Cultivated herb<\/span> with narrow linear leaves and orange red flowers about 5 cm long on branched spicate panicles on scape.

\n
\n

Is it not Crocosmia<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n
You may be right. I have lot of Freesia<\/i> seen but the genus never came to my mind when photographing it. Freesia seemed closer when … suggested it.
\nLet us explore further<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

I think Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora<\/i> (Lemoine) N. E. Br.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes sir, looks same to me.<\/p>\n

\n

Definitely Crocosmia<\/i> but difficult to say which hybrd.

uncontrollable weedy growth

I am not sure whether this was planted or was growing wild….<\/p>\n

\n

It is planted and forgotten in USA. Also true of Rosemary, Lavender, Agapanthus<\/i>, Oenothera<\/i> and several other plants.<\/p>\n

ID this plant seen in Darjeeling and also in places in Sikkim.<\/a>\u00a0: 8 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1)
\n<\/span>Please help me identify this.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Thanks, …,\u00a0 Do you have image of the leaves ?<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Not much of an image to go on but this is distinctive.\u00a0 Commonly known in UK as ‘Montbretia’<\/b> this is Crocosmia x crocosmifolia<\/i>.\u00a0Local forms typically with\u00a0tawny-orange flowers but specific cultivars available.\u00a0<\/span> According to Flora of Bhutan found in Darjeeling Town etc. and Sikkim (Yoksum etc.) – a hybrid of horticultural origin from S.African parents commonly cultivated in gardens in Darjeeling and Sikkim, less frequently in Bhutan but not becoming naturalised.<\/span>\u00a0 Close to Gladiolus<\/i> (Iridaceae<\/i> – the Iris family).<\/div>\n
Commonly cultivated in UK<\/span> and very tolerant of shade; naturalised by sides of lakes, rivers and ditches in\u00a0hedge-banks, on waste ground and in woods, spreading by vegetative means and by seed.<\/span><\/div>\n
First raised at\u00a0Nancy, France by Victor Lemoine by crossing C.potsii<\/i> with C.aurea<\/i>. Flowered for first time in 1880.
\n<\/span>Even found it within the 2km x 2km tetrad local tetrad I am recording towards the Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland’s 2020 Atlas in waste ground at the edge of a wood where garden refuse was dumped.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Thanks so much for the id, …! I almost thought it was a naturally growing plant since I could see it everywhere on the hills. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\n
Greetings.\u00a0 Your observation suggests that this plant has naturalised<\/span> (whereas in ‘Flora of Bhutan’ the authors said it was not (at least not when published in 1994) but their frist-hand\u00a0field experience in Sikkim would have been minimal (or perhaps even zero as they concentrated upon Bhutan).\u00a0 I hope\u00a0‘Montbretia’ has not or does not, become an invasive weed\u00a0damaging populations of native plants. In<\/span> the wetter districts of the UK (and many other parts of Europe, through to arctic Norway and even Alaska) ‘Himalayan Balsam’ (Impatiens glandulifera<\/i>) has become<\/span><\/div>\n
an invasive weed being troublesome in places – it seems to have been first introduced (deliberately, for its ornamental merit sometimes back in the 1830s).<\/span><\/div>\n
Plants are naturalised all over the world.\u00a0I encounter many people who think a cultivated plant or escape from cultivation (or a plant which arrived accidently as seed) are natives\/growing wild.<\/div>\n
Some of\u00a0such plants which in the UK botanists call ALIENS & ADVENTIVES can be prominent and showy.<\/div>\n
The National Flower of the Philippines (decided by an American) is not a native species!
\nWhere I live in\u00a0the UK, such ALIENS & ADVENTIVES represent a significant part of the flora.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
Thank you for much for your delightful mail. We can only hope that Montbretia hasn’t become invasive yet in the Eastern Himalayas. I understand that it clearly (at least at some point) was a cultivated species, but could it have been introduced as such by the British during the colonial period to India?<\/div>\n
It’s truly a pity that such a lovely Himalayan species as the ‘Himalayan balsam’ has now turned into an invasive specie.<\/div>\n
Thanks again so much for helping me identify Montbretia, it had bothered me for too long.<\/div>\n

CLIVIA<\/span><\/a>:
\nI saw coloured pictures of Clivia in books. This is a bulbus plant of African origin. I was on a trip to Shilong<\/span> in 2002. There I saw the plant in bloom. I collected some bulbs and put them in a pot. The plants survived but there were no flowers. We got the first flowers from our Clivia plants in 2008. In 2010 I observed with surprise that Sunbirds visit the flowers in search of nectar. Attaching an image in which Female of a Purple Sunbird<\/span><\/b> is on the flower of Clivia<\/i>. I learn everyday from nature.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Sorry but your plant is absolutely not a Clivia<\/i>. The flowers are of the wrong shape and Clivia<\/i> is never bulbous so you can collect bulbs. They are evergreen with an appearance of a fat leek.<\/p>\n

\n

Definitely it is Crocosmia<\/i> Sp (Family: Iridaceae<\/i>).
\nIt is an exotic plant common in Shillong gardens as well as in wild as escapes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The plant is available in our Manipur State: like Crocosmia<\/i> aurea<\/i> (Pappe ex J.D. Hooker) Planchon, however, the photo may be a hybrid Crocosmia<\/i> Jackanapes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nID Request- Lily at Kudremukh WLS-PKA1<\/a>: 7 images.
\nI saw this lily in Kudremukh region Karnataka<\/span> near a water stream.<\/span> Requesting ID.<\/p>\n
\n

Crocosmia \u00d7crocosmiiflora\u00a0<\/i>(Lemoine)\u00a0N.E.Br<\/a>. ???<\/p>\n

\n

This was found in wild near a stream.<\/p>\n

\n

As per Dr Hussain Barbhuiya, this looks like Bulbil Bugle-lily<\/span>
\nWatsonia meriana<\/em> (L.) Mill.<\/p>\n

\n
The ID looks correct but there is no distribution in India, so it\u00a0may be an exotis sp.<\/div>\n
One sp. introduced :<\/div>\n
