Sorting our I. edgeworthii/scabrida/tricornis populations: I. edgeworthii from Kashmir

[Gurcharan Singh]

Let me thank both Ashotosh Sharma ji,  Wojciech Adamowski for giving me the hope that we may have I. scabrida occurring in our region and Garg ji for keeping the thread alive. 

Let me first point out basic difference which separates I. edgeworthii from nearly 50 next species in BSI Flora of India (luckily I had purchased few years back) i.ei "Basal lobe of wings produced upwards anteriorly into decurved lobes" and most parts of plant including capsule grabrous. This is clearly seen in my Kashmir specimens attached here. This Flora published in 1997 though totally ignorant about the name I. tricornis (not even in synonyms) does correctly record navicular lower sepal and other features of hairy stems, leaves and fruits, that should help us separate the rest of specimens. I will be discussing the populations separately.

     Please correct me if I am wrong.  

This plant was photographed from Baramulla Kashmir, alt. approx. 1600 m on June 24, 2010.

Please read  decurved lobes as  decurved lobule, according to BSI Flora only species with noninflated fruits to have this character.
