Thanks a lot, Sukla ji,
These have been incorporated at Salix & Populus
You have done wonderful work during Saliaceae fortnight. Kudos to your hard work.

Dear Dr Shukla
 
Thanks for species list of Salicaceae.
However, in Populus, one species is missing: Populus pamirica Kom.
I have seen this species in entire Ladakh.

Mr. Khuroo can you please share the picture of Populus pamirica in this group? It would be really interesting to see the plants from Ladakh.



Thanks,
Sukla

Sukla ji
As per eFlora of Pakistan P. balsamifera of Indian authors incl. FBI 5: 638 and  R. Parker, For. Fl. Punj. ed. 3: 510. 1956 (non L.) is actually P. palmirica. This is significant as your list does not list either.


My plant from Dachigam should be this if not P. balsamifera

Dear Anzar
Please indicate the place. Looks similar to my herbarium sheet of P. balsamifera, common in Dachigam.

Dear Sir,

As I already discuss in my previous mail regarding this P. pamirica- P. balsamifera issue. . I’m not willing to include neither P. pamirica nor P. balsamifera in Indian list.

I would like add some more facts that this decision is a result of my five year’s research work and it is based on studies of so many authentic materials deposited in different foreign herbaria and literature. I’m fortunate enough to view those images through Dr. P. Lakshinarasimhan and Dr. S. Srivastava, Indian Liaison Officers, (both were posted at Kew) who not only send the pictures from K but also provided me images from other major European herbaria (P, G, LINN, BM, UPS) during their visit. I’m also thankful to Dr. I. Belyaeva for sending me type images of P. pamirica from Lenningrad. I really enjoyed this discussion. Thank you Sir.


Dear Dr. Khuroo,

Thanks so much for your posting. This is Populus szechuanica var. tibetica. Basically Indian “Populus balsamifera”(of Hooker, Brandis) is now considered under Populus szechuanica var. tibetica following C.K. Schneider (Pl. Wilson., 1916). I do not agree with to eFlora of Pakistan that  “Indian specimens of P. balsamifera actually belong to P. pamirica”. You can check the character through Flora of China and also from the book Pl. Wilson., 1916. Thanks for providing the fruiting catkin which helps a lot for identification. Next time when you collect Populus please try to follow their fruiting and ovary characters (shape & hairiness of ovary, length of stipe of ovary and number of valves in the fruits after dehiscence). And if possible try to take photographs of the entire catkin and fruits. 


I hope to see some more post of Populus and Salix as well from Ladakh. 






Thanks,
Sukla

Thanks Dr Shukla for your expert comments.
I believe in India we badly require family experts like you.
But that is not priority agenda for funding agencies.
They fund molecular studies of wrongly identified taxa.

Dr. Khuroo I'm totally agree with you. The confusing taxa can be properly identified with the help of molecular technique. But it is pretty expensive.
