Hello Mayurji,

 

This is surely not Pollia sp.

 

In my view, this cud be Rhopalephora scaberrima (Blume) Faden, Phytologia. 37: 480. 1977.

=Aneilema scaberrima Blume

 

Regards,

Ritesh.

Hello to all,

Here some Images of Rhopalephora scaberrima.

Thnx

[Prashant awale]

Dear Mayur ji, Ritesh ji,
I have few photos from Mizoram of similar flowers. Requesting you to have a look.
regards
Prashant

[Mayur Nandikar]

Hello,

         The above images are nothing but some Rhopalephora but its difficult to determine the species. But your earlier images are much closer to Pollia sps. 

         In southern India we have only single species of Rhopalephora i.e R. scaberrima.(earlier posted by me).

         According to Dr. Faden in his article the Genus Rhopalephora he said "Rhopalephora consist of abt four ill defined species separated from one another largely on characters of the mature capsules. and final taxonomic treatment of the species must await further studies, particularly with living material.

        above given pictures is definitely different than R. scaberrima (on the basis of capsule and 

inflorescence ) it might be R. vitiensis or R.micrantha.

Thanx      

[Ritesh Kumar Choudhary]

Thanx for the information Mayurji,

I've come across only one species of Rhopalephora i.e. R. scaberrima in NE India. May be this cud be something different. Hoping you to put more effort in resolving the identity as you are working on the same family in detail.
All the best.

Regards,
Ritesh.
