Flora picture of the Year 2014- J.M.Garg : 13 posts by 10 authors. Attachments(1) Excellent photograph. Looks to be an Impatiens sp. with such big bean like seed pod? Nice picture, … Certainly your dedication to eFI, has in some way cast a kind of shadow on your explorations; however, the larger picture of eFI in perpetual bloom is a big joy. Excellent Shot … To me also it looks like Impatiens sp Nice picture .., More than that, your achievements at eFI are far more outreaching….this is for certain that such a big task like updating the database on a regular basis and related activities requires full time commitment and devotion, and you are doing this excellently.. Thanks, … It is not that I don’t go out. I regularly go with my family but miss my treks.

Hope to get time in future after attending priority works of efloraofindia. Himalayan mountains are full of floral beauty, one has to explore to see. But these explorations are demanding- time, strength, money, passion and good company too.
Herb from Uttarakhand (07): ID Requested : 10 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2) Please help in id this plant. Please check for Lysionotus species in Gesneriaceae.

I requests to the experts for validation of id, Please. HNBGU, Srinagar, Uttarakhand
Only one species of Lysionotus is known in Uttarakhand (L.serratus) and the plant is correctly identified. I am taking it as Lysionotus serratus D.Don (Gesneriaeae). This plants is a Lysinotus serratus D. Don. (Gesneriaceae)
Gori Valley Tour: Epiphyte for id from Munsiyari: are these seedpods? Looks like a Lysionotus sp (Gesneriaceae) to me. I think I can see three different orchids in your pics. Oberonia, Coelogyne and Pholidota. Chirita pumila in fruiting, a plant with flowers you posted earlier. … you have to recheck images of Chirita pumila here as the leaves & calyx seems to be glabrous in view of illustration at FOC
Also see … images at another thread
Agree with Lysionotus sp….cab be checked for L. serratus Some more information in the link about C. pumila Enclosing some more pictures I took on 24 July 2016 at the Sundarijal at 5500 ft. I guess these are also Chirita pumila. Please verify. Attachments (3) Thanks, … I think matches with images at Lysionotus serratus

Does not matches with images at Lysionotus serratus D. Don Also does not seem to match with any Gesneriaceae member so far in efi. Some experts confirmed it is Lysionotus serratus D. Don.
Your opinion please !
After seeing wide variations of this species as per the following, I agree with you:
Thank you … for such a detailed exploration
herb from Bhutan
Thanks, …, Was it wild or cultivated ? It is wild Try Lysionotus. Either its a part of shrub or tree ?
Appears to be some Gesneriaceae member This could be Lysionotus serratus as character are reflecting. There is another similar species L. kingii where leaves are entire along margins. Possibly after type never collected! I guess … has correctly identified. Please compare with images at Lysionotus serratus – efloraofindia
