Lily family herb from Manipur : 11 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (3) Herb or shrub from Shirui Hill, Ukhrul distt, Manipur. Altitude: 2000-2500 m
Found blooming in early June.
Looks like a Polygonatum, but not sure.
Please identify
Any chance of Disporum sp. (Liliaceae).
I think looks different from
 There is color variation in the species. Another attached image might help in comparison. virboga ??? Looks like Disporum cantoniense ‘Blueberry Bere’ ?? flowersofindia ???? The Disporum canotiense image on the eflora of India page looks like D. calcaratum. That said, these are D. cantoniense, but they are quite different from the Chinese D. cantoniense which have dark purple flowers. The plants in Manipur and adjacent Myanmar are typically this pale pink color. .
MS May,2016/05 Undershrub ? for Id : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1) Location : Dampui, Mizoram Polygonatum sps. (Asparagaceae). This species may be Disporum longistylum (H.Lév. & Vaniot) H.Hara, Colchicaceae I think it will be Disporum cantoniense (Lour.) Merr. [Liliaceae] Thanks … Your ID seems correct. This does look like cantoniense, but the length of the spurs should be measured to make sure. A reply from another thread:
The Disporum canotiense image on the eflora of India page looks like D. calcaratum I’ll stay with Disporum cantoniense unless the spurs are longer than 3 mm and the plant occurs at lower elevations. Long spurs and an elevation under 1000 m would suggest this is D. calcaratum. .

Which Disporum??
Google displaying different colored flowers for both sp.
To me appears close to Disporum calcaratum D.Don as per comparative images at Disporum I think that these represent the white forms of D. cantoniense that should probably be treated as D. parviflorum or another older name. True cantoniense from China has purple flowers and is a deciduous plant. Most of the Indian plants seem to be evergreen and much larger in size. This is an area where molecular studies would be helpful. .
Polygonatum fr id : 5 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1). This is a Disporum species, probably calcaratum or cantoniense given the spurs on the tepals. Please cross check with following details (http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200027611)

“The Disporum for ID from Mizoram looks like Disporum calcaratum despite the relatively recent Fascicle of the Flora of India that recognizes only D. cantoniense“ Can this be also Disporum cantoniense as per your reply in another thread by Saroj ji: SK1908 11 May 2019 ? .

Appears so as per images at Disporum cantoniense Thank you …!

This is what is currently accepted to be Disporum cantoniense in the Himalaya, but the flowers seem smaller, the anthers and filaments shorter, and the style shorter than plants from China. .

This is Disporum. Under the current concepts it would fall under D. cantoniense. .
