\n

Correct id.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

This appears to be Chrozophora prostrata<\/em> Dalz. However, the nature of ovary and fruits are necessary for correct identification. If they are stellate-pubescent then it is C. prostrata<\/strong>.<\/span> If they are lepidote then it may be C. rottleri<\/strong>.<\/span> Please check.<\/p>\n

\n

For me the ID is correct.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Chrozophora plicata from Delhi<\/a>:
\nChrozophora plicata<\/i> (Vahl) A. Juss. ex Spreng., Syst. veg. 3:850. 1826
\nsyn: Croton plicatus<\/i> Vahl; Chrozophora prostrata<\/i> Dalzell & Gibson<\/div>\n
\n

Stellate-wooly prostrate herb with several branches; leaves nearly as long as broad, upper surface folded (plicate); flowers unisexual; stamens 15 in two whorls, petals pink; capsules stellate wooly, without scales.<\/span> <\/span>
\n<\/span>Photographed from Vikas Puri Delhi<\/span>, growing in waste lands.
\n<\/span>Common name: Giradol <\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Beautiful photographs as usual. The plant reminds me of Prof. BGL Swamy who used to bring this plant, Bacopa<\/i> munneri<\/i>, Ammania buccifera<\/i> etc for the M.Sc examinations in 70,s<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Chrozophora rottleri<\/i> as per another thread<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
This needs to be resolved.<\/div>\n
If Chrozophora plicata<\/i> (Vahl) A. Juss., 1826 (basionym Croton plicatus<\/i> Vahl, 1790) and C. rottleri<\/i> (Geiseler) A. Juss., 1826 (based on Croton rottleri<\/i> Geiseler, 1807) are synonyms, the former should be the correct name as it is based in earlier basionym.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
If two are distinct species as listed on the Plant List, we have to know the differences to choose our plants from North India and Western Ghats.
\n<\/span>I hope … can throw better light on this based on their treatment of Indian <\/span>Euphorbiaceae<\/i>.<\/span><\/div>\n

I strongly feel that it is C. plicata<\/em>, whether we follow Flora of Malesia
\n<\/span>Chrozophora (nationaalherbarium.nl)<\/a> or follow key given by …
\n<\/span>Plants are prostrate (not erect), smaller (less than 3 cm, not larger), plicate , dark green (not light green), stigma orange (not red), fruit with spreading hairs (not flat)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

Yes,\u00a0Chrozophora plicata.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I think there is some confusion here.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Flora Malesian<\/a>\u00a0gives the following difference (It also does not have\u00a0Chrozophora plicata<\/b>\u00a0(Vahl) A.Juss. ex Spreng. (like India as per Balakrishnan ji)):<\/div>\n
C<\/i>hrozophora<\/i>\u00a0plicata<\/i>\u00a0(Vahl) A.Juss. ex Spreng.<\/span>\u00a0is often confused\u00a0with\u00a0C. rottleri<\/i>,<\/span>\u00a0because one of the first leads in Prain\u2019s key (1918) asks for the length of the inflorescence relative to the surrounding leaves. The inflorescence should be shorter than the leaves in\u00a0C. plicata<\/i>\u00a0and longer in\u00a0C. rottleri<\/i>. However, they are only longer in\u00a0C. rottleri<\/i>\u00a0when the inflorescences are old and have shed their seeds.\u00a0The best character to separate both species is in the\u00a0stellate hairs on the ovary\/fruit, these hairs are flat, 2-dimensional, almost lepidote in\u00a0C. rottleri<\/i><\/span>\u00a0(lacking the patent hairs), and normal, 3-dimensional in\u00a0C. plicata<\/i>.\u00a0Furthermore, the leaf blades in\u00a0C. plicata<\/i>\u00a0are usually smaller (less than 3 cm long) and of a much darker green (at least when dry).<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
It also\u00a0gives\u00a0<\/span>Staminate flowers<\/i>\u00a04\u20136 mm in diam., yellow; calyx white, united part c. 1 mm high, lobes 3.2\u20134 by c. 1.2 mm; petals 3.7\u20133.8 by 1.5\u20131.6 mm; androphore 3.3\u20133.8 mm long, basal 1.2\u20131.3 mm without filaments; filaments 0.3\u20130.8 mm long; anthers 0.9\u20131.3 by c. 0.7 mm,<\/span>\u00a0yellow.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/span><\/span>I can not see the nature of hairs from the low res. image, as per differences above.\u00a0However, the stigma is yellow here as given for\u00a0C.rottelri\u00a0<\/i>in Flora Malenesia.
\n<\/span>Earlier … has stated:<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
“The real Chrozophora plicata<\/em> (Vahl) A.Juss. ex Spreng. does not occur in India. It is confined to Africa and the Middle East. What is given as C. plicata<\/em> in Indian floras are now known as\u00a0Chrozophora rottleri<\/em>(Geisl.) A.Juss. ex Spreng.\u00a0…”<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I see stigma\u00a0to be yellow only as per other observations at\u00a0C.rottleri<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span>I find that as per keys provided by … in this post, C.prostrata<\/i>\u00a0is now given as syn. of\u00a0Chrozophora plicata<\/b>\u00a0(Vahl) A.Juss. ex Spreng. as per\u00a0WCSP<\/a>. So if this is correct,\u00a0C.prostrata<\/i>\u00a0is now given as syn. of\u00a0Chrozophora plicata<\/b> (Vahl) A.Juss. ex Spreng. is very much available in India and … plant may very well be this one.<\/p>\n

The Plant List considers <\/span>C. plicata<\/i> and <\/span>C. rottleri<\/i> to be distinct species.
