I have only seen this plant one in Bengal<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

how is it different from C. halicacabum<\/i> ?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Yes, this is Cardiospermum canescens<\/i> (= C. halicacabum<\/i> var. luridum<\/i>). Stems and leaves are densely hairy; fruits inflated, more than 2 cm across, neither lobed, nor winged.<\/span><\/p>\n

DV :: 01MAY12 – 0512 :: small herb in dried field at Tungwadi:<\/a>
\nPlace: at Tung Wadi, Lonavala<\/span>
\nTime: May 1, 2012 at 5.12pm
\nHabit: small herb, \u00bf perhaps with climbing tendency ?
\nHabitat: growing wild in dried field ~ 2500 ft asl
\nPlant height: about 8 – 12 inches<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

This looks like <\/span>Cardiospermum<\/b> sp. Could be C. corindum<\/i> ( Family:<\/b> Sapindaceae<\/i>).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This one looks like <\/span>cardiospermum halicacabum<\/i> (Family: <\/span>Sapindaceae<\/i> )??<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Yes\u00a0…, fruits may help in confirming further<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
you almost got it. This is Cardiospermum microcarpum<\/i> Kunth.
\nLeaves are pubescent and the flowers (size should have been given) are almost 2 cm, much bigger than in C. halicacabum<\/i>.<\/span> The capsules are not winged <\/span>as in latter.<\/span><\/div>\n

Nice pics … Check for Cardiospermum<\/i> sp…<\/p>\n

\n
Thanks … It looks like Cardiospermum<\/i> Sp.
\nwe will wait for confirmation.<\/div>\n
\n

first… how big are these flowers…???\u00a0 it seems the flower and the fuit are the same size see the last pic above ….
\nsecondly… we have had lively and scientific discussion on two cardiospermum<\/i> sp in india<\/p>\n

several threads exist… foi has had problems don’t if they were corrected
\nbut look at our threads
\n1 this was very informative and collegial… efi thread<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

thread started by … sending in very useful data
\n2: and key pdf in this thread<\/a>
\n<\/span>so tell me what is this sp in this thread based on the key in the above thread<\/p>\n

\n
Cardiospermum<\/span><\/a>\u00a0– species in eFIoraofindia (with details\/ keys from published papers\/ regional floras\/ FRLHT\/ FOI\/ efloras\/ books etc., where ever available)<\/span><\/span>
\nIt can be <\/span>Cardiospermum corundum<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

Yes it is <\/span>Cardiospermum corundum<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Seems to be Cardiospermum halicacabum<\/i><\/p>\n

\n
Please check this link wherein Cardiospermum canescens<\/i> photograph has been posted.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/21\/in\/photostream\/<\/span><\/a>.
\nYour picture has resemblance to this photograph. You may decide the ID in comparison with\u00a0 other species.\u00a0 No confirmation from my side.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

It is very interesting to note that KEW herbarium marked as type species of C. corindum<\/i>\u00a0L. is very similar to what I see here – C. helicacabum<\/i>\u00a0L., a very common herb (and we have only this one here, in Hooghly) –<\/p>\n
