A reply from another thread<\/span><\/a>:<\/div>\n
…, I had already seen <\/i>Lonicera obovata<\/i> page<\/span><\/a>. 3rd photograph (by …) appears quite different from other three. I think, my photographs are matching with<\/span> first two and I have no photograph of fruits.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nThere is no question of third image (I don’t know whether … meant 8713 or 8724) from other two (other three can’t be true as there are only three images). All images belong to the same bush (not to say same population). There are total 30 images taken between 11:06 to 11:11 (from two cameras)\u00a0 numbering DSC5297 to DSC5312 from one camera and IMG_8713 to 8726 from other camera. I am sharing first image in high resolution. Others I will upload subsequently.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Another image after 3rd image in high resolution<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Image after the second image<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It appears to me that the comment by … refers not to any of my images but image by … showing fruits in the same thread. In that case there was no reason to omit my image no.8713, and inserting comment 2 correct images.

If a dwarf shrub above 3000 m and leaves mostly smaller than 1 cm<\/span>, it is most likely Lonicera obovata<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks for identification …, I also have this to post….will post my pics now…<\/p>\n

I think in August one would also see the dull blue berries of this plant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which species of Lonicera<\/i>???
\nChurdhar (Sirmaur, H.P.)
\nMay 2015<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Nearly 16 species are known in Uttarakhand and 14 in Himachal Pradesh (vide Chowdhery& Wadhwa, 1984).<\/div>\n
I am attaching a page of Osmaston 1927 (one of the fine document for woody species of this part of the Himalaya) which contains keys for 14 species. Species known in HP are mentioned in keys as HP by me.<\/div>\n
\n

Hope it helps!\u00a0 Attachments (1<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Thank you … I was looking for key to the species at eFlora-India (BSI). They have not listed Lonicera<\/i> or even Caprifoliaceae<\/i>. I had key only from FLORA SIMLENSIS.
\nWent through a paper by Pusalkar on Devendra<\/i>ea. It has created so many varieties in the species. It has become very confusing for me.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you for the nice key and your marking of H.P. species, Sir
\nCan you give me this ebook ?<\/p>\n

\n

I\u00a0too appreciate this key and by the way
\nthis website has a pdf that can be downloaded for free the 1927 book
\nhttp:\/\/pahar.in\/<\/span>1927-a-forest-flora-for-kumaon-by-osmaston-s-pdf\/<\/span><\/a>

\n

Thanks … It is very useful to … He may download it now. I have a hard copy with me so I never tried to search e-version. It is really good that a large number of older books are now available as eBooks.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you, … I have downloaded the book.
\n…, thank you again. I have all the Floras of Himachal Pradesh with me except Lahaul Spiti. Went through your\u00a0 “eflorapantnagar”
\nYou have done a marvelous job. I am motivatyed to do it for Shimla city.<\/p>\n

\n

I hope it is L. obovata<\/i> (smaller leaves, flowers in axillary pairs, prominent bracteoles, corolla yellow with gibbous base),<\/span> only drooping flowers creating doubt, or may be branch is held upside down.<\/p>\n

\n

I had seen your post on Lonicera<\/i> page on efi earlier. One of your plant was looking different from rest three on that page. Kindly go through my another post as Lonicera obovata<\/i> ??? also. Yesterday, I have posted 5 visibly different plants as Lonicera<\/i>. I was sure only about L. angustifolia<\/i>. I wish identification for rest of the four posts.<\/p>\n

\nSaw another set of berries\u00a0along the Govindghat-Ghangaria trail, Uttarakhand\u00a0in Aug 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
They were bigger, around 1 inch in length.<\/div>\n
Requested to please provide ID. Are these some Berberis as well?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pl. check comparative images at

\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks \u2026<\/div>\n
However, I think the black appendage at the end of the fruit (I do not know what it is called) is absent in these fruits. Also they are bigger.
\nI think they are not the same ones as\u00a0<\/span>those<\/a>\u00a0posted here.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

To me look different from\u00a0those<\/a>\u00a0posted at this link and identified by \u2026 as\u00a0Berberis\u00a0glaucocarpa<\/i>Stapf
\nClosest I can go is\u00a0Berberis aristata<\/i>\u00a0DC.<\/a>\u00a0only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
These are definitely not\u00a0B. glaucocarpa<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0B. aristata<\/i>. I am not sure what are these, this is interesting as I can\u2019t see any spines and 1 inch berries are also not common in\u00a0Berberis<\/i>\u2013 though leaves look like\u00a0Berberis<\/i>.<\/div>\n
