Plant for ID: Bangalore: Sept 2024

[Nancy Seby]

Hello everybody, 

Please help ID this plant photographed at Bangalore International center. I understand that the white flowers belong to another plant. It would be helpful if you could help ID that plant as well. I could not get photos of the leaves of the white flower plant.

Warm regards

Thank you very much, Mr. Kasaju. I was not able to match it with anything on the Araceae page.

Do you think it is Calla palustris?

Leaves appear to be slightly different than those on net.

Dear

This one is really strange amalgamation of 2 aquatic species the leaves are that of Calla palustris (bog arum), I almost 100% sure given the leaf morphology and aquatic habit. The flower of this species is funnel like spathe, a constant of araceae family.

The flower attached is that of Sagittaria latifolia (Duck potato), but the arrow shaped leaves are no where to be seen. My guess is that the rhizome is buried under water  and is flowering. It could be Echinodorus also.

As for Echinodorus cordifolius the leaf morphology of this South American Amazon species light green with striated throughout. Leaf is unlikely to be that of any Echinodorus.

Thank you very much, Mr. Garg. Thank you for the detailed explanation, Dr. Rajamani.

I agree that the leaves are of Calla palustris, and the white flowers are of Echinodorus cordifolius. Though I tried, I could not find any leaves of Echinodorus cordifolius.

Thank you very much for all the input. As always, very thankful for this group, and for the effort everybody put into correctly identifying plants.

Warm regards
