Attaching a few images of a wild plant. Seems to be some Leea species.

Please identify.

Leea guineense G.Don is one possibility as per comparative images at Leea, but difficult to say with these images.

It is Leea alata Edgew, I think. Please check -

I only used the KEY in the "Bengal Plants", Sir, since this species is wild.

I will check our database for other uploads of red Leea.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Surajit Koley

[surajit koley]

Sorry, Bimal Da, Garg Sir, it appears to me that I made another mistake in identifying it as Leea alata. Here, the leaves are not 1-pinnate, as I thought earlier. Please check the KEY to red flowered Leea, below :-

1. Leaves 1-pinnate = L. alata Edgew.
2. Leaves 1-2-3 pinnate (bipinnate, occasionally tripinnate at base - Flora of Zambia)  = L. guineensis G. Don
3. Leaves 2-4 pinnate = L. rubra Bl. Ex Spreng
4. Leaves 2-3 pinnate, leaves setaceously hairy above, below with setaceous hairs on the nerves = L. setuligera Clarke

Now, I myself am confused. Don't  have a clear idea how to differentiate the above spp.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Surajit Koley

Hi, Bimal ji,

May I request you to pl. post more detailed images, showing stipules etc. for proper id.

I am confused here, Dada, please check and decide -

• If leaves are 1-pinnate - it is Leea alata.
• if leaves are more than 1-pinnate; and inside of the petal is red - it is Leea rubra
• If leaves are more than 1-pinnate and inside of the petals are creamy-white - it is L. guineensis.

(Leea setuligera is not likely to be found there, it is like L. guineensis, but with hair on leaves.)

Thank you.

Best regards,

Surajit Koley

[surajit koley]

Dada,

I would like to add one more point - that leaf rachis of Leea alata would be narrowly winged, which I do not see here.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Surajit Koley

Thank you Garg ji.

It will not be possible immediately , as the image was taken in a forest.

However I will upload more images, if I come across the plant again.

A blog from Bangladesh feature similar looking Leea - http://www.floraofbangladesh.com/2019/10/bon-chalita-or-kukurjihba-leea-alata.html#:~:text=Bon%2Dchalita%20or%20Kukurjihba%20(Leea,and%20hilly%20areas%20of%20Bangladesh.

The fifth picture from the top of that blog displays young leaflets, and rachis having narrow wing (which is a feature of Leea alata.) - see top of the leaf - https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-loqG1bGxlns/Xbp3BFCNYBI/AAAAAAAATxw/DYpEx5782JILd0rd12uQC0DP_EWnF4n-wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Bon-chalita_Leea_alata_07.JPG

Now, look at the base of the leaf of the above picture, at first I thought it would grow to bi-pinnate leaf, and in that case the ID won't be Leea alata. But, what if it is the emergence of another 1--pinnate leaf?

In the same way Bimal Da's species might e Leea alata as well.

No, I cancel the idea.

Emergence of new leaf should carry a stipule.

So, I think the species in that blog is Leea rubra.

Bimal Da's plant should also be L. rubra.
