Hooghly Today : Rungia parviflora Nees var. pectinata ?

[surajit koley]

Sir,

"Bengal Plants" describes three Rungia species :-

1. R. repens Nees = leaves subsessile, scabrid, ...... bracts round, apiculate....
2. R. parviflora Nees var. pectinata = barren bracts mucronate, often cuspidate, fertiles ones hairy, smaller than the others
3. R. parviflora Nees var. muralis = barren bracts ovate, acute, fertile ones nearly as large as the others......

This is a small erect herb, about 15 cm high, found in rural roadside.

Is it the Rungia pectinata (Linnaeus) Nees of FoC?

Thank you & Regards,

surajit
