Keys as per efi thread: Differences between these two species is mainly based on whether spines on the capsule is glabrous (Triumfetta rhomboidea) or with a line of spreading hairs on the dorsal side (Triumfetta pentandra). ON going through the posts in efi I find it is very difficult to check this with naked eyes.

Other factor is the number of stamen in the flowers, about which different sources talk about differently as below: 

 

 

Triumfetta rhomboidea

Triumfetta pentandra

Flora of Pakistan

Stamens mostly 15, rarely fewer but not less than 10

Stamens mostly 5, rarely up to 10

BSI Flora of India:

Stamens 8 – 15

Stamens 5 (rarely up to 10).

Flora of China

Stamens 10 

Not found 

Flora of North America 

Stamens 10–15 

Not found  

Flora of Zimbabwe 

Not mentioned 

Stamens usually 5 

Most of our postings show 10 stamen. In view, I feel that we should take all these posts as Triumfetta rhomboidea and not Triumfetta pentandra.
.
Yes, flower with 5 stamens can be considered as Triumfetta pentandra; further the capsule is ovoid in T.pentandra; it is globular in T.rhomboidea
.

I think Triumfetta pentandra A.Rich. as per keys herein.


Sorry, it should be Triumfetta rhomboidea only as stamen are clearly 10.

No doubt these two species (Triumfetta rhomboidea and T. pentandra) are confusingly close, another two can be added to this list: (T. pilosa and T. annua)
Leaving it to those studying (or familiar with) these plants to give us a better understanding for differentiating them. My perceptions of these are based on their lower leaves … they differ in shape.
Other differentiating visual details (requiring a hand-lens) – are in the fruits and flowers.


First larger image may be of T. pentandra as per details herein.


Sorry, … is right- spines do not appear to be glabrous.


I think all images are of Triumfetta pentandra A.Rich. as per keys herein.


Yes, I agree … Will correct my notes soon.


Sorry, … No need for any correction as 10 stamen are clearly seen. You initial I’d is perfectly correct. I think number of stamen is the more important key for id. Different floras has confused it. We should generally take 5 stamen for pentendra and 10 for rhomboidea

Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq. from Hooghly:

Attaching images of Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq.
Species :Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq.
Bengali Name : BON OKRA
Habit & Habitat : seems to be a wild herb with small flowers and spiny fruits on roadside in front of a home yard
Date : 9/10/12, 4.18 p.m.
Place : Garalgacha (Hooghly)
sites visited :

do you mean OKRA as in ladies finger… dhedosh?


In “Plant Groups” several wild plants have been mentioned as OKRA, in Bengali, with a prefix like TIKI or BON. It appears to me that OKRA had been chosen specially for spiny fruits, eg. one of the Bengali names of Xanthium strumarium is OKRA and it came from Hindi. But OKRA may not be spiny too, as in TIKI-OKRA.

Attached images are Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq from Assam.



This Triumfetta sp. is unidentified since long in my collection. It is a small undershrub collected along a road in Pantnagar (315 m; Uttarakhand) area. Typically petals are spatulate, green, densely hairy and stamens are also densely hairy.
Hope to get ID here in the fortnight dedicated to the family.
Photographed in October 2010 in Pantnagar area.

Triumfetta species in eFIoraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) 


This is unique specimen, never seen any such Triumfetta in our group. Flowers are green, buds not cylindrical …. I fail to connect it with all resources I have.

I would like to draw your kind attention to the following words – “…in some flowers, the calyx resembled an involucrum, and corolla a calyx covered with stellate tomentum ” (T. neglecta Wight & Arn.).
Please add to above – 3-5 bracts (T. pentandra) (brtacts can be seen clearly in pic Triumfetta so_DSR_2.jpg).
TPL and FoP think T. cuneata Hochst. is synonymous with the above.
I think it maybe the one described under T. neglecta above. Else a new species that I do not know.

It is Triumfetta rhomboidea (Syn. Triumfetta tungarensis Billore described from Tungar hills of Maharashtra but it was merged by Koshy and Almeida sir.)
if you require research paper kindly reply I will arrange to send you the scanned copy of papers. good day and best wishes for your work and observation.

this plant is photographed long back; this is a shrub; stems pilose, leaves 3 nerved; flowers in  axillary 3 flowered cymes, corolla greenish, stamens 5, fruit not observed.
please help in the identification, is it grewia or ?

Grewia or something like this?


It could be a Triumfetta sp. A characteristic bristly fruit is visible in the far left of the 2nd photo. Also the sepals seem to have an appendage at tips.
Of course, the greenish corolla is still a question here.


Thank you …, it may be an oddity; when I am searching my files I found some oddities; why can’t we open a page for such oddities of any species we found; I am attaching oddity in Evolvulus alsinoides; first one is with white flower; second one with different type of inflorescence; flowers only in simple cymes, in apical axils of the branches; the plant is not completely prostrate or wiry, it is procumbent herb; please observe


Very interesting observations of infra-specific variations! Thanks … for sharing these rare pictures! I agree, we should have a separate page for such unique features. That’s a great idea!!

Names of Plants in India :: Manipuri name of Triumfetta rhomboidea : 3 posts by 2 authors.
Please help with the Manipuri name of Triumfetta rhomboidea – leehing (hopefully vaild) listed at ENVIS-FRLHT, in native script.

Although this name appears in two books on plants of Manipur, I am quite doubtful about it. None of the people who are well versed with Manipuri local names of plants, in my circle, seem to have heard this name. Anyway, it would be put in the script as লীহিং


Your doubt is correct … I made a search again; it finds a mention as a local name in Haryana Forest Flora !!
But, it is equally strange to consider leehing as a name in Haryanvi, which could best be written as लीहिंग.
It is bit difficult to digest that a name is used for same plant in two extreme places of our country, and nowhere in between.
Will wait until someone comes up with validating comments.

Some more photos-


Without fruit is is almost impossible to differentiate it with T. rhomboidea Jacq. (vide Prain and Haines). There is a KEY, based on no. of stamens, in FoP, but a number of flowers should be examined to reach the correct ID. Some aspects can be considered to reach the ID –

  1. T. r. is a undershrub whereas T. p. is herb that may attain 2ft . height
  2. petals of T. r. are hairy along margins, specially at base
  3. In T. p “Cymes antiphyllous, short peduncled, arranged racemosely due to abortion of upper leaves.” ( FoP)

So, I think the ID is possible if the plant satisfy at least the no.1 above.


Yes sir, Does the attached photo qualify for your 3. point? Attachments (1)


And one more sir- Attachments (1)


Yes, …, your (1st set of) pics themselves do qualify 2 and 3, that is why I stressed on 1 …If yes it can be T. pentandra.


Id confirmed as Triumfetta pentandra by … Thank you.

I think images should be of Triumfetta rhomboidea as stamen appears to be 10 as per discussions in efi thread

Can you check up with the details of the spines & stamen as per the following?
In T. pentandra, there are having 5-10 stamens. The spines on capsule should have spreading hairs.
In T. rhomboidea there are 10-20 stamens and spines are glabrous.

The site is very far away. By the way images are also not so clear but looks like 10 stamens only !

May be Triumfetta pentandra A.Rich. as per comparative images at Triumfetta & keys herein

Without floral character, fruit closeup difficult to identify correctly


Thanks, … I was also finding it difficult.


May be Triumfetta rhomboidea based on globular fruits.


To me, it is T. rhomboidea.


Thank you …! Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq.


.


Differences between these two species is mainly based on whether spines on the capsule is glabrous (Triumfetta rhomboidea) or with a line of spreading hairs on the dorsal side (Triumfetta pentandra). ON going through the posts in efi I find it is very difficult to check this with naked eyes.
Other factor is the number of stamen in the flowers, about which different sources talk about differently as below: 
 

 

Triumfetta rhomboidea

Triumfetta pentandra

Flora of Pakistan

Stamens mostly 15, rarely fewer but not less than 10

Stamens mostly 5, rarely up to 10

BSI Flora of India:

Stamens 8 – 15

Stamens 5 (rarely up to 10).

Flora of China

Stamens 10 

Not found 

Flora of North America 

Stamens 10–15 

Not found  

 

Flora of Zimbabwe 

Not mentioned 

Stamens usually 5 
Most of our postings show 10 stamen. In view, I feel that we should take all these posts as Triumfetta rhomboidea and not Triumfetta pentandra.
Awaiting your feedback pl.

I had posted 3 species of Triumfetta found commonly in northern Western Ghats, for validation and comparison.
I think, the fruits and flowers together give a better picture of their identity.
rhomboidea flowers are clearly twice as big than the pentandra.
rhomboidea fruits are comparatively smaller and appear spherical than those of pentandra.


Yes, flower with 5 stamens can be considered as Triumfetta pentandra; further the capsule is ovoid in T.pentandra; it is globular in T.rhomboidea.


Thanks, … … is saying opposite of what you said regarding fruits.
But I think ultimately key hinges on the number of stamen as hairyness of spine is difficult to be judged with naked eyes which I felt after going through numerous posts.


Eflora of Pakistan, eflora of Zimbabwe, kew says fruit is ovoid in T.pentandra; it is globular in T.rhomboidea


I and … are saying the same about the fruits … I used the word spherical for globular.


Sorry, …, for the misunderstanding. Yes you are right.

Is this Triumfetta rhomboidea?
Requested to please ID.

Looks like. Any other images showing habitat and full leaf ?


Unfortunately, I did not take any further pics. My bad!!!!


Yes, appears so based on the no. of stamens.

Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq. OR ? :: Waghbil, Thane, Maharashtra :: Dec 7, 2010 · 4:08 PM IST: 8 images.

Triumfetta rhomboidea Jacq. … OR … is it rather Triumfetta pentandra A.Rich. ?

Waghbil, Thane, Maharashtra :: Dec 7, 2010 · 4:08 PM IST :: about 3 m (10 ft) asl
Dear friends, this is quite an old observation which I have labelled it as Triumfetta rhomboidea, based on count of stamens (as much as 10). Now when I am paying attention to the shape of fruits, they look ovoid than globular. Thus, I believe this plant is rather Triumfetta pentandra A.Rich. … please help check.


This is Triumfetta rhomboidea only. Pl. see

My thoughts:
Number of stamens in T. pentandra is not always 5 … It could be more, is what I have been seeing.
The mentioned  efi thread does not compare shape and size of fruits.
In case of T. pentandra, the fruits are ovoid, and in case of T. rhomboidea – globular.
The posted plant has ovoid fruits.
I will keep the posted plant’s observation labelled as T. rhomboidea.

In Flora of Karnataka it is mentioned under Triumfetta pentandra that the fruits are globose to ovoid with bristles hairy on one side. Buds are constricted in the middle.

Under Triumfetta rhomboidea the bristles are glabrous except at the base. In Flora of North America the fruits of T. rhomboidea are said to be globose to ovoid-globose.
It seems we need very clear close up images to see these details, as well as seeing the overall habit of the plant.
I hope this helps.

Thanks very much, …, for the description of fruits of both species. Next time I hope to get a close up of the fruit bristles.
This posted plant, I would go with my initial thoughts; many thanks to … for the same ID.
