DSCN2446,2447,2448 are Polytoca wallichiana. It belongs to tribe Maydeae. The inflorescence which is clearly visible is the male inflorescence. At the base of the male inflorescence, if you look carefully, one can also see the female inflorescence also emerging out from the sheath.

Polytoca wallichiana (Nees ex Steud.) Benth. !!


Please put this plant in Unidentified list. It is a new one for me with female spikelets on top and awned male spikelets below on the same inflorescence. Please also mention whether this specimen has been collected and deposited in any herbarium.


Pl. tell whether this specimen has been collected and deposited in any herbarium?


Extremely sorry !! Not collected. If required, I can collect during October & November of this year I think.


This I again think is Polytoca wallichiana only comparing with the sheet attached below. It has awned male spikelets at the top and female raceme enclosed in sheath below. The sheet below shows similar male spikelets, but unopened.
