Bromeliad for ID : Mumbai : 281111 : AK-2: An Ornamental potted plant, probably a Bromeliad, taken at Jijamata Udyan on the 18th of Nov,11. Had posted it earlier but could see it flowering during this visit. cant id it, (cant tell you its binomial) but does look like a bromeliad… I used to have a whole bunch of them, and the waterpools in its crown would have little tadpoles of the green tree frogs swimming in them, then golf courses sprouted around our homes and they sprayed so much poison to keep the greens green that there was a statewide loss of green frogs and garden lizards… … environmental movement started in earnest then… when the green tree frogs disappeared….

Euphorbiaceae week – ?Euphorbia, ID help please 20110312sm: photographed at the Veer Jijamata Udyan in early January 2011. Garden shrub, 3-4 ft; was seen growing in a huge pot; no stem, leaves sprang from very close to the ground. The ?flower / inflorescence was silver in color (as seen in images). The leaf margin had small spines; leaves stiff, smooth surface and curved laterally. Bromeliaceae. Some of the so called Cat’s Claw. Could this possible be Bromelia balansea Mez. or Bromelia pinguin. I came across the description of Bormelia balansae in Aima’s book Pg 64 as follows: ” A large dense and vicious terrestrial rosette about 3 ft. tall, used for fencing; stiff green leaves with dangerous hook spines facing both directions; center turning red before bloom; flowers white, in paniculate inflorescence forming branches of small. ovoid, orange yellow fruit with pineapple flavour. Can be easily confused with B. pinguin, but balansae has broad sepal tips, while pinguin has needle-like sepal tips and loose inflorescence.” Posting my pictures taken at Jijamata Udyan….hope of the same plant.
