Fringed Rue;
.
   Request ID of this plant. Ruta chalepensis (= R. graveolens).
[Note: I was thinking these two names are synonyms. But GRIN treats them separate. Any comments please?] The two plants Ruta chalepensis and Ruta graveolens appear same to me
– I would love to be enlightened on this. Ruta graveolens L. Sp. Pl. 1: 383. 1753
Ruta chalepensis L. Mant. Pl. 69. 1767
I dont know if they are synonyms or not, but if they are then Ruta graveolens should have been an accepted name.
Then I found another Ruta chalepensis Wall. Numer. List [Wallich] n. 7113.
Please comment!!
Ruta graveolens L. Sp. Pl. 1: 383. 1753
Ruta chalepensis L. Mant. Pl. 69. 1767
Type: Lectotype – Herb. Linn. No. 537.4 (LINN)
Image of type attached. Please have a look at these links for pictures:
Do you see any difference in the plants, particularly, check the flower close-up pics.
And why R. chalepensis is called as ‘fringed rue’ while the other sp is knows as ‘common rue’. May be the difference is in ‘fringe’d nature of petals???
I hope some of our recent floras treat them as synonym. Pl see these pictures (source: http://toptropicals.com/Ruta_graveolens.htm)
I think they are different, see the fringed petals in one and almost entire petals in the other.
Plant for ID SMP 23 mar 2010 : 1 image. A small potted plant in Pune University.
Herb, Flowers 1cm. Leaves characteristic as in picture.
The gardener told it to have medicinal properties. Posting it out of curiosity. What can it be? The plant in the attached photo is Ruta graveolens Fron the Family Rutaceae. Now its known as Ruta chalapensis (= R. graveolens).      Rutaceae week: Ruta graveolens at Mumbai:
Sharing few photographs of “Ruta graveolens” from Mumbai. Family: Rutaceae. These belong to Ruta chalepensis due to the fringed petals.
Petals in R. graveolens are entire.       Ruta species :: Mumbai :: ARKFEB-11 : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (6)
Attached are some pics of Ruta species (labeled as such) clicked in the flower exhibitions held in Mumbai every year in January/February. Is this Ruta graveolens? This is Ruta chalepensis L.
This species has often been confused with Ruta graveolens L. by many Indian workers who reported it as such and attributed many of the properties known for the latter to it. In R.. chalepensis the petals have characteristic ciliate or fimbriate margins and the capsules are with very sharply pointed lobes, while in R. graveolens petals are with more or less undulate or denticulate margins, and the capsules have obtuse or bluntish lobes.

Ruta chalepensis L. [Rutaceae].
If I am getting it right, this can be Ruta graveolens. – Very common plant in South Karnataka. I have one in my house. – Yeah it has a very strong smell…. Yeah it has a very strong smell…. This should be Ruta chalepensis as per details herein. You are truly great, I just checked Bailey, Manual of cultivated Plants
1. Ruta graveolens: Petals entire or toothed, capsule lobes obtuse
2. Ruta chalapensis. Petals fringed, capsule lobes acute
It fits perfectly, thanks once again. For me looking at the fringed petals it looks like R. chalepensis L. only.
