Flora of Panipat: Plumeria pudica from a Nursery in Panipat Model Town<\/a>:
\nPlumeria pudica<\/i> from a Nursery in Panipat Model Town
\n<\/span>About 4-5 feet high Garden shrub with white flowers and showy leaves<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Plumeria pudica<\/i>. \u00a0 I have one tree in my house at Mysore.<\/p>\n

\n

The leaves have a very interesting shape.
\nWhat term do you use to describe the leaf shape? Is the leaf shape characteristic of this species of Plumeria<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n

Plumeria pudica<\/i> is also known as fiddle-leaf plumeria<\/b>, for which technical term is panduraeform, rounded at ends and contracted in centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Looks like a spoon<\/span>… so should be SPATULATE… !!! but do not go by me… I am not a botanist…<\/p>\n

\n

… showed one in July,,, seeing its interesting flowers and leaves I wanted one… and within a few days … my local nurseryman…who I had \u00a0NOT spoken to yet about my coveting… \u00a0called to say he had something unusual
\nfor me… BRINDABON CHAMPA<\/b>…. not know what he was talking about… I went… and knew it as the one I had asked eflora forum members\u00a0if anybody knew where could I find one… \u00a0and had found a nursery in Andhraaa… too far to go… but… ONE found me…. \u00a0spiritualists call it Serendipity… OR that if you really want something Universe provides…
\nSO, now I have one in my balcony… \u00a0 took some pictures right away, flowers are a bit bruised from traveling…
\nand now in 6 or seven weeks the plant has grown , branched and given about 20 flowers so far…
\nWONDERFUL things and stuff…. LIFE….<\/p>\n

\n

I was wondering what can be the meaning of species name pudica<\/i> here<\/u>.
\nOn searching on net I got one interesting meaning. I don’t know whether the leaves fold at night?
\npudic- shrinking, closing, modest (Mimosa pudica<\/i>, so named because the pinnate leaves fold up the leaflets at night or when touched)<\/p>\n

\n

As it is in College now and i have never seen this in night now i will try to observe it in night also<\/p>\n

\n

… message sent me to the balcony… at 130 AM… my Lajjabati… Mimosa pudica<\/i>.. Acharya Jagdishchandra Bose’s plant is sleeping peacefully….with folded leaves …. and the Plumeria pudica<\/i> is NOT\u00a0sleeping… \u00a0the leaves are NOT folded or drooping or anything… the flowers are open \u00a0too…
\nFor some reason today we have no street lights… which is a blessing for some of my plants, because most of the flowering ones need a full nite’s darkness which I have to do with black covers in the fall to get winter flowers….<\/p>\n

\n

What can be the reason behind the species name Pudica<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n
… let it go… or get one of your grad students \u00a0to go after it tooth and nail…. Most logical scenario I can think of is this: It grows upright…. not gnarled branches as in frangipani or other\u00a0plumerias…
\nI found this in a genealogy site….
\nLATINE – ENGLISH DICTIONARY <\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span>pudica = chaste, upright
\npudica virgo = virgin young woman, chaste [clean, decent] virgin<\/span><\/div>\n
http:\/\/www.genealogy.ro\/dictionary\/lat_eng_p.htm<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <http:\/\/www.genealogy.ro\/dictionary\/lat_eng_p.htm<\/span><\/a>>
\nPlumeria pudica<\/i> is not bashful but grows upright\u2026 may be that\u2019s why its called pudica this is all …
\n<\/span>It was named in 1760 or there abouts… \u00a0by:\u00a0\u00a0Jacquin, Nicolaus (or Nicolaas) von\u00a0 by not enough latin knowledge in my skull to decipher the description etc…<\/p>\n

Plant for ID:<\/a> I photographed this plant in our garden at Tala Distt Umariya M.P.<\/span><\/div>\n
Plant is bought from a local nursery but they failed to give me any local name either.<\/div>\n
Flower size similar to Temple tree flower. Leaves about 7 inches long.
\n<\/span>Please help in ID this flower \/ plant.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
This is Plumeria Pudica <\/i>or locally called Vrindavan champa<\/b> or Bengali pronounciation….Brindabon Champa<\/b>
\nthis has long lasting nature of flowers, but plant needs rest after flowering and very good food and then light and dew drops and open sky to flourish… did not do too well in the balcony… the flowers have no scent…<\/span>
\nWe have had several threads here…. efi thread<\/span><\/a>
\nand some nursery in the south carries it, now I guess its getting to be everywhere…<\/div>\n
and toptropicals has a nice description : http:\/\/toptropicals.com\/plumeria_pudica.htm<\/span><\/span><\/a>
\nEnjoy it .. plant it outside … give a lot of food .. and reasonable amount of water and light… I have not noticed any particular insect attacking it.. stays healthy long time…<\/span><\/div>\n
