Pergularia sp.? Hooghly 19/9/12 SK : 5 posts by 2 authors.
I was very much confused when i noticed this climber twining a betel nut (Areca catechu L.) tree. I thought these are Dioscorea pentahylla L flowers, but later i realized that it is another climber intertwining the former one. I am sorry for the bad quality of the pictures.
Species : UNKNOWN
Habit & Habitat : wild climber on roadside, couldn’t reach the plant to take measurements
Date : 19/912, 3.40 p.m.
Place : Garalgacha (Hooghly)
Any chance of Pergularia tomentosa L.?
Earlier group posts on Pergularia –
Thank you & Regards, It is a Tylophora sp., I think. The images available in the net suggest that it is Tylophora sp., maybe T. indica. How one can identify a Tylophora species from a Pergularia species? As per key in Bengal Plants this is Tylophora asthmatica (L. f.) Wight & Arn.
Features are : long sepals, peduncles shorter than leaves, pedicels long …etc. These features are not found in all the posts of eFI page – /species/a—l/a/apocynaceae/tylophora/tylophora-indica
I thank … again.

Tylophora ¿ indica / else ? … (family: Apocynaceae, Asclepiadaceae) Yes looks like! You must be correct … I got concerned with the colouring of central structure – it differs from pictures that I see elsewhere. Perhaps the variations exist. I hope this doubt gets validated soon.
