Submitting few images of a Loranthaceae<\/i> sp for ID assistance. Could this be Taxillus heyneanus<\/i>…..???<\/div>\n
Habit: Epiphytic, Parasitic shrub.
<\/font><\/div>\n
Habitat: Dry deciduous forest fringe.<\/font><\/div>\n
Sighting: Lingadahalli, Tarikere, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 800 msl
<\/font><\/div>\n
Date: 06-03-2015<\/font><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
The 6-merous flowers are occurring in Elytranthe<\/i> and Macrosolen<\/i>. The flowers are sessile in the former while pedicellate in the latter. I am not getting this character clearly.\u00a0 Please confirm the generic identity.<\/div>\n
\n
Leaves obovate and pubescent, grey and tomentose corolla, corolla slit on one side, bracts longer than the calyx…..<\/font>I think the specimen matches with the desciption and images of Taxillus heyneanus<\/i> in the Digital Flora of Karnataka @\u00a0http:\/\/florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in\/hjcb2\/herbsheet.php\u2026<\/a><\/div>\n
Experts to please examine and validate.<\/p>\n
\n

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.\u00a0 I thought that the flowers were 6-merous.<\/p>\n

\n

One more key to the specimen…..http:\/\/<\/font>efloraindia.nic.in\/<\/font>efloraindia\/taxonList.action?<\/font>id=14&type=3…..<\/font><\/a>\u00a0I<\/font> think it matches with Taxillus heyneanus<\/i>….!!<\/p>\n
