Dendrophthoe glabrescens in FOI

[J.M. Garg]

Hi, Tabish ji,

Images of Dendrophthoe glabrescens in FOI by Shaista Ahmad are of Dendrophthoe gamblei as per images and details herein.

Looks different from Dendrophthoe glabrescens as per GBIF.

Pl. correct.

Thank you Garg ji for pointing it out!

  The flower on FOI was photographed by Shaista in 2010. That time there was no report of an India record of Dendrophthoe glabrescens in India. But since this was the closest I could get to any known species, I identified it as Dendrophthoe glabrescens. Good to know that it has been described as a new species a decade later!

   Cheers!
