Dear friends,

Earlier at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/HUoQO2C7JHQ/_X1xUFdcT18J, one of my uploads has got the ID of Kyllinga nemoralis.

The plant posted here looks a bit different in context of the inflorescence - please therefore validate the ID in this post.

In the northern Konkan and Western Ghats of Maharashtra, we have at least following species of Kyllinga reported:

K. brevifolia
K. bulbosa
K. nemoralis
K. melanosperma
K. squamulata

Reference (PDF) : The Gazetteer Department (Govt. of Maharashtra) - महाराष्ट्रातील वनस्पतीशास्त्र आणि वनसंपदा

Very eager to see uploads of various species of Kyllinga.

Regards.

Dinesh

I was trying to understand various Kyllinga mentioned by Dinesh Ji, but....... :(

Descriptions can be read in Flora of British India -

Kyllinga melanosperma Nees herbarium - http://www.europeana.eu/portal/search.html?query=title%3a%22Kyllinga+melanosperma+Nees%22&rows=12

Kyllinga squamulata Thonn. ex Vahl pics - http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=110660

Kyllinga bulbosa P.Beauv. - http://idao.cirad.fr/SpecieSheet?sheet=adventoi/especes/k/kylbu/kylbu_fr.html

In our group we have posts of other two species.

Thank you,

Regards,

Many thanks Surajit ji. I am hoping many of us share their sightings of various species of Kyllinga.

The pictures at the links are good; but familiarity with grasses and sedges is absolutely low - not yet able to grasp the differences.

"we are in the same boat brother..."

Good morning Dinesh Ji.

This might help :- http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/china/PDF/PDF23/Kyllinga.pdf

According to Flora of British India, K. cylindrica Nees is scattered widely in India, not plentiful anywhere. I am thinking if your species https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/indiantreepix/HUoQO2C7JHQ/_X1xUFdcT18J can be the same.
