¿ Dicliptera foetida ?
I hope this plant is Dicliptera foetida; please validate.
at Abbi Falls, Coorg on March 30, 2011

Yes, …

… some Dicliptera ?

Thank you … It is Dicliptera foetida (Forssk.) Blatt. (= Dicliptera zeylanica Nees), You have already posted it.

For me the ID seems to be correct.

I cant thank you enough. This is a very timely help, these beautiful images !!!
Dicliptera species with axillary inflorescences are giving grief ….since this one has relatively bigger flower and inflorescence is not very compact, bracts are bigger too, this species is now easier to recognise and is ruled out as a possible id for my specimens which may be a single taxon or two, I do not know.

---

My pleasure … I think this one is common among the wild species in Western Ghats.
Please do post your Dicliptera spp.

Dicliptera leonotis– seen at Tamhini, a small shrub.

---

This is not Dicliptera leonotis Dalz. ex C. B. Cl. as per Publication pdf and GBIF

---

I think it is Dicleptira foetida only its only a variation

---

I will check pl.

---

Can it be Dicliptera cuneata Nees as per Plant illustrations and GBIF– Specimen 1 and Specimen 2 ?

---

This is the key as per FPM Gamble and T.Pullaiah:

1.Flowers in slender trichotomous/ divaricately branched lax panicles:

 a. inflorescence bracts minute, linear; flowering bracts and bracteoles minute; leaves almost glabrous: Dicliptera parvibracteata

 b. bracts ciliate, leaves minutely pubescent, bracteoles linear-lanceolate, inflorescence branches hairy: Dicliptera beddomei

2. Flowers in axillary peduncled clusters:

 a. leaves hairy, rounded or obtuse at base;  floral bracts obovate-oblong: Dicliptera cuneata

 b. leaves acuminate at both ends, floral bracts foliaceous: Dicliptera foetida

3. flowers in dense axillary and terminal sessile or subsessile clusters, leaves rhomboid: Dicliptera bupleuroides
4. Flower clusters mostly in axillary whorls, bracts-oblong-obovate; leaves glabrous, ovate: Dicliptera verticellata

Thanks a lot, …, for the keys.
Yes, now it is Dicleptira foetida only.

Peristrophe sp. most probably paniculata.

---

…  Dicliptera and Peristrophe confuse me.

---

Yes sir, for me too it has been confusing …
Clarke in Hook.f., Fl. Brit. India (vol 4, page 389 – 390) writes:
Placentae rising elastically from the base of the capsule ———– Dicliptera
Placentae not rising elastically from the base of the capsule —– Peristrophe

---

I think Dicliptera foetida

---

Peristrophe paniculata….it looks like one

---

… does not look like Dicliptera foetida OR Peristrophe paniculata.
Dicliptera foetida … http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Dicliptera%20foetida
Peristrophe paniculata … http://www.flickr.com/search/Peristrophe%20paniculata

These two taxa can also be distinguished based on the following simple morphological key:
# Cymes capitate; bracts spathulate……….. Dicliptera (for D. cuneata)
# Cymes divaricate; bracts linear……………. Peristrophe (for P. paniculata)
I think the posted plant is Dicliptera, most probably D. foetida as identified by …
…, could your flickr plant be D. cuneata? i am not sure but.

---

…, … as such … identified my plant, and am convinced that it is Dicliptera foetida (syn. D. zeylanica).

Herb ID request – RK99 – 15-Jan-2013:
Requesting identification of this herb from Tungareshwer. This plant is very short, maybe around 6 inches tall and looking at the flowers I thought it is Peristrophe paniculata as per this thread
I am confused because i was browsing the archives and I am unable to tell the differences bet. Peristrophe and Dicliptera. Request the experts to please throw some light on this.

… looks like the stinking foldwing, Dicliptera foetida syn. D. zeylanica (family: Acanthaceae).

a great idea, why not, go ahead, for local names are named by non-botanists; I enjoy your suggestion, I will have to update Flora Andhrika, for a few more species are known to occur in A.P.
