Herb from Satpura – NSD 59 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2)
Friends photographed this herb in Satpura tiger reserve on 11-10-09
Please id this herb

Some species of Bupleurum, I suppose
I wonder whether this genus is recorded from the area.

yes … there are two species Bupleurum wightii and Bupleurum plantaginifolium are reported from Bori and Pachamari area in Flora of Pachmari and Bori Reserves by BSI, I think this is Bupleurum wightii. thanks for giving id clue

I think it will be Bupleurum andhricum M.P.Nayar & R.N.Banerjee going by the description and illustration at the following:

https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/FloraPeninsular/herbsheet.php?id=726&cat=7

although I could not find any herbarium specimen (including GBIF) or images on the net.

Looks different from Bupleurum ramosissimum Wight & Arn. (including var. wightii) as per

i had collected this specimen from Kalahandi, South Orissa.

Details: Height-up to 34 ft
Flowering: Oct-Nov
Fruiting: Dec
Altitude: 800 to 1200 met.

– Bupleurum species, Apiaceae, most probably B. falcatum Species recorded from the area may be checked.

– Bupleurum falcatum
.. I was wondering what is the difference between B falcatum and B mucornatum?

thanks for the conformation.

Bupleurum falcatum is not reported from India as per Catalogue of life

So it has to be something different.

Bupleurum falcatum in FBI had three varieties

var: marginata (Wall.) Hook.f., leaves with cartilaginous margins, middle cauline leaves often amplexcaule but narrowed towards base…..now synonym for Bupleurum marginatum Wall. ex DC.

var. hoffmeisteri Klotz., cauline leaves less acuminate, numerous, scarcely amplexicaule,carpels gaucous with prominent ridges, now synonym for Bupleurum marginatum Wall. ex DC.

var. nigrocarpa (Jacq.) Hook.f, stemens numerous from crown, leaves amplexicaule broadest at base, bracts 3-4, half-ripe fruits purple-black, synonym for Bupleurum gracillimum Klotzsch & Garcke

Bupleurum falcatum – Indian Institute of Integrative Medicinewww.iiim.res.in › herbarium › apiaceae › bupleurum_falcatum

I think this should be Bupleurum ramosissimum var. wightii (Mukh.) S.S.R.Bennet as per images, details and references herein.

I think it will be Bupleurum andhricum M.P.Nayar & R.N.Banerjee going by the description and illustration at the following:

180825PKD2: Id pls collected from Koraput Odisha on August 2025: 4 high res. images.

Two sps, Bupleurum ramosissimum Wight & Arn. and Bupleurum andhricum M.P.Nayar & R.N.Banerjee

have got distribution in Odisha and Bupleurum andhricum M.P.Nayar & R.N.Banerjee looks close.

Going by the description and illustration at the following, you may be right:
