Chonemorpha<\/em> sp.?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks for the lead! It does look like Chonemorpha fragrans<\/em> in the wild.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks, …,<\/div>\n
What I find missing from numerous observations in efi site at <\/span>Chonemorpha fragrans<\/span><\/em><\/a>, is the yellow throat.<\/span><\/div>\n
It is possible that it may have been some of its variety in the past. But needs more searching. eFloras site is also not opening to check with their descriptions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Attaching another shot, showing the calyx. Since the calyx is divided almost to the base, it does NOT agree well with Chonemorpha fragran<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n
Chonemorpha miocenica<\/em>?? But did not find any image in the\u00a0net for verification.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Two more species are reported in Flora of China<\/em><\/span><\/a> with distribution in India:<\/div>\n
Chonemorpha verrucosa<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
Chonemorpha griffithii<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
But does not seem to match as per<\/div>\n

I think it should be <\/span>Chonemorpha griffithi<\/i>, as that is the only species with calyx divided to almost the base, apart from <\/span>C. verrucosa<\/em>.\u00a0But <\/span>C. verrucosa<\/em> has very small flowers.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Not matching with the illustration of C. griffithii<\/em> here<\/div>\n
http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/object_<\/span>page.aspx?object_id=85815&<\/span>flora_id=2<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
could be a case of inaccurate drawing, especially as the species is supposed to be variable. The flower tube is about 7 cm long, inflated in the middle according to the description. All this seems to agree. There is no other species to compare with, that I know.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A paper which might be useful to people.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks, … This seems to be 1947 publication.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
I went through the keys and description closely for three species Chonemorpha griffithii <\/em>Hook. fil., Chonemorpha macrantha<\/em> Pitard and Chonemorpha valvata<\/em> Chatterjee.<\/div>\n
All these are now considered as\u00a0one now as per Catalogue of life<\/span><\/a>;<\/div>\n
Therefore, there is going to be some (variations &) discrepancy in descriptions and illustrations due to this merger of three species.
\nI agree with your id.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

See the <\/span>lectotype of Chonemorpha macrantha<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you …,<\/span>The GBIF images and the lectotype images are quite convincing!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
