ID Request 17/12/2011 SS2 : Sauropus sp. from Palakkad district, Kerala:

Please help identify this shrub, Sauropus sp. (Family: Phyllanthaceae).

Photographed on 11 Aug 2011 from Palakkad district in the wild.
Elevation near sea level.

is it cup and saucer plant???

The Cup and Saucer plant is Holmskioldia sanguinea belonging to the family Lamiaceae.

This plant is a relative of Sauropus androgynus commonly called Star gooseberry, Sweet leaf etc. S. androgynus is a popular leafy vegetable in SE Asia.
It is common in the gardens in Trivandrum and we use its leaf as a vegetable.

This is not Holmskioldia sanguine. It is a big cvlimber (looks similar to Bougeinvilla plant from distance).Please see the link at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmskioldia_sanguinea for the real Holmskioldia sanguinea.

The photographs are Sauropus quadrangularis (Willd.) Muell.-Arg. (=Sauropus compressus Muell.-Arg.) showing variation.

Yes, I agree with …, It is Sauropus quadrangularis (Willd.) Muell.-Arg.
Syn: Phyllanthus quadrangularis Willd.; Sauropus compressus Muell.-Arg

The photography is excellent. The undivided male calyx segments point to Sauropus quadrangularis (Willd.) Mull.Arg., now called Breynia quadrangularis (Willd.) Chakrab. & N.P.Balakr.
