Small Plant For ID : Pink Flowers : MNP,Mumbai : 27APR15 : AK-5 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1)
Saw this plant with tiny flowers at MNP, Mumbai.

Not very sure whether a wild or cultivated plant.

Unfortunately, I have just this picture.

DO  THE BACK GROUND LEAVES BELONG TO THIS PLANT ?….

No, those are some other leaves.

I think I have found the id.

It is Talinum paniculatum.
It is photographed from the same place by … FOI

Experts kindly verify.

good for you but you have to agree your diagnosis would carry more weight if you also had even one snapshot of the leaves to match mr Awale’s picture on FOI

Should be Talinum paniculatum only, paniculate inflorescence, sepals not persisting in fruit, long slender pedicels, infl. nodding.

Has been placed under T. fruticosum on the website.

Clicked this plant from my institute at S A S Nagar, (Mohali), Punjab.
Habit: Herb
Habitat: Shady area under the trees
Plant height: about 1 ft excluding the flowering twigs
Plant height (Including flowering twigs): 2 ft almost
Leaves: smooth, spoon shaped
Flowers: Small, pink petals and almost 1cm across

Fruits: very small, green when unripe, yellow on maturity

Looks like Talinium species variety (S.paniculatum variety). But to confirm better photographs of the leaves and flowers are needed.

Thank You … for ID. I think and hope this to the correct ID. I am attaching two more photos. though not mine but from the same location. these were clicked by one of my colleagues.

Thanks … These photos also look similar to me.

I couldn’t get you. Similar means Talinum paniculatum or equally bad and confusing as the earlier ones?

Similar means the second set of photos also looks like Talinum paniculatum. It does not mean anything else !.

Yes, Talinum paniculatum (Jacq.) Gaertn. as per images and details herein and as per comparative images at Talinum‎
