Sir I think Muehlenbeckia platyclados is a different plant 

i have both in my college will shot both today again and share

[tanay bose]

Hi Balkar ji ,

Firstly note the typo in the spelling Homalocladium platycladum in the post by Sir Ji.

Lastly I support the  Sir Ji comment of Muehlenbeckia platyclada (F. Muell.) Meisn. 

being the synonym of  Homalocladium platycladum, which is true according to GRIN.

Thanks

Tanay

Phyllanthus epiphyllanthus?????

[Dinesh Valke]

Balkar ji ... not familiar with Phyllanthus epiphyllanthus.

[Dr Pankaj Kumar]

Respected Balkar sir

Phyllanthus epiphyllanthus
Thanks for sharing.

Very good identification, Balkar ji. I never imagined this kind of phylloclades in Phyllanthus, so I didn't think of it. 
Thanks for the id.

Thanks Dinesh Ji Pankaj Ji and Vijaysankar Ji

[Ushadi micromini]

After all is said and done...
the shorthand conversations among experts though must be meaningful
to them,

its confusing me...

For simple minded folks like me, I need clear cut id...what is the
first one and
what is the second one?

PLEASE SPELL IT OUT , preferably in different postings....

Thank you...

The synonym tells us that the phylloclade (leaf-like, flattened stem) was initially mistaken for a leaf due to its appearance.

Although the two plants look similar superficially, and I also got confused earlier, they are quite distinct although the stem is flattened in both.

First and third set of photographs belong to Phyllanthus epiphyllanthus. Note continuous stem with flowers along the margin.

The second set of photographs belong to  Homacladium platycladum (syn Muehlenbeckia platyclados, Polygonum platycladum F.Muell.), a member of Polygonaceae, note jointed stem divided into flattened sepments, a modification of stem known as phylloclad, also seen in Opuntia.

Many thanks to all ... many thanks to Balkar ji for the special Phyllanthus epiphyllanthus.
Regards.

[formp...@yahoo.com]

Could get the explaination properly. But photos are gone. Is it possible to put back the 1st set with discription and 2nd set with discription.
Am I asking too much?
Thank you.

And the clarification was well received, Gurucharanji.
