ANMAR34/54 Please identify this herb : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (6)

Family: Rubiaceae
Date: November 2014
Place: Nelliyampathy, Palakkad, Kerala
Habit: Herb
Habitat: Grasslands

The stipules are pectinate. They are cut up/divided. Please see the attached photo.
Using this feature and referring the Hassan flora, I can narrow down to the genera Neanotis, Oldenlandia, Knoxia, Borreria and Mitracarpus (please see attached photo again).
I cannot go further as I do not know the nature and number of ovules and locules of the ovary in the plant I have photographed.

Neanotis sp?

Neanotis species in eFIoraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available)

I guess it is Knoxia mollis (synonym of K. sumatrensis).

Thanks sir. Knoxia sumatrensis.

On 17/8/08 in Talakona forest, AP near Tirupati.

is it some Callicarpa sp

Does not matches with any ‎Callicarpa species so far in efi.

Knoxia wightiana Wall. ex G.Don ??

it is Knoxia sumatrensis very common here

Thank you …! I was thinking between these two !

I too agree with ma’am, sure it’s not wightiana,

Please help me for the identification of some Hedyotis species collected recently (19.12.13) from grasslands in Kerala, above an altitude of 2100m.

This may be Hedyotis eualata (Gamble) Henry & Subram.

Hedyotis eualata is different.

What is the final id ?
Hedyotis auricularis ??

No. Different.

Exallage auricularia (L.) Bremek. ??

Knoxia sumatrensis, perhaps.

Knoxia sumatrensis (Retz.) DC.

Yes, it is Knoxia sumatrensis dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant,

Knoxia wightiana and Knoxia hookeriana (no details) are also reported from the district as per Flora of Peninsular India, in addition to Knoxia sumatrensis.
Looks different from the GBIF specimen of Knoxia hookeriana– one and the publication at KNOXIA HOOKERI (RUBIACEAE): A NEW SPECIES FROM INDIA.
After going through the description and other details at Knoxia wightiana, I also think that it may be Knoxia sumatrensis only.

Yes, it is Knoxia sumatrensis, dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant,

for identification: 2 very high res. image.

Knoxia sumatrensis (Retz.) DC.

Knoxia roxburghii (Sprengel) M. A. Rau may also be reported (POWO) from the area with keys at Flora of China.
Difficult to check with this image.
May I request you to post other images.
Otherwise we keep it as Knoxia sumatrensis (Retz.) DC. for the time being.

Looks different from Knoxia roxburghii subsp. brunonis (Wall. ex G.Don) R.Bhattacharjee & Deb and Knoxia roxburghii var. glauca (W.W.Sm.) R.Bhattacharjee & Deb, which may be reported from your area as per POWO.
It may be Knoxia sumatrensis (Retz.) DC. only as per GBIF specimens from India.

I guess inflorescence pattern is different in roxburghii !
