Reminds of Tricholepis … not sure.


Thank you sir. Tricholepis amplexicaulis? Please see http://www.kew.org/herbcatimg/378595.jpg.


efi page on Tricholepis amplexicaulis 


This must be Tricholepis glaberrima which stands about a metre tall, with flower-head of the size as seen in your 3rd pic.
T. amplexicaulis is a larger herb, about 1.5 – 2 m tall, with basal leaves of amplexicaul nature; larger flower-head with robust stalk.


Thank you very much …

I presume this is tricholepis amplexicaulis and not Tricholeis radicans?

Photographed recently in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai. This plant attracts butterflies and other insects. A Crab Spider had successfully caught a Grey Pansy butterfly that came to feed. On the ground below i noticed a wing of a Great Eggfly that too must have fallen prey to the lurking Crab spider.


Lovely pictures. It appears so to me


It appears to be Tricholepis glaberrima DC.

Plant for ID SMP2- 30/12/2010:
An
Asteraceae member shrub.
5-6 feet tall. Leaves lanceolate sessile hairy.
Observed near Ambolgad on a plateau Rajapur Konkan.


This is the Western Hill Thistle [Tricholepis amplexicaulis].


I feel this is Tricholepis glaberimma.


Fair enough, but Tricholepis glaberrima is a smalll annual herb 50 – 100 cms tall, whereas the plant in question here is a shrub.


I would personally go with t. glaberrima because Leaves are not amplexicaul at base
involucre bracts are shorter and erect and not recurved
Heads look smaller in size

efloraofindia google group is very useful to me. But photos of Dicoma tomentosa are wrong. May the photos are tricholepis which are mention for Dichoma. If anything wrong in my mail please ignore


It is Dicoma tomentosa only, you can not come to a conclusion by one image only, compare it with images of Flowers of India, EOL etc images and characters of the plant.


Thank you …, Both are related genera, In Dicoma leaf is entire, where as in Tricholepis leaves are pinnatisect. This image represents Tricholepis glaberrima DC. The season we visited is dry summer and I thought to be dried plant of Dicoma.


Please check my images sir. which collected by me. first three attachments Tricholepis and 4th and 5th one is dicoma sps.

Seen this plant at Malhargad near Pune in September 2020 on a small hillock.
Is it some Tricholepis?
Requested to please ID.

Looks like Tricholepis amplexicaulis C.B.Clarke !


Thank you …
Even I thought so.
But these flowers were very small compared to T. amplexicaulis that I have seen.
Can this be T. glaberrima?

Yes, … I also feel more close to Tricholepis glaberrima DC. as per comparative images at Tricholepis

Peth Kothaligad, September 2021 :: Plant for ID :: ARK2022-008: 5 images.
This was clicked at Peth Kothaligad hill fort near Karjat, MH in September 2021.
I strongly suspect, the leaves of this plant to be very similar to the ones I posted  at Pali near Khopoli, MH :: Vegetable for ID :: ARK2019-60, although this has been clicked at a completely different location. The leaves are so similar.
No fruiting or flowering seen on this plant.
Requested to please ID.
And also suggest whether the plants in both these posts could be the same.


the leaves of this plant do indeed resemble those posted by you as a vegetable from Pali. It has been puzzling me for some time.
In your first two images here the upper leaves are visible and they differ from the lower leaves. It is the upper leaves which are more familiar to me.
I think this plant is an Asteraceae which flowers late or after the rains. It may be Tricholepis glaberrima. The branching pattern seen partly in your first two photos would also match with Tricholepis.

This plant is sometimes known as Brahmadandi and it seems to have several ethnomedicinal applications and possibly nutritional uses as well. If you saw the larger leaves for sale only in the month of August this would tally with the emergence of the tender new leaves before the plant shoots up and becomes more rigid.


Thanks … for this exhaustive analysis.
That post also troubles me and hence when I saw this plant, I thought may be it will help us to id those leaves as well.
Dinesh ji’s site gives a local name to Tricholepis glaberrima –  दहाण dahan 
Could this match with the name that the vegetable seller gave me – Dhanni/Dhamni or the like? I wonder.
The vegetable pics were clicked on August 24th 2019 and this plant was clicked on 26th September 2021.
I will always be on the lookout for this at other places, but that will have to wait now till next year’s rains.


I found an illustration of the plant: http://plantillustrations.org/illustration=162222
And this article on the medicinal properties with a photo of the young leaves     https://journal.environcj.in/index.php/ecj/article/view/71/132
It seems that the local name given by … is close enough!
Well done for finding the plant in the field as well.



Pali near Khopoli, MH :: Vegetable for ID :: ARK2019-60 : 12 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (3)
This vegetable was on sale at the local vendor. This was at Pali near Khopoli, MH in Aug 2019.
He called it ‘Dhamni’ or ‘Dhanni’ in Marathi. It is available only during this time.
Requested to please ID.

Probably leaf of Corchorus species.


reminds me of jute // pat saag


Jute is manufactured from fibres of Corchorus olitorius/ capsularis


I know that but in markets its called jute saag, including in queens any where the Bangladeshis come to sell and buy these.


Thanks for the feedback …
However, I do not think this is Corchorus aestuans or olitorius, particularly based on the venation of the leaves. I clicked a Corchorus just close by and the venation is different. See attached.

To me appears some Urticaceae member ?


Noted with thanks. But no clue …


My guess was Corchorus,
I feel it could be Corchorus urticifolia, or a Laportea sp……. it strongly resembles Laportea inrterrupta I have seen.


Leaf venation of Corchorus urticifolius looks different from High resolution specimen from India from GBIF.


Leaf venation also does not matches with Laportea interrupta


Perilla frutescens ??


I do not think matches with Perilla


It does look like Perilla.
I can’t think of any wild local plant it might be. I had shown the images to local people who all shook their heads. They did not recognise the plant.


They are tender leaves of Clerodendrum serratum = Rotheca serrata
commonly known as Bharangi and often sold in local markets early monsoon. Tender leaves are consumed in Konkan while flowers are consumed up in Sahyadris.


I guess not !


Maybe Tricholepis glaberrima as per discussions at Peth Kothaligad, September 2021 :: Plant for ID :: ARK2022-008


Is it used as vegetable as mentioned by …?
