Also check for P. variegatum   as the leaves are not clear in your photograph.

Thanks Surajit ji, Swamy ji and Usha ji....

Unfortunately I do not have pics of the leaves...my bad

Based on the key referenced by Surajit ji, I do not think the flowers were 4 cm wide, as far as I recollect, well I may be wrong....

Thanks and regards

Your species looks like the one I had https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/mttb1QQ8PdE/uGCst10wnj8J or the one https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/pfoC-Telpt0/ZlFrfaRgwScJ, Alka ji.

While GRIN treats the two as different taxa (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?30168) and (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?70518} Chinese Museum of Natural History and TPL think those are synonymous.

Thank you

Thanks Surajit ji for the info....however, very confusing.....I do not think that these leaves were purple on the backside.

Alka Ji,

You seem to have missed my e-mail address.

Your third picture shows leaves with purple veins. If you see DSCN4394.jpg in my thread, pasted in my earlier mail you will see that not all leaves have pure purple underside. At least two leaves there are more green than purple. Would it be impossible to find a few leaves in that particular shrub without any purple underside? In that very same picture in my thread one or two leaf even do not have purple vein!

Thank you

Regards

Thanks Surajit ji for pointing out....

I take it as P. carruthersii then....

And regarding missing you in the mail, its just that I do not know your email id.

When I reply to any post I click on the reply button and compose and send out the email, do not add any extra addresses in the Cc box other that those inserted by Google itself.

Is there any way I can extract the email addresses of the members of this group?

Thanks and regards

Alka Ji,

My email address is surajitno...@gmail.com

I do not receive all mails submitted to eFI. Unless mails are cc-ed or forwarded to me I won't be able to reply those threads. Earlier I used to bookmark threads, but this is troublesome to check each thread regularly. So, please reply me directly, else I would be in total darkness about the progress in a thread.

Now, about ID of your species. Since it is ornamental, I think, you can save it as Pseudoeranthemum reticulatum if you like, but without author citation. Nurseries make hybrids, cultivars with so many parent line that one can not make out the original parents of a species. Since P. reticulatum is commonly known as "yellow-vein eranthemum" one would naturally ask for yellow veins! However, Dave's think P. reticulatum as P. c. (var. carruthersii) while Toptropicals doesn't think so.

Thank you

Regards

surajit
