VOF Week: Phyllanthus for id from Rishikesh-Joshimath highway:
This was shot during out halt at a place near Karanprayag….which Phyllanthus sp. this can be??

---

Phyllanthus urinaria, I think.

---

I have posted what I believe is Phyllanthus urinaria at the thread posted.
Have a number of queries on my post which I hope will be answered.
Feel your post is Phyllanthus sp. but not urinaria (don’t know what it is).
It may be a good idea to post this plant again in Euphorbiaceae Fortnight to avail expert opinion.

---

Phyllanthus urinaria.

---

Is this Phyllanthus urinaria L., Phyllanthus urinaria var. hookeri (Müll.Arg.) Hook.f. or is it Phyllanthus urinaria subsp. urinaria.

---

Bogus names. Please remember that all other attributes are bogus. Even Phyllanthus nozeranii, being promoted by …, Andhra Pradesh is a bogus name. A widespreread species can always have variations.

---

Thanks … for finally concluding he id.. thanks … for digging out the old mail …..

Phyllanthus urinaria L. @ Tungareshwar; ref. Fl.Maharashtra, MR Almeida
The plant list gives 2 other accepted names Phyllanthus urinaria var. hookeri (Müll.Arg.) Hook.f. and Phyllanthus urinaria subsp. urinaria – not sure how to separate the three i.e. on what characteristics.

---

Did find part of the answer but a better informed view welcome:
”Phyllanthus urinaria var hookeri; taller and larger in all its parts, 1-1.5 ft. high, stem terete with
simple long erect angled branches, filaments wholly connate.’ (ref.: FBI 5:294).

Since the fruits are tuberculate here, it is Phyllanthus urinaria.
The fruits are smooth in P. debilis. Of course they have other differences as well.

Phyllanthus urinaria L.

ID requested: Phyllanthaceae: 3 images.

Also check for Phyllanthus amarus ???

---

I agree with … for urinaria, … in amaraus fruit is not echinate,

I did not suggest the ID. But suggested to also check the possibility.

---

Ok …

---

This is Phyllanthus urinaria only. You are saying that the leaves are looking different but this shape and size fall well within the range of variation of the species.
