Frankly speaking it was of that color only and at once I thought that its a different species all together. So I was even skeptic in sharing with wrong id. But while reading the protologue I realised that it is supposed to be very pale violet only (dilute violaceus) which to me is same as the colours of the petals in the pic. May be you have seen some more colour variants. Do share pics if possible.<\/div>\n
Secondly, thanks a lot for the elaborate description.
\nThirdly, you have mentioned “Type probably from India”. You are absolutely right because according to the protologue the type should be from Cochin only.<\/span><\/div>\n

I had just now shared my photographs of this sp. from\u00a0 Mizoram<\/span> in a seperate link. Do have a look… efi thread<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Doesn’t Cochinchinae<\/i> refer to Vietnam\u00a0 (http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cochinchina<\/a>) ? So I don’t think the type must be from India (Cochin).<\/div>\n

TRIBUTE TO FLOSCOPA SCANDENS<\/a> : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1<\/span>)
\n<\/span>For me natural world is a reservoir of shapes, colours, fragrance. At times I use images of flowers, leaves\u00a0 of plants, wings of butterflies and birds to arrange them in a particular fashion (I call them Aplpana. You can call it Rangoli). I use images of setting sun at times for this purpose. Yesterday I uploaded image of a flowering plant and … identified the plant as <\/span>Floscopa scandens<\/i>. To day I used image of this flower to make the background of an ALPANA. and liked it. If I forget about the name and other details of this plant, this beauty will always remind me this wonderful creation of nature. Uploading the same. There are other participants in the pattern. You may like to focus at the background.<\/span><\/div>\n
