Fabaceae (Faboideae)Fortnight ::Uraria hamosa ::Mizoram::PKA-OCT-35: 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (3) Herb from Mizoram.
Bot. Name: Uraria hamosa Family: Fabaceae Date/Time- 12-11-2008 / 09:30AM Location- Mizoram Habitat- Wild Plant Habit- Herb (Diffuse herb), stem hairy Leaves are trifoliate, elliptic and surface was with dark and light green patches. To me appears to be Uraria lagopodoides (L.) DC. as per images herein rather than Uraria rufescens (DC.) Schindl. as per images herein.
Herb from Mizoram.
Bot. Name: Uraria hamosa
Family: Fabaceae Date/Time- 12-11-2008 / 09:30AM Location- Mizoram Habitat- Wild Plant Habit- Herb (Diffuse herb), stem hairy Leaves are trifoliate, elliptic and surface was with dark and light green patches. Very nice flowers…………….some similarities to Cullen corylifolia(?) Yes …, in inflorescence. The leaves here are trifoliate, as against unifoliate in Cullen corylifolia. To me appears to be Uraria lagopodoides (L.) DC. as per images herein rather than Uraria rufescens (DC.) Schindl. as per images herein.

Fabaceae (Faboideae) Fortnight :: Uraria for id :: Gori Valley :: NS OCT 126/126 : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (5) Please suggest id for this herb with glandular inflorescence..
Can this be Uraria lagopus ?
Pics were taken in Gori Valley area..!!
efi page on Uraria lagopus var. neglecta
This is not Uraria lagopus This is Uraria rufescens (DC.) Schindl.
To me appears to be Uraria lagopodoides (L.) DC. as per images herein rather than Uraria rufescens (DC.) Schindl. as per images herein.
What kind of Uraria is it? Location Kebumen.

Like Squirrel Tail: Could you help me ID the following plant please. A shrub, ca 1 m tall. Leaves opposite, oblong. Inflorescence like squirrel tail, whitish. Seeds black. At low altitude (0-60 m asl).
Looks like Uraria crinita, to me. Urararia alopecuroides was earlier under U. lapopus DC. (FBI 2: 156), now considered as synonym of Uraria lagopodoides (L.) DC
Yes this could be possible as most leaves are simple (rather unifoliate)
What is the rationale behind changing the names of plants without any rhyme or reason. This is such irritant for a layman like me. You fix a name in your mnd, and suddenly somebody informs yu that the new name is noot XYZ but XYZ1. Is this the way to maintain the superiority of the subject expert? 100% agree with you, not only laymen. even plant experts find it difficult to keep them upto date, what i learned in B.Sc. during field trips, In M.Sc. i learned that 20% of them were treated as synonym….
Everyone will agree that one plant species must have one single name throughout the World,, so therefore all these exercise is going on..
but one thing is good that even the synonyms refer to the same plant species….
Just showing desperation does not help. I have been teaching my students for last four decades that correct names of tomato is Lycopersicon esculentum, and it had in fact been given a seal of stability (we call it nomen
conservandum in technical language). All the three editions of my book had one full page justifying it, but we find it being named it as Solanum lycopercum (in fact the oldest name). I had described several new species and given new names to some, but a few are now changed. I did not get frustrated because I knew that thousands of researchers all around the world are working day and night to tell us how much similarity there is between the plants or which names are to be used based on rules of scientific naming. Let us be grateful to them for bringing the science to order, and not show our frustration. No one is trying to show superiority. If updating information is the show of authority, perhaps it can’t be helped. If we want to remain happy with local names, a safeda to me and you here in warmer India is Eucalyptus, but Populus for a Kashmiri who has not seen Eucalyptus in valley. I don’t know that Palak that we eat in Delhi and other states is not Spinach (botanically Spinacea oleracea), it is a variety of beet. Not 5 per cent of Palak sold in Indian markets is Spinach. Whom do we blame for this, because we call both as Palak. Let us spread knowledge on this group and not blame others or show our frustration on others well said and expressed…
my frustration with herbal medicine was the other way around…like in your example of Palak…]
to many regional names in too many books ..authors of which claimed to be experts and if they were also examiners or their pet students were examiners ..that was a terror….
so I am very grateful for the scientific binomials, they have brought some semblance of order… although their work goes on… and on.. to further refinement of classification … I have a simple philosophy, go by the current accepted opinion by reputed website/publication. The scientific opinion keeps on evolving and it it logical to go by it, rather being bound to fixed ideas. References:
