… species of <\/span>Chrozophora<\/i> … most probably <\/span>C. rottleri<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Few days back similar plant posted by .. at efi thread<\/a>
\nPlease wait for comments. Yes it seems to be Chrozophora rottleri<\/i>. Although there is some confusion in eFlora of Pakistan<\/span>, the two species are quite distinct:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Chrozophora rottleri<\/i><\/b> (Geiseler) A.Juss. ex Spreng., Syst. Veg. 3: 850, 1826; Welzen, Blumea 44: 420, Fig. 2, Map1. syn: <\/span>Croton rottleri<\/i> Geiseler; <\/span>Chrozophora plicata<\/i> (Vahl) A.Juss. ex Spreng. var. <\/span>rottleri<\/i> (Geiseler) M\u00fcll.Arg.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Characterised by somewhat erect habit, larger leaves (up to 6 cm long), lighter green, surface uneven above but not folded (plicate), base usually symmetrical, inflorescence longer than leaf at least in fruit; fruit with flat stellate hairs, lepidote (rough, covered with scales, spreading (patent) hairs absent.

Plants prostrate, leaves smaller (up to 3 cm long), darker green, surface strongly folded (plicate), base oblique; inflorescence shorter than leaves; fruit with spreading hairs, stellate hairs three dimensional.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

I had uploaded C. plicata<\/i> recently
\nefi thread<\/a>
\nGenus Chrozophora<\/i> was revised in Blumea: Welzen, P.C.\u00a0 van. 1999. Revision and Phylogeny of subtribes Chrozophorinae<\/i> and Doryxylinae<\/i> (Euphorbiaceae<\/i>). Blumea 44: 411–436.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
I am uploading the Fruit of Chrozophora plicata<\/i> to make comparison easier. It is unreduced so that it can be enlarged to see the differences.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

.. … do we gather that the fruits of C. plicata<\/i> are coated with downy hair, and considerably smaller in size (compared to that of C. rottleri<\/i>) ?<\/p>\n

\n

.., \u00a0size I may not know, but hairs yes<\/p>\n

\n

As per BSI flora, C. prostrata<\/i> Dalz.& Gibs. is a prostrate herb, leaf base subcordate and racemes short and C. rottleri<\/i> (Gies) Juss. syn C. plicata<\/i> Voigt. is an erect herb 80 cm tall, leaf base truncate or cuneate and racemes elongate.<\/span> Both, the Alibag plant and Vikaspuri plant, seem to be the latter.<\/p>\n

\n

BSI Flora Part 4 containing Euphorbiaceae<\/i> was publishes in 1985, where as recent revision of genus Chrozophora<\/i> was published by Welzen in 1999.
\nWelzen, P.C.\u00a0 van. 1999. Revision and Phylogeny of subtribes Chrozophorinae<\/i> and Doryxylinae <\/i>(Euphorbiaceae<\/i>). Blumea 44: 411–436.
\n<\/span>As per Kew Plant List <\/span>C. prostrata<\/i> is considered as synonym of<\/span> C. plicata<\/i>. Also <\/span>C. rottleri<\/i> and <\/span>C. plicata<\/i> are two distinct species with the differences I had given earlier yesterday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chrozophora rottleri :: Pune Feb. 2013:<\/a> (10 images) Please validate this Chrozophora<\/i> sp. I think this is Chrozophora rottleri<\/i>.
\nFamily : Euphorbiaceae<\/i>.
\nObserved in Pune<\/span> in dried riverbed.
\n<\/span>Not exactly prostrate but at some places it appeared prostrate too. Some plants like shrub with a height of 3 feet or more.
\n<\/span>Overall plants hairy.
\nLeaves triangular with length and breadth almost same. Large sized leaf around 15cm.
\nInflorescence with basal red female flowers and apical male yellow
\n<\/span>In a selected twigs the inflorescence appeared longer than the corresponding leaves associated with it.
\nOvary\/ Fruit: Hairy with stellate flat hairs<\/u> as shown in the magnified pictures because of which it points to being Chrozophora rottleri<\/i><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\n

Nice and Complete set of Pics<\/p>\n

Wild plant for ID : 260411 : AK-3<\/a>:
\nTaken near Dindori, Maharashtra<\/span> at a farm<\/span> on the 27th of Feb, 2011<\/span>.
\nTiny plant, flowers resembling that of Castor<\/span> but the leaves were different.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

– This to me looks like Chrozophora plicata<\/i> from Euphorbiaceae<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

– As per KEW Plant list Chrozophora rottleri<\/i> and C. plicata<\/i> are two distinct species. The true C. rottleri<\/i> to my mind is one displayed at FOI website with non-pleated leaves and white flowers<\/span> whereas the above plant, and one I had uploaded a few days back clearly <\/span>pleated (plicate ) leaves and smaller pink flowers, characteristic of <\/span>C. plicata..<\/span> <\/i><\/p>\n

\n

– I think this is Chrozophora plicata<\/i> very common weed in Bengal<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

– In Maharashtra 2 species of Chrozophora <\/i>are found, the foto is of Chrozophora prostrata<\/i> Dalz. & Gibs. syn. C. plicata <\/i>Spreng. and not C. rottleri<\/i> syn. C. plicatum<\/i> Voight.<\/p>\n

\n

– Again reverse
\nC. prostrata<\/i> Dalz. & Gibs is synonym of C. plicata<\/i> (Vahl) A. Juss. ex Spreng according to recent databases<\/p>\n

\n
A reply in another thread<\/span><\/a>:
\n“The real Chrozophora plicata<\/i> (Vahl) A.Juss. ex Spreng. does not occur in India. It is confined to Africa and Middle East. What is given as C. plicata in Indian floras are now known as Chrozophora rottleri <\/b>(Geisl.) A.Juss. ex Spreng.<\/span>“<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Yes, this is Chrozophora rottleri<\/i> (Geisl.) A.Juss. ex Spreng.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
