<\/span>Gynura sp possibly travancorica @ Kankeshwar, January 2012:<\/a> The subject line is circumspect for a number of reasons.<\/span><\/div>\n

Had labelled this plant Gynura cusimbua and forgotten all about it till I photographed an almost identical plant whose leaves were glabrous and got down to some reading.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
I have relied on Flora Maharashtra keys for the identity [ref: Flora Maharashtra 3:111 and 3:113].
Erect herb (1-2 ft.) in a dry grassland at the base of a hill<\/font> (Kankeshwar, Alibaug) on Jan. 01, 2012.
<\/font>The leaves are the ‘key’ and the basis for the species id.
This species is listed as ‘near threatened’ in the IUCN red list [<\/font>http:\/\/www.iucnredlist.org\/apps\/redlist\/details\/177396\/0<\/font><\/a>].
Thank You for viewing \/ comments, as appropriate – if indicated.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I would love to see the habit and habitat picture of this plant, if you have the same. <\/p>\n

\n

Here are the keys to genus Gynura<\/b> from Flora Maharashtra 3:11.
1. Leaves glabrous……………………………………………2
2. Climbing or sarmentose herbs—————-G. procumbens<\/b>
2. Erect herbs——————————–3
3. Leaves fleshy, 2.8-4 by 2.8-4 cm ————-G. nitida<\/b>
3. Leaves not fleshy, 2.5 by 2.5 cm————–.<\/font>G. bicolor
<\/font><\/b>1. Leaves with dense tomentum, simple———-.G. travancorica<\/b><\/font>
If any group-member can help locate ‘Flowering plants of India, Nepal & Bhutan’ 229, 1990 by Nathani I will be grateful as Almeida quotes this reference for G. travancorica<\/i>.<\/p>\n
