[shobha chavda]

Dear Friends,

Recently I had been to Sri Lanka and have photographed few plants/Flowers.As this country is part of indian sub-continent,many of the plants are common in both the countries.From today onwards, I ' ll be posting some of the photographs.Kindly help me in identifying them or otherwise enjoy the beauty.

 This creeper of pink flowers was simply amazing.We could hardly see any leaves on it.Any clue ?

Thanx.

Dear Friends,

 Hakgala Botanical Garden of Sri Lanka is the highest set Botanical Garden in the world - 5000 to 6000 ft. above sea-level. this garden was expanded during British period and has wide variety of trees brought from Japan,China, California and Queensland.In this garden, first time I came ac cross a Fern Tree.Uptil now,I had seen only bushes or shrubs of Fern.(  in India too we may be having this variety ! ).its a genus of Cyathea. is it crinita or spinulosa ?I don't remember exactly.Kindly confirm.

Thanx,

Shobha

Hi, Shobha ji,

Pl. follow the following posting guidelines along with format for Id requests:

“9. Numbering for Id requests- DDMMYY+ Initials+ Sl.No. (if more than one on same day) to avoid any confusion, clubbing of mails with same subject line on the Google group, better linking in Indiantreepix database etc. For example if I post an Id request, it will be like ''For Id 060408JM1’’, 060408JM2 etc., in case it is not like '' Is it Bombax ceiba (Semal)?'' (this is much better) & recommended. One may post one or two Id requests a day for better attention & feedback."

In Eastern India we have Cyathia spinulosa. Your specimen is not
definitely that one, so it is possible C.crnita. It is just an
assumption.

Dear Friends,

  Hakgala Botanical Garden of Sri Lanka is  the highest set Botanical Garden in the World-about 5000-6000 ft. above sea-level .This Garden was expanded during British period and has wide variety of trees like Monetary Cypress trees from California,Japannese Cedars,trees from Queensland and China.I don't know whether in India we have " Fern Trees"! I have always seen small shrub type varities in Fern.But in Hakagala I saw Big Fern trees of Cyathea genus . This one which I m posting is most probably Cyathea crinita  ( or spinulosa ? ).Pl.confirm.

Thanx,

Shobha

 Dear all,

The first image is not informative,

 

  The second image, I think that is Cyathea spinulosa , any way not C.crinita .

  But Srilanka  have  C.crinita.

Please remember to post close and  informative images , that means, should show appendages, soral arrangement  etc

Earlier I wrote that C. spinulosa is known to me (See the attachment). This specimen does not look the same to me (only from external appearance)

Dear Sibdas da,

I only suggested the name and not sure about it . Its hard for me to distinguish a tree fern from a photograph taken at a distance and not close enough. I urge experts like you to please suggest the correct specific epithet of the plant.
