Hooghly Today : might be Leea aequata L.

[surajit koley]

Sir,

What appears to be a shrub in rural wilderness may turn out into a tree, if left undisturbed. Similarly, a woody herb may turn out to be a shrub in reality. This is because villagers often cut or prune them in order to 1) collect firewood, 2) create a temporary passage and 3) clear a space to plant other economically viable plants.

This is a 6 ft shrub, common in village scrubs, with scabrous branches; pubescent and scabrous leaves; terminal inflorescence.

A description of Leea hirta (L. aequata L.) can be found at - http://ia600603.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?id=mobot31753000967866&itemPath=%2F5%2Fitems%2Fmobot31753000967866&server=ia600603.us.archive.org&page=n660_w282.

Can this species be L aequata L.? If yes, my another post may also be the same species - https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!topic/indiantreepix/czJK6AzcfAg.

Thank you,

Regards,

This plant looks like the one in the illustration - http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=161897

But, that can not be L. macrophylla.

Descriptions of L. robusta and L. hirta can be found in Flora Indica (vol.1, p655 to 657) -

The problem is i don't understand botany.

One offers sermons in a mail - ".... Descriptions of species among genus are appreciated only when all the species are physically seen together - else all the descriptions (in most cases to my experiences) are worded in such a manner that a normal person attempting to read them for the first time would think of giving up out of frustration..... "

Another writes, "...collectively we will be able to find some clear findings and additions to what is given in texts esp from individual personal observations. What is written in texts was the personal observation only before it went into books."

I am looking forward to collective assistance from experienced members.
