Kas Week : Herb : ID Pl: Nice pictures! Congrats for finding a rare form of Rubia cordifolia with 8 leaves per node! But one thing I may like to know about the shape of the leaves : In my post, I have shared sightings of Rubia cordifolia from two different places: I think all the pictures in question are belonging to the same species: Rubia cordifolia, as per keys in FoP, FoC etc. Why flowers in … post look so different from flowers of Rubia cordifolia If you are referring to the purplish part in 1st and 3rd pictures, it could be a developing leaf. Since the upper stem is cut-off (see Picture 353.jpg), a new branch from axillary bud has started developing! Thanks, … for the clarification.

Rubiaceae Week : Rubia cordifolia.Mahabaleshwar: .
A climber from Mahabaleshwar (Western ghats Maharashtra). Looks like Rubia cordifolia (Rubiaceae family). Rubia cordifolia unless some other species occurs in Western Ghats. Thanks all. Rubia cordifolia The leaf has got a very characteristic “touch” – because of hirsute hair which are a bit recurved (i think). If you touch it, it sticks a little bit to hand/cloth although it has no sticky secretions etc. May be there is some technical term for this, but cant find it. Many species of Rubia and Galium have stems and often leaves covered with hooked hairs, that help in climbing. ‘Rubia cordifolia’ is called ‘Manjishtha’ ‘मंजिष्ठा’ in Marathi. Rubia cordifolia called Manchatti in Malayalam
Creeper : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2). It may be Rubia cordifolia. Thank you very much for your help. It does look very likely to be Rubia cordifolia. The new shoots with leaves arranged in a cross are out and I think we are looking at young Rubia cordifolia. Please confirm. very nice, … though i personally donot have enough knowledge to confirm, yet it seems likely … can tell
but I writing to say manjistha is an old ayurvedic herb and old vedic rites herb vedic folks used it in various agnihotra for invoking various shaktis for different purposes… and in puja as offering to gods in autumn in ayurveda its a potent skin rejuvenator and protector in addition to providing the pinkish red color.. its also reduces subtle inflammations in skin and mucous membranes I would appreciate if you would follow these and show us the twining growth , flowers and later fruits if any how does it propagate itself thanks for the link to your earlier thread and there is another for berries.
those were nice complete as far as fall weather berries go.
your pictures here show a perfect cross made by emerging leaves… my reason for following your creeper by you is: this thread : by … where emerging leaves are making a eight leaf whorl… now there are several other thread from KAS week also on the efl page but these are treks where its not possible for them to follow up on cases
and you perhaps can and it seems to me you also have the willingness and curiosity to do so…
that’s why i had mentioned it to you to follow these little babies as they grow… see their life history
would make a complete case history, though your earlier pictures are indeed very good. Point taken … I will follow up on this. I found one today with eight leaves arrayed in crosses; voila. now you have one more step in its life story. good. the show goes on? thanks you. you are diligent.
its a pleasure to interact with you
Agumbe :: Rubia manjith :: DVJAN59 : 7 posts by 5 authors. 6 images. Awesome macro for these tiny flowers.. To me it looks like R. cordifolia because offlower colour and reflexed corolla lobes and on comparison of our upload from Chakrata. It does appear to be Rubia cordifolia which is abundant here in Dharamshala too. In December-January I saw many of these with black berries which I posted to the group. I will go with Rubia cordifolia. Will revise my flickr notes soon. .

full habit picture might help Image 5. What is confusing me is the base of the leaves. For Rubia cordifolia Linnaeus:
base rounded, truncate, cordulate, or cordate as per FOC
cordate at base rarely rounded as per FOP
For Rubia alata Wallich in Roxburgh:
Regarding Rubia wallichiana Decaisne, FOC says
‘The above description and distribution data of Rubia wallichiana have been taken over from H. S. Lo (in FRPS 71(2): 315-316. 1999). There are hardly any differential characters relative to R. cordifolia s.s. aside from vague references to less prickly stems or differences in flower and fruit color (see key). In view of all this, we regard R. wallichiana as a possible synonym of R. cordifolia s.s. but maintain it as a species in the present flora in order to stimulate its clarification’
Rubia charifolia Wall. ex G.Don looks different as per GBIF
So on checking all the species listed in Nepal, it is most likely to be Rubia cordifolia L. or Rubia manjith Roxb. ex Fleming, both species closely related as far as leaves are concerned and distinguished based on flowers. I also checked all possible and guessed accordingly. . Mahabaleshwar, MH :: Rubia cordifolia :: ARK2020-079 : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (6) – around 500 kb each.

Rubia manjith Roxb. Thank you very much for the ID suggestion. It is more close to Rubia cordifolia, as per our eFI, pale flowers are R. cordifolia, please check screenshot. Yes, Rubia cordifolia L. as per images and details herein.
