Do have a look at following link. I had come across this plant in Mizoram.

Caesalpiniaceae

It is Bauhinia glauca (Wall. ex Benth.) Benth. subsp. tenuiflora (Watt ex C.B. Clarke) K. Larsen & S.S. Larsen. as per thread.  Thanks a lot, …
