Acanthaceae fortnight ANMAR22/57 Dicliptera Montana : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (10)
Family: Acanthaceae
Date: 21st March 2015 Place: Aralam WLS, Kerala Habit: Herb Habitat: Evergreen forest How to differentiate it from Peristrophe paniculata ? ………I do not see image of flowering axis. This thread shows very different picture for same species This was identified for me by … at the time. And I did not have time to observe this species closely at the time as I was part of a butterfly survey there.
The other taxon mentioned by …- Peristrophe montana Nees seems to be distinct from Dicliptera montana Lindau.
The former is mentioned in the following floras and the descriptions are as follows- Flora of Palghat– Erect herbs; leaves elliptic, acuminate; flowers pale pink, in cymes, bracts 2, conspicuous, leafy, elliptic, glabrous/sparesly hairy; corolla tube twisted; filaments pubescent. Flora of Cannanore (Kannur, the district in which this plant was clicked)- erect undershrub; leaves elliptic, acuminate; flowers pink, in axillary and terminal cymes.
Illustration.
I do not think I have clicked all the details of the plant, I do not have the features of the calyx and the inflorescence of the plant was still young. Looks very close to Stinking Foldwing, Dicliptera foetida Dicliptera zeylanica
Top Slip, Tamil Nadu,
Habitat – Near the river 06 Dec 2009 Most probably species of Peristrophe of Acanthaceae family. Kindly upload a picture of branch with leaves.
It is Peristrophe montana
