Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: NS 014: Deeringia amaranthoides from Morni Hills:
Deeringia amaranthoides: In my personel opinion, the plant may not be an Amaranthacean. The fruiting apex looks quite likely to be Deeringia amaranthoides… leaves appear much stouter than that… please share if you have some more shots… let us wait for expert’s opinion.. The species is definitely Deeringia amaranthoides. The species was identified by …, Prof of botany of North Bengal University.  To me it is D.amaranthoides despite of variations in leaves. We have only one species in this genus in India. It looks me Direengia amaranthoides too.
Found this climber, growing in village shrubberies, covering the top of bush.
Leaves are about an inch or two, both side glabrous. Attaching flower pictures of this twiner. This seems to be no piperaceae. Thanks … can we consider Amaranthaceae.. I have just finished checking all the amaranthaceae, described in the “Bengal Plants”. The closest match i could find is Deeringea celosioides R. Br. (D. amaranthoides (Lam.) Merr.).
The sites I have visited –
You may be right this time, … wait for fruits and this is Deeringia amaranthoides or not will be confirmed… Yes, Sir, fruit is needed to confirm the ID.     Fruit pictures recorded today suggest the plant could be Deeringia amaranthoides (Lam.) Merr. The Bengali name found GOL MOHANI / GOLA MOHANI / GHOL MUHUNEE. Many thanks to … for the lead. 4 images. Very beautiful images to finish the identity…
