Dear friends,
Are both: Entada (rheedei and scandens) find distributed in our country ?
Are they native ?
Any easy key to differentiate them ?
Regards.

Hi Dinesh,
Entada scandens is a synonym of E.rheedei. It is fairly widely distributed all over the country and recently encountered it even in the Garo Hills, Meghalaya. Check for it in Khandala & Phansad.

Common name sea bean and African dream herb. I have seen this in Tamil
Nadu ( outskirts of Chennai on many locations) and of course in
Karnataka also. Sea Bean is native to South Asia, Africa and
Australia. Its leaves are dried and smoked to induce vivid dreams.
That is why the name African Dream Herb.

Many thanks Neil ji and Shrikant ji for throwing light.
Did not know about E. scandens auct. non Bth
My query arose because Entada scandens does not appear as a synonym at NPGS / GRIN ... http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?412130
AND Entada scandens (L.) Benth. is put as synonym of Entada phaseoloides (L.) Merr. ... http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?411955 which is not distributed in Indian subcontinent.

Hi Dinesh,
Forgot to mention - closer home, have also seen it on the Tulsi trail in the Borivali N.P. and an aggregation of huge climbers above the Kanheri caves on the trek from Mama Bhanja. |

Yes Neil ji ... me too have observed mighty lianes in inner hills of Yeoor and Kanheri.
A bit far: Karnala ... and possibly in some core parts of Tungar hills.
Many thanks.
