CULTIVATED :: Poaceae » Saccharum officinarum: Poaceae (formerly and a.k.a. Gramineae) » Saccharum officinarum ... dear friends, please validate this ID. SAK-er-um -- referring to sugar, off-ik-IN-ar-um or off-ih-SIN-ar-um -- used or sold as herb. Distribution: widely cultivated ... along Malshej - Junnar road 28 FEB 10. Would someone let us know if there are more than one species known as sugarcane ? querying in context of getting to see many varieties of sugarcanes at different vendors ... some are thick and dark coloured, while some are slim and brightI hope this is the only member of Poaceae which doesn't have a hollow inter node rest all members have hollow inter node which a diagnostic character of this family.
I had chance to work with Dharani Sugars Pvt.Ltd., one of the largest sugar factories in southern India. And it was a ‘sweet’ experience!!! CoC 671 (Co stand for Coimbatore – Sugarcane breeding institute, where the var. developed) is my favourite for some reasons!
In Jharkhand what we have the stem in dark brinjal colour, too tall and too hard to bite in comparison to the green ones in Uttarakhand and parts of UP. There are 3 species of Saccharum in Maharashtra: Saccharum ravennae (L.) L.
Saccharum spontaneum L.
The last one is found in the wild, the other two are cultivated. Hope that answers your query … Yes …, thank you very very much for this information. Keen to see Saccharum ravennae. Will try to find out if found in our vicinity.
grass ID from Hooghly 21/8/12 SK1: Attaching images of a tall grass that looked like a big Arundo donax or a maize plant. I thought it might be Phragmites karka (Retz.) Steud., but leaves are wider than those available data in various websites.
Species : UNKNOWN
Habit & Habitat : about 8 feet and more tall; found in an unused private property, meant for constructing house; leaves at base more than 4.5 cm wide; stem diam. (covered with leaf sheath) – 3 cm
Date : 18/8/12, 4.37 P.M.
Place : Barijahati (Hooghly)
I take this opportunity to send a copy to … and seek his permission regarding my future posts too. Sugar cane ?????? A description of leaf width and culm diameter of Saccharum officinarum (http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200026232) matches with this post.
Running after wild grasses, all these days, i have forgotten all commercial Poaceae species! I am ashamed that sugarcane never peeped into my mind even for a fraction of second! I revisited the site yesterday and the neighbours of the owner confirmed that this is sugarcane. .
