| Dear Sir ji Was missing your comments and photos when the week started..But "Dinesh ji was rocking" in words of new generation and of course were others with their beautiful photos. For last two days am able to see your comments and photos. Where were you? Any way I never new that their is /are sps in Lantana and one is indica. I use to call all of them as camara. How many sps are there in Lantana. By mistake I deleted the photos of Lantana camara send by you thinking it is common/known why enlarge and see? Can you repost it? the leaves of these both plants smell same, Do they differ in shape? Dont remember/not noticed? The flowers do differ in the shape and that tubular structure. Second question if indica sps is of Indian origin why do we blame in general the Lantana as it has come from outside and is opportunistic and is spreading as weed? Or is the blame only for camara? one more posting of purple flower had come. Is that the third variety? In Marathi do we call all of them Ghaneri which is the name mentioned here? Madhuri But now unable to distinguish the diff in camara and indica. Can y --- On Fri, 8/7/11, Gurcharan Singh <sing...@gmail.com> wrote: |

the name Ghaneri I remember now, it is because of the smell isn't it? But I also remember when we used to walk up to Parvati-temple in Pune we used to pluck the small flowers and such the nectar. I think it was Ghaneri. There were shrubs in plenty near तळ्यातला गणपती.

In a mail few days back I had mentioned this smell of Ghaneri. I always wonder why such nice smelling leaf should be given that name? (For nonmarathi meaning is bad smelling.)
The second point you might be sucking the necture of Ixora (red one) and eating black small berries of Ghaneri????

Dear All:
please NOBODY SHOULD BE EATING LANTANA>>>>>
SUCKING NECTAR FROM LANTANA IS OUT OF QUESTION.....
Berries and leaves are poisonous for livestock, children and
even some (frail, old more so ) adults...
effects are like Atropine poisoning...
please no romantizing this plant..esp since it looks sooooo nice...
and berries very attractive to children, keep them away, pluck off the
flower heads as soon as the flowers start falling off, before berries
develop...

I remember from my childhood, that we were doing that, but don't
remember exactly if it was Ghaneri flower. As Madhuri ji and myself
share some old memories i asked her, if whta i remember is correct.
I was many times tempted here to try the flower, did not do though.
I don't know which flower it was, that we liked so much when i was small.
The places I wrote about have changed a lot, perhaps someone from Pune
may remember how the Ganapati-temple looked like many years ago.
Anyway, i am not going to try sucking the Lantana flower.
