Which Pseuderanthemum ??

I think close to Pseuderanthemum latifolium as per comparative images at Pseuderanthemum



A Revised Handbook to the Flora of Ceylon -, Volume 12

/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Ranpur%201-7.jpg

Identification: (mixed thread): 1 correct image as above.
i have collected the species from Ranpur, Nayagarh district of Orissa. Please help me in identification

Place of collection: Ranpur
Altitude: 400 m above msl
Habit: Herb,
Flower solitary


    again i had sighted the species in the same place and i measured some of the characters.
    Field notes: Undershrub, leaves elliptic (up to 15 cm long), acuminate, flowers white, solitary, capsules and seeds were not visible during the time of collection
  Can it be Pseudoeranthemum malabaricum, Syn: Eranthemum malabaricum ? Please confirm.

    … to me it does look like Pseuderanthemum malabaricum … (.. please mind the typo : pesudo … must be pseud)
    For some views in my photostream:
http://www.flickr.Pseuderanthemummalabaricum…

thanks for the identification, but i could not see the red dots on corolla. I think my specimen is lacking that
character. Please validate.


… frankly, am at a loss at commenting on the presence / absence of dots … not sure of the description put by the author. In many identities, (the dots,) the colour of flower in general varies for many reasons, yet the plant is considered to belong to particular species.
Please let us wait for comments on this point, as well as validation of your plant being Pseuderanthemum malabaricum. We may get to know of any other close species.

There are two species …, please separate species wise,
1998 & 1999 images are Ecobolium viride,


1995 & 1996 seems some Rhinacanthus sp.


I agree with you.


The pictures labelled IMG_1995.jpeg & IMG_1996.jpeg are of Pseuderanthemum latifolium (Vahl) B.Hansen [syn. Pseuderanthemum malabaricum (C.B.Clarke) Gamble].


You’re right

Telugu name for Pseuderanthemum malabaricum (C.B.Clarke) Gamble:

I want a name to be coined for Pseuderanthemum malabaricum (C.B.Clarke) Gamble
I am thinking of “చుక్కల రేకు cukkala reku” … I hope it means “dotted petal”.
If you have any name to suggest, please help.

It is commonly known as చుక్క మల్లె in Telugu some words need free translation


Many many thanks, Lalithamba ji, for help with the name … చుక్క మల్లె cukka malle … literal meaning: “dotted jasmine“.


.


Tamil name for Pseuderanthemum malabaricum (C.B.Clarke) Gamble:

Wanting to coin a Tamil name for Pseuderanthemum malabaricum (C.B.Clarke) Gamble
Going by names that are known in other languages, they literally translate to “white barleria” (Kannada & Tulu), “dotted jasmine” (Malayalam).
I am thinking of “dotted barleria” for Tamil … and looks like this: புள்ளியிடப்பட்ட முள்ளி pulliyitappatta mulli … I am not sure whether it suits like a name; your thoughts please.
In case you have any to suggest, please help.

Please ignore my earlier suggestion of “புள்ளியிடப்பட்ட முள்ளி pulliyitappatta mulli” … incidentally “முள்ளி mulli” though a generic name for some Barleria species, the name is also shared by many other thorny plants.
I am thinking of “புள்ளியிட்ட பூவிதழ் pulliyitta pivotal” … simply meaning “dotted petal”.
In case you have any better suggestion, please help.

The 2nd version of the name sounds much better. Also, as you mentioned, the name mulli is used mainly for thorny plants (Mul = முள் = thorn).
For this plant, I suggest either “pulli potta poo chediபுள்ளி போட்ட பூச்செடி or simply “pulli poo chediபுள்ளிப்பூ செடி. Both mean the same thing (plant with dotted flowers), but the former name may be a better option.
