Polygonatum geminiflorum? (Asparagaceae) for ID from Uttarakhand: July 2015_DSR_4 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3)
I photographed this species from Vasudhara area (3300m asl), Badrinath (Uttarakhand) in June 2015. It was growing among the boulders and reached a height of 50cm. I suspect it as Polygonatum geminiflorum Decne. Stem, nerves underside leaves and margin of leaves are puberulous. Stemens are inserted in the middle of corolla lobe and very small as compared to anther length. Style is as long as ovary. Other characters are visible in pics.
Please suggest correct ID. That is definitely not geminiflorum which has the pubescent leaves and leaf margins, but so do the other verticillate species in the region. Polygonatum geminiflorum looks close. |
