Acanthaceae Week: Squirrel’s tail – Justicia betonica, a native weed plant<\/a>:
\nSquirrel’s tail<\/b> \u00a0– Hill Justicia<\/b>, Justicia betonica<\/i>, a native weed plant of India<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While Scanning through my wasp photo collection, I \u00a0soon realized this particular flowering plant ..Squirrel’s tail<\/b> \u00a0– Justicia betonica<\/i>.. (Thanks to Dr.\u00a0.. for the ID help.,) had attracted at least a dozen kind of wasps ( few
\nbees too). Dreaming of a wasp garden in my home, I collected few young one’s with roots\u00a0along with few other wasp plants & planted them in \u00a0my home ground. A week later.. I found all of them breathing. Still Alive…. Three weeks later .. the squirrel tails had disappeared altogether.
\nMy sightings suggests they are found along the canal & lake edge habitat. \u00a0These plants start emerging just before the South West Monsoon commences and are in found in abundance in this habitat \u00a0till the spring ends.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chandagal village, Krishnarajanagar, Mysore district.
\n<\/span>Weed plant
\nHabitat: \u00a0along the canal and lake edges
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Few of my South Indian wasp<\/u> pictures,
\n<\/span>http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/earthsublime\/WorldOfWasps<\/span><\/a>
\nBirds, reptiles, mammals and insects \u2013 I have a tremendous liking for all of them. These wasp photographs have been taken in their natural habitats mainly on the village outskirts and a few in the forests as well. (collection started from 2004 onwards). I love these creatures for they are beautiful with true colour combinations and patterns , beautiful pair of antenna and for the way they keep their steps with elegance, graceful pivoting around the flowers, moving its feelers, flying from one flower to another and feeding on nectar. They have very interesting behaviour – choosing the thatched roof for building nests, collecting clay from nearby waterbodies, Buzzing and flying into home from the window\/open doors, nest building skills (of certain wasps), flying with larvaes into nests and sometimes paralysing spiders and dragging into nests, closing the entrance of the nest…. Though, there are many stories on wasp attacks among villagers 9mainly when disturbed), I\u00a0thank them for allowing me always to take few pictures in close proximities. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

I an in total awe… we \u00a0( I ) generally run far from wasps ( I have allergic reactions to some wqaasp and bee stings)…
\nbut wonder of wonders… great photos on your picassa album…. awesome and inspiring… they are crisp, beautifully done…. seems you took time to focus etc… spent time \u00a0near each of the stingers…
\nand this particular justicia, i have never seen one in this part of india…. \u00a0striking green veins..<\/p>\n

\n

Extremely beautiful pictures ……i am a regular reader of National geographic magazine since 1998. i am sure your clicks are more than just comparable.
\ncan you give me details of your equipment (camera and flash)? <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I have a Nikon D40, 18-55mm lens, 70-300mm Nikkor VR and Panasonic Lumix FZ3 (12x).
\n(Back in 2007, I got hooked to \u00a0Nikon D40 reviews, recommendations and release dates (Kenrockwell.com, dpreview.com, steves-digicams.com). Saved enough for months and purchased this equipment the moment it was available in Bangalore. Probably I was one of the first to buy this model in Bangalore… We have far better camera options now. Just get a good one and start clicking..<\/p>\n

\n

Camera equipment and the accessories are coming anew daily and just like mobile phones, you buy something in morning and it is outdated by evening. though in case of cameras it takes a few days at least. there are people who are still using the so called “completely outdated” film role cameras to click photos and give results worth dying for. but what i think is that its the ingenuity and ideas of the person behind the camera which is important. but yeah surely the equipment can contribute to to the patience, inventiveness, viewpoint and importance of the shot which are very very important for the photographs which you had posted.
\nonce again i congratulate you on your work….<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

… names of Justicia betonica in Kannada and Coorgi<\/a>:
\nPlease help in providing valid words for names of Justicia betonica<\/i>\u00a0in Kannada and Coorgi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An extract from a post in Kodaga Community web site:
\n“Madd Toppu<\/b>” (Justicia betonica<\/i>) as it is called in Kodava parlance (“Aati Soppu<\/b>” in Kannada).
\n… Link<\/a><\/div>\n
Thus,
\n… would madd be:
\n1) \u0cae\u0ca1\u0ccd\u0ca1
\n2) \u0cae\u0ca6\u0ccd\u0ca6
\n3) yet different than the above<\/div>\n
… would toppu be:
\n1) \u0c9f\u0cca\u0caa\u0ccd\u0caa\u0cc1
\n2) \u0ca4\u0cca\u0caa\u0ccd\u0caa\u0cc1
\n3) yet different than the above<\/div>\n
… would aati be:
\n1) \u0c86\u0c9f\u0cbf
\n2) \u0c86\u0ca4\u0cbf
\n3) yet different than the above<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Just made a small study on Justicia betonica<\/i> in Kannada and Kodavas<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

– There is no such word aati in any of the Kannada dictionaries I refered.<\/div>\n
– Kodavas use Kannada words while speaking in their language. \u00a0 Based on that I think.
\nMadd means\u00a0Medicinal ) (In Kannada its Madd, (Madh), \u00a0Maddu, )<\/span><\/div>\n
– (Tokku ) Soppu (meaning Green leaves)<\/span><\/div>\n
So, Madd Tokku translates to Medicinal green leaves<\/span>. Not the exact species.
\nJusticia\u00a0Betonica<\/i>\u00a0is indeed a medicinal plant as per the link you have mentioned.<\/div>\n
Here is a link, frlht\u00a0mentions Betonica justicia<\/i> as\u00a0Kaadu kanakambara<\/b>. (Forest(Wild) crossandra.
\nMore acceptable.
\nhttp:\/\/envis.frlht.org\/plant_details.php?disp_id=1256<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

As per KB Sadananda (Rtd. Deputy Editor-Kannada Encyclopedia, University of Mysore) and K Sampathkumar (lecturer, Davanagere PU college), in kodava langauage
\nJusticia wynadensis<\/i> is called as madde toppu<\/b> or AaTi soppu<\/b>. AaTi in kodava is ASHADA a \u00a0during which KASHAYA (juice) of justicia wynadensis<\/i> is prepared and consumed on healthy grounds. It is not Justicia betonica.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
.. with the information you cited in context of *Justicia wynaadensis<\/i>*, would like to know if the spellings in native (Kannada) script used by the Kodaga, put here are correct.

Shrub 5 for identification<\/a>:
\nThis shrub<\/span> was clicked at Chennai, South India<\/span> by the road side<\/span>. There were about a 100 plants in the area, all growing in a tight group just at this one spot. Does this plant attract butterflies? Also what are the good cameras (within the budget of about 25 K, for plant photography, especially for the flowers where images would be sharp through out the picture. These images were taken in Canon 1000D. Image 4 in portrait mode and image1 in TV mode with flash around 7.30 a.m.<\/div>\n
\n
Looks like J. betonica<\/i>. Were bract of all the plants green or you could see some individuals with white bracts (a specialized leaf or leaflike part, usually situated at the base of a flower or inflorescence)?<\/div>\n
Hesperidae<\/i> butterflies were seen foraging most of the Acanthaceae<\/i> plants.<\/div>\n
\n
Yes .. Justicia betonica<\/i><\/div>\n

It is good that brought this up because<\/div>\n

I agree with the treatments followed in flowersofindia website.
\nI also strongly believe that J. trinervia<\/i><\/span> and J. betonica<\/i> are two distinct species<\/span>: the former is generally a low-lying procumbent herb with narrow leaves, <\/span><\/span>whereas the latter species is a taller, erect herb\/subshrub\/shrub reaching 2 m high, with ovate-lanceolate leaves. (nevertheless, the bracts are similar-looking: scarious with green nerves in both the species).
\n<\/span>Your plant looks like J. betonica<\/i> to me.
\nThe Plant List follows Tropicos <\/a><\/span> which has treated J. trinervia<\/i> as synonym to J. betonica<\/i> based on two publications (Russell et al., 1987; Immelmann, 1988). But I think it needs a recheck.

Names of Plants in India :: Telugu name of Justicia betonica<\/a> : 3 posts by 1 author.
\nDear friends, please help in providing the Telugu name\u00a0<\/span>tellarantu<\/i> (or <\/span>thellarantu<\/i>) for <\/span>Justicia betonica<\/i>, in native script.
\n<\/span>Reference : <\/span>ENVIS – FRLHT<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n

From the dictionary, I could find \u0c24\u0c46\u0c32\u0c4d\u0c32 = white \/ pale … a prefix quite often used to describe a white \/ pale form of some aspect of the plant.
\nBut I am not confident with the latter part of the name “rantu”.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

It is written as\u00a0\u0c24\u0c46\u0c32\u0c4d\u0c32 \u0c30\u0c02\u0c24\u0c41<\/b><\/span> <\/span>Rantu means way\/road in telugu because of white veins seen as roads on the bract it may be called TELLA RANTU<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Thank you very much … for the name and etymology. Great help.<\/p>\n
