In tamil it is called "Perandai" and it is not only used to make chutney but is also used as a ingredient in Ayurveda to bind the fractures.

Thanks Balkar ji, for pointing out the discrepancy in Chitrakoot plant, and Tanay for resolving its identity. Tanay, I am becoming a fan of you. Keep it up.

    Balkar ji, let us upload photographs of different plants, and also by two different members in separate mail threads. We can always give links. This way reference would be easier in the database.

    I am happy the group is evolving into a strong and efficient forum for quick identification. I love this group for the level of cordiality shown by most senior members, and I am happy Tanay has got into this mould rapidly.

   Thanks Garg ji for conceiving the idea.

Thank you Gurcharan Ji for you humble compliment and the truth is that I am your fan. Yes it feels really nice to spend time here in this group not only identification of plants are important out here but also rejuvenation of mind with new information about plant life in most interesting part of the group. At every moment I always get to see new plants from India and around , it's not always possible for me identify all of them disclosing the fact that I am too young and lack experience to remember the complete flora of India which has one of the largest biodiversity among the plant kingdom in the world with nearly 10 hot spot zones. I try my best to contribute from my side and learn from more mature, experienced and hardcore taxonomist and plant lovers out here. This is all what I wanted, I am happy and feel good at the end of the day when I get hold of some IDs correct. I will always thank Dinesh Ji who introduced me to this group without his introduction it would have been impossible for me to gather so much new knowledge about plant under a single roof better to say in a single click of a button.

 

I Thank all the members of this group who gave this precious opportunity to join and  help me every moment to accelerate mind at its fastest torque.

 

THANK YOU ALL!!!

Cissus subtetragona is added as adulterant to Cissus quadrangularis and considered inferior in terms of medicinal properties by traders. But for the Healers both species are important.
