This may be a Loranthaceae<\/i>? as i dont have any idea about N E flora i will try to identify this soon<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Please confirm if this was an epiphytic shrub<\/span>. Then these can be fruits of Agapetes<\/i> sp. of Ericaceae<\/i>. Please provide leaf details.<\/p>\n

\n

Flowers like those of Ericaceae<\/i> while inflorescence like those of some Bignoniaceae<\/i>, interesting, would very much like to know the id.<\/p>\n

\n

I think it belongs to Melastomataceae<\/i>. Please compare with genera in that\u00a0 family<\/p>\n

\n

Oxyspora paniculata <\/i>of Melastomataceae<\/i><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
… is right. the characteristic leaf only apart is showing in the first picture. that’s why i had asked what i had asked.
\nI am sure the flower (open) shares some of the features of other members of <\/span>melastomaceae<\/i> flowers we see here in southern 24 paraganas<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

leaves here are red… is it because of color shift in photography or is it because they are “young”…
\ntoo big to be young though… \u00a0and seems there are fuits… if so, how can the leaves be young?
\nunless its flower buds… and not fruits..
\nQuestions questions!!
\nso A VARIANT???? (thre leaves are green in flicker photos… and flowers are just opening)<\/p>\n

\n

You may be right here…
\nthe fall started, the plant was capable enough to convert most of its flowers into fruits, successfully…during its life…
\nnow the season nearing end…
\nno more photosynthesis required…
\nwhen chlorophyll diminishes, hues of other pigments dominate…
\nabscission might have already started, or might be in the process, to curtail the food and water supply…from and to the leaves….
\nnow its ready for hibernation…
\nwith the satisfaction of producing numerous offspring for the generations to come…<\/p>\n

\n

you are right…
\nthat’s first non-medicine physiology of aging I had studied up waaaaayyyy back in the 68 or \u00a070 when I originally got interested in sugar maples changing color…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
