\n

Satpura is considered as link between Himalaya and Western Ghat, it has many plants of Himalaya as well as of Western ghat.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

… me too think it to be A. coynei<\/i> … about having put endemic to northern Western Ghats is part of my notes in flickr … needs verification and study.<\/p>\n

    Nice. wonder what makes the flower head so pink. not green.
    \nthe two groups of “herbal” apaamarg I have seen were in various gardens in Gujarat and in various gardens in Bengal were all green… may be a very minute tinge of pink if any…at all..<\/p>\n

    \n

    What you say is correct. I have seen both plants with green and red inflorescence.
    \nAchyranthes coynei<\/i> is almost always red flowered.
    \n<\/span>The two species are really confusing.
    \nActually if one looks at only the above flowers it looks like Achyranthes coynei<\/i>
    \nAdding two more pictures where the flowers are red but the leaves are typical Achyranthes aspera var. aspera<\/i><\/p>\n

    \n

    … you may check the plant size, flower size and other features to check for A. coynei<\/i>.<\/p>\n

    Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week : sk-18 : Achyranthes aspera var. indica L.:<\/a>
    \nThis is typical     Achyranthes aspera<\/span><\/a><\/i> L.<\/span><\/a>, the spike of which can attain a length of 2 ft. or more.<\/span> This variety seems to be the <\/span>Achyranthes aspera<\/i> var. indica<\/i> L<\/span><\/a> of FoC<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    Yes <\/span>A.aspera var. aspera<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    According to FoC the stem of A. aspera<\/i> var. aspera<\/i> is quadrangular<\/span><\/a>. The plant in this thread doesn’t have quadrangular stem.<\/p>\n

    \n

    It is not var. porphyristachya<\/i> so it has to be var. aspera<\/i> due to tomentose nature of leaves.<\/span>
    \nOther characters are matching. I think in some places the stem appears quadrangular<\/p>\n

    \n
    I doubt if this plant has quadrangular shape anywhere on its stem.<\/span><\/div>\n
    According to FoC<\/u> –<\/span><\/div>\n
    (i) leaf margin slightly undulate ——- <\/span>Achyranthes aspera<\/i> var. aspera<\/i><\/span><\/a>
    \n(ii) leaf margin undulate —— <\/span>    Achyranthes aspera<\/i> var. indica<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n<\/div>\n

    This is becoming complicated at the same time interesting.
    \nFrom BSI Flora Mah<\/u> I know that following sp. exist from Achyranthes<\/i>.
    \n1. Infl. of terminal spikes, simple or branched. Flowers greeninsh-white … A.aspera<\/i>
    \n<\/span>1. Infl. first erect, later patent,finally deflexed and appressed to rachis;\u00a0flowers rosy or purplish …\u00a0 A.coynei<\/i><\/span>
    \nNow A.aspera<\/i> has two varieties
    \n2. Leaves thick, velvetty tomentose or silky rachis stout. … … var.aspera<\/i>
    \n<\/span>2. Leaves membranous, glabrous or sparsely pubescent;\u00a0rachis slender\u00a0\u00a0 … <\/span>var.porphyristachya.<\/span><\/i>
    \nthere is no mention of var. indica<\/i>.
    \nWhat I am calling A.aspera<\/i> var. aspera<\/i> is close to your A.aspera<\/i> var. indica<\/i>.
    \nMy understanding may be wrong…..?<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
    The “Bengal Plants” also describes two varieties of A. aspera<\/i> (F. B. I. has three though), A. aspera<\/i> and A. aspera<\/i> var. porphyristachia<\/i>.<\/span><\/div>\n
    I agree with your view – “It is not var. porphyristachya<\/i> ….”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
    Since it is the typical Achyranthes aspera<\/i> which includes another or more varieties what i learned from … (<\/span>in an earlier discussion on different plant<\/span><\/a>) is that this original plant should be automatically named (autonym) as A. aspera<\/i> var. aspera<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
    But,…..<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
    FoC goes one step further – <\/span>http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200006961#KEY-1-3<\/span><\/a> ….<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
    After reading the descriptions in FoC i picked out the<\/span> A. aspera<\/i> var. indica<\/i><\/span><\/a>, leaving aside <\/span>A. aspera<\/i> var. aspera<\/i><\/span><\/a>, because this plant doesn’t have 1) quadrangular stem and 2) leaf-margin is more undulate.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
    However, according to FoP <\/span>Achyranthes aspera<\/i> var. indica<\/i><\/a> is simply A. aspera<\/i> which includes three varieties<\/a>!!!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
    So, i think all those eflora should be blamed for complicating things!
    \n<\/span>Here is some relief……!<\/span><\/div>\n

    names :: crocus stuff VS. crokars staff<\/a> : 5 posts by 3 authors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    It is interesting to note that two names in English for Achyranthes aspera<\/i> L. … crocus stuff<\/b> and crokars staff<\/b> – both sound somewhat similar when spoken.<\/div>\n
    Could both of them be valid names for this plant? OR has one of them have just happened to become popular, out of sheer laxity to know about its relation to the plant.<\/div>\n
    While both “stuff” and “staff” could be part of a plant’s name, Crocus and Crokar in context of Achyranthes becomes intriguing.<\/div>\n
    Crocus<\/i> is a genus belonging to Iridaceae (iris family), and Crocus sativus<\/i> is known for the world-famous spice – saffron.<\/div>\n
    Thus, if there is any stuff about A. aspera<\/i> having quality of crocus, it will be good to know that it is a valid name.<\/div>\n
    Crokar – I was not able to find any meaning or connection with Achyranthes aspera<\/i>.<\/div>\n
    I hope someone helps in validating these names for Achyranthes aspera<\/i>.<\/div>\n
    \n

    All said, both these names have no popularity in India compared to prickly chaff-flower.<\/p>\n

    \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Net showing both names.<\/p>\n

    \n
    Yes, … Both names are found in almost all pages that discuss Achyranthes aspera<\/i>.<\/div>\n
    \n

    They both sound similar when spoken – I have raised a doubt whether one of them is invalid.<\/p>\n

    Achyranthes aspera<\/i> ……gave up on it long ago .<\/p>\n

    I encounter lot of variation ………<\/span><\/div>\n
    Short annual vs perennial\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
    Leaf grey white vs red dotted vs reddish\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

    I went through the Genus ….. simply non other exists in my region. In Matheran I came across A .bidentata<\/i> and my belief became firmer.<\/p>\n

    \n
    yes. I echo\u00a0… sentiments. what we saw in Agri hort herbal lectures and their garden was very different from what we saw in similar week long classes in kutch and Gujarat.<\/div>\n
