Dear members,

Pl. go through ‎Cichorium (‎‎‎‎‎Asteraceae (Compositae)‎) page with images of species (done by me) in efloraofindia.

If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice.

Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know.

Thanks, Kannan ji.

It's a cultivar of Cichorium intybus posted by Singh ji.

Pl. also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicchio

But I agree with you to better delete it to remove any confusion.

Dear Sir

Please check whether the third image which is something like pink and white cabbage like structures is derived from Cichorium intybus.

Kannan ji

its radicchio

a chikory relation

now classified as one of the chicorium intybus

but you have to plant the specific seeds

it was written up as far back as Pliny the elder in his natural history essays.

and known throughout the history down to us as a liver and blood purifier.

Dear All

Thanks for clarification. Now I have a request to JM Garg. 

Cichorium intybus which is being cultivated to harvest root is a variety for which seeds are imported from France, and the plants does not have any difference to differentiate them from the indigenous cultivar which is being cultivated to harvest leaf as fodder and seeds for cultivation of this fodder crop. Similarly the radicchio (Cichorium intybus var. foliosum Radicchio Group) is the another cultivar.

My request is to have this varietal information in the Cichorium intybus page for more clarity to our future generation. Please....

Best Regards

R Kannan

Please do not delete it

if necessary :

a separate small square window of its own ... as Radcchio

if in doubt please see this essay by UC Davis genome group

and their composite picture

to people who are newcomers to the endives, chikory and radicchio eating and buying all this is exotic

and problematic

but it is not really.

with a little perseverance even this  type of newcomer can learn .

no need to delete any of it.
