Crassulaceae, Combretaceae and Myrtaceae Fortnight: Combretaceae member for identification from Hamirpur (H.P.)

[Anil Thakur]

Respected Members,

Kindly help with identification of this plant photographed in Hamirpur
District of H.P. in May, 2006. I had posted it on FB page 'Indian
Flora' about two years back. No satisfactory answer/clues were
received. I have also checked 'Flora of Himachal Pradesh' by Choudhary
and Wadhwa, which is also silent on this plant.

Plant height: Approx. 50 cm
Type: Appeared woody shrub
Leaves: 5-7 cm
Flowering: Might have flowered in March (Not seen, just approximation)

With Regards

Sir,

I do know if you have already identified this species or not. Since it was a new to me I needed some time to go through literature. Please check the probability of Combretum nanum Buch-Ham. Several herbarium can be viewed at KEW, one is http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K000786628, description at FoP - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242421512, pictures at FLoI - http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Dwarf%20Bushwillow.html.

Thank you

Regards

Dear Surajit Ji,

Thank you for your deep involvement in identification of this plant.
Sorry for being late as I was out of station for few days.

I had tried this plant 1-2 years ago as was suggested by Jitendra
Gavli Ji on Indian Flora.
In this case, leaves appear so different than C. nanum. I had not seen
it in flowering stage. If, it is C. nanum, it will be a new addition
to the Flora of Himachal Pradesh.

Regards,

ANIL THAKUR

Well, Sir, I must have made some grave mistake somewhere thinking Combretum nanum could be present in HP, since its distribution in FBI noted as "Himalaya Terai from Sikkim to the Punjab" and it is present in Pakistan too. However, the species has been recorded in Hastinapur Wildlife Sanctuary, but I don't have any idea about the geography there.

Thank you

Regards

surajit
