Acanthaceae Week: Calacanthus grandiflorus Radlk.: A monotypic one from Acanthaceae Images taken from Dajipur Wildlife Sanctuary, Radhanagari, Maharashtra 12th Nov. 2007 . Common Name: Mugut (Marathi) Family: Acanthaceae Photographed on: 31st Dec., 2011 Photographed at: Matheran Habitat Type: Forest Hill Slope Conservation Status: Endemic to Western Ghats Complex Description: Erect shrub, occasionally seen near shrubberies at higher elevations in hills. I have yet to come across this. How common is this in Matheran area? …, in last 3 years of search in Matheran, it is my first sighting. In the area, where I located it this time is very much frequented by me but this was the surprise of the time. Truly interesting plant. When I first read this mail I was reminded of calycanthus, till I found out that there is genus Calacanthus of Acanthaceae. Base of Chanderi hill (From Vangani side) also has the distribution of this plant. I had also spotted this plant at Chandoli Forest.
