I think this should be Pentasachme (Asclepediaceae)

Dear Navendu Ji,
Pentasachme sp has long linear leaves with acute apex but this plant has small roundish leaf with obtuse apex. The most fascinating point of the flower is that it lacks calyx hence perianth is present !!! Pentasachme does not lack calyx I hope ..
Regards
Tanay

Unlikely that the calyx is absent. Can you send me better resolution
pictures. Its a dicot with pentamerous flowers, it has to have calyx.
I am pretty sure its Asclepiadaceae. If only you could send me the
close up of the flower. The leaf shape could be variable. Only
Magnoliaceae and some monocots have perianth but they dont have
pentamerous flowers and opposite leaves.

Hello all
actually that is why it was adviced to follow posting guidelines and
format. so that all the ancilary information such as habit,
phyllotaxy, number of calyx, corolla ,etc can be get from the author
itself. may i request all to follow the format.
this is some Asclepediaceae member for sure.

The plant is Pentasachme caudatum .

Please cross check the details with the plant.

leaves linear lanceolate, caudate - acuminate.

Dear Pravir ji
As pointed out by Tanay P. caudatum has much narrower linear-lanceolate leaves.


 This matches more with P. wallichii. Please compare the details.

thats very interesting, we need to check if there is a third species
of Pentasachme from other sources such as Flora of China and Bhutan.
And please send better pictures if any

There are five species of this genus. Two we have seen P. caudatum (eflora China) and P. wallichii (link given by me). The other three are P. championii, P. glaucescens and P. stauntonii. Let locate these three and compare.

Doesn't match the two species of Pentasachme reported from India,
although similar to P. wallichiana

One other possibility is that it could be a species of Cynanchium.
Many of the himalayan species have long corolla lobes. Was it a twiner
or an erect herb?

Dear Navenduji,

Thanx for taking much interest in resolviing the identity of this
plant. It was a twinning herb as far as I can remember.

Hope we'd b able to identify the plant soon.

Regards,
Ritesh.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.

Some earlier relevant feedback:

“The plant is Pentasachme caudatum .

Please cross check the details with the plant.

leaves linear lanceolate, caudate - acuminate.” from Pravir ji.

 

“As pointed out by Tanay P. caudatum has much narrower linear-lanceolate leaves.
http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=85789&flora_id=2

This matches more with P. wallichii. Please compare the details.

"Please find the photo of P. wallichii
The plant photo attach by the Ritesh sir is not resembles with the P wallichii" from Pravir ji.

 

There are five species of this genus. Two we have seen P. caudatum (eflora China) and P. wallichii (link given by me). The other three are P. championii, P. glaucescens and P. stauntonii. Let locate these three and compare.

"Doesn't match the two species of Pentasachme reported from India,
although similar to P. wallichiana
One other possibility is that it could be a species of Cynanchium.
Many of the himalayan species have long corolla lobes. Was it a twiner
or an erect herb?
navendu"

"Thanx for taking much interest in resolviing the identity of this
plant. It was a twinning herb as far as I can remember.
Hope we'd b able to identify the plant soon.
Regards,
Ritesh."

A reply from another thread:
"Yes it may be a different species as Ritesh Ji has mentioned in the thread that it was a small twiner. P.wallichii as posted by me and Nidhan Ji are same in my opinion, both are small hanging herbs along waterfalls/ on dripping rocks and are never a twiner or climber.
As per Flowering Plants of India Dicotyledones (also as online Checklist of BSI) mention only three species in India. P.wallichii is known in all Himalaya and NE India while P.pulcherrima is known in C & E Himalaya. The third species P.caudatum is very different with very narrow leaves. However, an expert opinion will be more useful as I am not aware of East Himalayan flora.
