Dear all,

Is there any species closer to this morphology? that is how different is A. aspera from this one?

Muthu ji, another common Aeschynomene is A. americana ... native of Central America and tropical South America ... naturalized in our country.
.... at my photostream, http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Aeschynomeneamericana&w=91314344%40N00&m=tags

Not familiar with A. aspera.

MUTHU JI

A.hispida is a perennual shrub growing up to 3 m in height, white pith which is known as sola and used for making hats, floats and floral decorations. It has hispid calyx and fruit echinulate

A. indica is an annual herb, usually under 1 m, without soft white pith, calyx glabrous and white non-echinulate.

Many thanks all for the valuable inputs.

I can confirm this posted Aeschynomene as A.indica; as the pods are indented on lower margin only.

In A. aspera, the pod margin is indented at both margins; also with more leaflet pairs [30-35] when compared with A. indica.

A. americana is cultivated and only reported from Coimbatore dist. of TN. [don't know the purpose of cultivation]

Hi, Singh ji,

Are you talking about Aeschynomene hispida auct. here which is a syn. of Aeschynomene indica L. as per GRIN ?

Garg ji

That was a slip on my part. I was (and so was Muthu ji) referring to A. aspera L., the source of Sola or Shola pith.

Many thanks, Saroj ji ... are these names for Aeschynomene indica L. or perhaps I did not read through the above post properly.

Regards.
