DEATH SENTENCE TO DYSOPHYLLA STELLATA : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1)
For those interested in study of pollination, Dysophylla stellata is an interesting plant. Violet flowers of this herb attracts quite a number of butterfly species, moths, bees, wasps etc. First time I saw this plant in 2008 in a village near this town. I recorded some 17 species of butterflies visiting the flowers of this plant. As the place is near the town, the plot of land on which the plant was thriving has sale value. Today I saw a sign board saying that the plot of land is for sale.
I consider this to the ” Death Sentence ” for this plant. With growing population probably it is inevitable, but I feel bad as I used to visit this land every year (since 2008 during October to December, this is the period when the plant is in bloom and insects have a feast.
Dysophylla stellata is widespread in Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia); Bangladesh; Bhutan; Cambodia; China (Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Zhejiang); Hong Kong; India (Assam, Bihar, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Sikkim, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal); Indonesia; Japan; Lao People’s Democratic Republic; Malaysia; Myanmar (Myanmar (mainland)); Philippines; Sri Lanka; Taiwan, Province of China; Thailand; Vietnam so hopefully this is not the end of this species. On IUCN redlist it has been listed as Least Concerned for the time being.
But of course, a loss is a loss!! Little drops of water make the ocean and same ocean can dry up if you take little drops one after another.
