no flower no fruit only leaves from Alipore 30-05-12 SK1: I admit that i was drawn to the butterfly only and didn’t notice this plant attentively. Cannot tell you how big it was, maybe about 5 feet, likely to be a shrub. But finally, neither could i get a good photograph of the butterfly nor did get the plant as well.
Could it be Duranta sp.?
Species : UNKNOWN
Habit & Habitat : garden plant
Date : 25-05-12, 12.45 p.m.
Place : The Agri-Hort. Soc. of India, Alipore (KOLKATA) could be, but whatever it is …its markedly diseased. the leaves seem to be haphazardly deformed, i see leaf-borer in one and something causing the distortions …malnutrition or infections… I failed to apprehend that the plant could be sick. But, where is the borer, first pic? yes, the second leaf from rt I think you are right. It does appear to be Duranta erecta. Yes it looks like Duranta erecta There are a few Duranta erecta shrubs at Kamarkundu Railway Station (Hooghly), where i board train daily. My assumption was based on my earlier post. Thank you very much for confirming, one more vote for Duranta erecta. My earlier upload of this species.

Very nice! i hope they adapt to the chemical and microwaves of our cell phones and survive. they were here long before hominids even walked upright. we have no right to destroy them. cut down on cell phone use is one way. the other is chemicals in farming and home cleaning, cosmetics and car fuel etc. Thank you … I understand your concern.

These yellow berries with Hibiscus like leaves is common too. I am not sure what this is. Please help.
Dharamshala, HP
21 December 2014 Should be Duranta sp. I spoke with a colleague who is a local here and he said people called it Neelkanta in the local dialect. That would probably make it Duranta erecta ‘variegata’. Please advise. local names do not mean that it speaks of a specific species. and that big a duranta? Duranta erecta L. . |
