As per efi thread:
When in doubt I always fall back on FBI. Though two species B. prionitis and B. cuspidata look similar, the deciding factor is leaves subsessile narrowly oblong lanceolate, not more than 8 mm broad in B. cuspidata; distinctly petiolate (petiole 12-25 mm long), elliptic, 2-4 cm broad in B. prionitis; Also bracts of B. cuspidata are narrowly lanceolate smaller; larger, foliaceous and elliptic in B. prionitis.
.
Both Barleria montana and B. prattensis resemble in their general morphology hence may be confusing. Calyx features seem to be variable so cannot be wholly relied on. But the seed character is distinct enough to distinguish the two species. According to Shendage & Yadav (2010, Revision of genus Barleria in India):
Seeds clothed with appressed-silky hairs —— Barleria montana
Seeds glabrous ——- Barleria prattensis

Please refer to Cooke’s Flora

Barleria prionitis L. : leaves elliptic, acuminate bristle-tipped; bracteoles linear-subulate; flowers spicate above
Barleria cuspidata Heyne ex Nees: leaves subsessile, oblong-lanceolate, acute, bristle-tipped; bracteoles zero or a few minute bristles; flowers solitary in opposite axils
.
Both species are showing 2 stamens but the flower colour is different in prionitis and cuspidata.
In prionitis flower is orange-yellow but in cuspidata it is yellow.
In both plants leaves are ovate-elliptic, flowers solitary or axillary and bracts linear-lanceolate.
But
Outer sepals with glandular hairs inside; style glabrous……….. B. cuspidata
Outer sepals without glandular hairs inside; style hirsute at base.…… B. prionitis
.

Flora of Haryana: Barleria cuspidata from Near Munak Karnal: Sharing pics of  Barleria cuspidata from Near Munak Karnal
I identified this as Barleria cuspidata instead of B prionitis due to presence of two stamens


This should not be Barleria cuspidata. Barleria cuspidata has thorns almost an inch long, which are about the size of the flower-tube. Barleria prionitis, on the other hand, has thorns about 1 cm long, about half the size of the flower-tube. Also leaves of Barleria cuspidata are narrower, oblong-lanceshaped.
Moreover, Barleria cuspidata is endemic to Peninsular India, so not expected to be seen in Haryana. This looks like Barleria prionitis only.

Barleria prionitis L.
at Vaghbil, Thane on December 25, 2006
at Yeoor Hills on November 29, 2009

I hope you will help me out in sorting out my B. cuspidata and B. prionitis. I seem to have both, but knowing the clear cut differences. A few keys in books don’t help much.


I have a strong feeling that the first picture (taken at Vaghbil, Thane on December 25, 2006) is Barleria cuspidata. Please validate.


Yes, really difficult as different sources say different things as per details at top at Barleria prionitis

I think flower dissection is required, if we follow keys in Revision of the Genus Barleria (Acanthaceae) in India:

Outer sepals with glandular hairs inside; style glabrous……….. B. cuspidata
Outer sepals without glandular hairs inside; style hirsute at base.…… B. prionitis
I have separately sent you the copy of the above publication.

Barleria prionitis seems to be easily recognized by lot of members. It is Barleria cuspidata that poses doubt, and may need dissection to assert OR rule out.

Let me see if I come across any doubtful B. cuspidata in coming times. I will attempt dissecting to check the sepals and style.
I also hope that eFI gets more and more pictures of both these species from experts, so that it becomes easier to compare with photos. That is, if I am wanting to avoid the dissecting procedure.

barleria priontis, in a garbage dump

alibaug, this sunday


I Think Barleria cuspidata instead of B prionitis due to presence of two stamens


I too think it is Barleria cuspidata at first look.
Both species are showing 2 stamens but the flower colour is different in prionitis and cuspidata.
In prionitis flower is orange-yellow but in cuspidata it is yellow.
In both plants leaves are ovate-elliptic, flowers solitary or axillary and bracts linear-lanceolate.
But
Outer sepals with glandular hairs inside; style glabrous……… B. cuspidata
Outer sepals without glandular hairs inside; style hirsute at base .…………… B. prionitis

For more reference please go through the attached paper.


I feel this is closer to images at Barleria prionitis L. rather than that at Barleria cuspidata F.Heyne ex Nees

¿ Lepidagathis species ?  
Dear friends,
I am confused; not sure if this is Lepidagathis. Please help with ID.

seems its thriving

I could not find a match as per comparative images 


Also check comparative images at Justicia

Checked through Justicia, could not find any that looks like posted plant. Mainly the spines at the nodes … if there are no Lepidagathis, could it be some Barleria ? Will check later.

It is close to Barleria prionitis

Does not matches with images at Barleria prionitis or any other species so far at Barleria as per comparative images.

Seems to be Barleria prionites

Thanks … for following up on this query.

Many thanks to … for suggesting Barleria prionitis, seconding … similar thought.

It is indeed Barleria prionitis var. diacantha Blatt. & Hallb. … I have posted today photos of same plant in other (wet) places of the park, showing some of the last flowers of the season.

Barleria prionitis var. diacantha Blatt. & Hallb.
Dear friends,
I had skipped posting pictures of this plant, found at various places in the park, because they were at fag end of flowering – you can clearly see the fact in the photos put below. The reason for posting them today is to bring to your notice one faded flower, almost white, in the first photo. This was brought to my attention by one of my flickr friends that Barleria prionitis exhibits such fading glory of the flower. In this park, rather in this region, Barleria prionitis var. diacantha, is found distributed.
Thus, the plants posted in another Lepidagathis :: Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park :: 24 OCT 18 are Barleria prionitis var. diacantha, well supported by comments from …

A 4th one from Ridge in March


Thanks … for prompting me for re-look. When in doubt I always fall back on FBI. Though two species B. prionitis and B. cuspidata look similar, the deciding factor is leaves subsessile narrowly oblong lanceolate, not more than 8 mm broad in B. cuspidata; distinctly petiolate (petiole 12-25 mm long), elliptic, 2-4 cm broad in B. prionitis; Also bracts of B. cuspidata are narrowly lanceolate smaller; larger, foliaceous and elliptic in B. prionitis. This clearly identifies my plant with B. prionitis. They are corroborated by images at Flowers of India.
This image of same population should help further.

Santali name(s) of Barleria prionitis:

Please help with the name kanta phul for Barleria prionitis in Ol Chiki script.
Reference: A Santali-English dictionary by A. Campbell, of the Santal mission
Does ᱠᱟᱱᱛᱟ ᱯᱦᱩᱞ make sense 🙂 … I typed it using one online transcriber (Roman to Ol Chiki)

If there are any other valid names, please help me with them too.


The Transcription for kanta phul will be ᱠᱟᱱᱴᱟ ᱯᱷᱩᱞ

I have also used these tools but, the online transcription tools for Santali language are experimental and constant efforts are done to make it accurate. I hope it will be improved in the future.


Other valid names are ᱨᱟᱹᱭᱞᱟᱹ ᱵᱟᱦᱟ (raila baha)


Thank you very much … for helping with kanta phul in the Ol Chiki script.
Also, many thanks for help with another name of this plant in Santali – ᱨᱟᱹᱭᱞᱟᱹ ᱵᱟᱦᱟ (raila baha)
