Dear friends,
Please validate the ID.


Thanks very very much …, for validating the ID.
Another Debregeasia post also needs ID / validation – where I have posted 2 sets of images – ONE: where the flowers arise from leaf axils, TWO: where the flowers seem to be rising from all over the branch.
I will be glad to know if there are any other species of Debregeasia reported in floras of south Indian states.

The first two photos belong to one, where we see flowers in leaf axils; the last two photos of another plant shows flowers all over the branch. Are these two different species OR are they male & female ? Please help.

Thanks … for resurfacing this query. This plant must be Debregeasia longifolia (Burm.f.) Wedd. … the only other distributed Debregeasia in nearby Shimoga is Debregeasia ceylanica (Burm.f.) Wedd. … with distinct difference in leaves. The latter’s status is shown critically endangered at IUCN.

Family: Urticaceae
Date: November 2014
Place: Rishikesh (Neer Waterfalls), Uttarakhand
Habit: Short tree


This is a Debregeasia species, probably D. longifolia


Can be Debregeasia hypoleucaSiaru (local name in Himachal). A fodder shrub.


efi pages on Debregeasia longifolia & Debregeasia saeneb (Syn: Boehmeria hypoleuca Hochst. ex A.Rich.)


It looks like Debregeasia longifolia,


We have Debregeasia saeneb here as small trees as well as shrubs. Since Rishikesh has a similar clime and altitude we could be looking at the same species.


…, any key to separate the species listed in this thread- D. longifolia, D. saeneb and D. hypoleuca?


If Flowers are compact, globose, sessile heads, arranged in axillary clusters, Perianth of 4 tepals, succulent in female flowers; stigma sessile, Stamens 4, Fruits globose, yellowish, 4-­5mm across, berry like then it is Debregeasia salicifolia and if
Flowers are arranged in axillary, dichotomously branched, compact heads, Perianth of 4-segments; stamens 4; perianth segments longer than bracteoles in male, Fruits orange-yellow when ripe then it is Debregeasia longifolia


Pl. see the keys at

Thank you … I will go with … and … suggestion. The flowering time too matches

Debregeasia orientalis C. J. Chen: 8 very high res. images.

Location: Shivapuri, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Altitude:  2080 m.
Date: 13 November 2022
Habit : Wild
A new to efi from Nepal after a long gap.

I feel it should be Debregeasia longifolia as per keys in Flora of China:

(1) Branches spreading pubescent; at least some inflorescences on current year’s branches; flowering August to December. Dlongifolia
+ Branches usually appressed pubescent; all inflorescences on branches of previous seasons; flowering February to April. (5)
(4) Leaves densely snow white tomentose abaxially, faintly fine veined; inflorescences often sessile. Dsaeneb
+ Leaves gray tomentose abaxially, distinctly fine veined; inflorescences usually pedunculate. Dorientalis

5. Debregeasia orientalis C. J. Chen, Novon. 1: 56. 1991.
水麻 shui ma
Shrubs 1-4 m tall, often dioecious, rarely monoecious.4. Debregeasia longifolia (N. L. Burman) Weddell in Candolle, Prodr. 16(1): 235. 1869.

Shrubs or small trees 3-6 m tall, dioecious or monoecious.


What does it prove ?


I suppose Debregeasia orientalis is a small shrub and Debregeasia longifolia is shrub to a tree with many branches. So, I guess it looks like Debregeasia orientalis !


Those are not the keys. Very vague for I’d, when both can be shrubs.


OK … !
