a. splendens\u00a0 usually is light colored neck but leaves are very different. so I don’t know what this one is<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Argyreia nervosa<\/em> (Burm.f.) Bojer ??<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

No, sir, not A.nervosa<\/em>. Flower size ? It seems small.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Flower size is not rally small. Average to normal Ipomoea<\/em> flower size.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

In that case please check for Argyreia capitiformis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
It is not listed …! Argyreia<\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

I know, sir. I was checking all species listed.
\nAmong the listed ones, Argyreia bella<\/em> suits most considering the leaf and inflorescence and flower.
\nProblem is, there are not enough authentic live photos. Herbarium photos are not good enough for id the way we are doing here.
\nArgyreia<\/em> is difficult.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Elevation\u00a0is matching but not much images in the net and description for\u00a0comparison. However, GBIF link looks matching, specially the flower\u00a0cluster of the herbarium. Another aspect is that the central part does not<\/div>\n
have dark colour compared to other sp.<\/div>\n

\n
I am no not fully convinced with id as Argyreia bella<\/em> as per GBI specimens as leaf secondary veins\u00a0look less and calyx and bracts also look somewhat different.<\/div>\n
I am marking a copy to the author of Lectotypification of Argyreia bella (Convolvulaceae), <\/span><\/a>in case he\/ she helps us in the matter.
\nI am also not able to find description on the net.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

i have gone thru this exercise with you all. i cant find any more than what you folks have. Does not BSI have a monogrpah on A.<\/p>\n

\n

Tragedy is, this species Argyreia bella<\/em> was collected by Clarke from erstwhile Chhotanagpur, now Jharkhand and around\u00a0 … but I am yet to see any Argyreia\u00a0bella<\/em> post from that region on facebook

\n

\n
Ok, thanks. picture of that lectotype collected dated 1873. the leaves are still grey green ? how is that possible<\/div>\n
\n

Could not find a match as per comparative images at\u00a0Argyreia<\/span><\/a><\/em>
\nI checked all the species listed in the\u00a0Checklist of Nepal<\/a>.
\nMaybe\u00a0Argyreia\u00a0roxburghii<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>as per\u00a0GBIF<\/a>\u00a0specimens-\u00a0one<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0two<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

By any means could it be Ipomoea staplesii\u00a0<\/i>J.R.I.Wood & Scotland syn :\u00a0Argyreia wallichii<\/strong>\u00a0<\/i>Choisy ??
\nhttps:\/\/plants.jstor.org\/stable\/10.5555\/al.ap.specimen.k000830657<\/a>
\nhttps:\/\/www.rarepalmseeds.com\/argyreia-wallichii<\/a>
\nHowever, there is no distribution for Nepal.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes, you seem to be right as per\u00a0GBIF<\/a>\u00a0specimens (one<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0two<\/a>) and\u00a0FoC illustration<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Rareplamseeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

In that case it would be a new record for Nepal ! Let us wait for the opinion from …<\/p>\n

\n
Does it look more close to Argyreia subrotunda\u00a0<\/i>Q.R.Liu & M.L.Zhang?<\/div>\n
However, lateral\u00a0vein count does not match with both the sp.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
I do not think so.<\/p>\n
