Hi Garg ji,

Very few photos with me; I have put them in this post.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks a lot, Dinesh ji.

[J.M. Garg]

Dracaena terniflora posted by Dinesh ji from South India is possibly D. thwaitesii Regel, the only wild species known to occur in peninsular India and Sri Lanka.

This is for your kind information please.

Kind regards,

Tapas.

Thanks Garg ji and Tapas ji.

Shrikant ji had provided the ID while we were exploring some area of Castlerock..

Here are some places where I found Dracaena terniflora Roxb. mentioned distributed in south India ...

1. Thesis: Exploration and elucidation of traditional medicinal plants of erstwhile tulunadu and surrounding area of kerala and karnataka ... Researcher: Subrahmanya, Prasad K, Guide: Raveendran, K
2. Kerala Plants
3. Flora of Peninsular India

Since D. thwaitesii Regel. is a possibility, we will wait for comments to revise my notes at flickr.

Regards.

Dear Dinesh ji,

After rigorous review, our paper on the taxonomy of Indian Dracaena has been accepted for publication in the forthcoming  P. Lakshminarasimhan memorial issue of JETB. I will send you a copy of that once published.You had kindly allowed me to reproduce your photographs of Dracaena and we have reproduced two of them with due acknowledgement.

A number of confusions have been clarified in this paper.

Regards,

Tapas.

[Dinesh Valke]

Hearty congratulations dear Tapas ji.

Thanks very much. I will revise my notes at flickr accordingly.

Regards.

Dinesh

Dear Tapas ji,

I hope your paper on the taxonomy of Indian Dracaena has been published in the P. Lakshminarasimhan memorial issue of JETB. Is it possible for you to share the paper with eFI (if it is in public domain) OR share the URL to the site where the paper is stored. It will definitely throw light on its species: terniflora VS thwaitesii .

Regards.

Dinesh

Unfortunately the journal JETB is running late. Even the proof has not been received. It will take some more time. I will definitely send a copy when published because Dinesh ji kindly allowed us to reproduce his photographs.

Regards,

Tapas.

[Dinesh Valke]

Thank you very very much dear Tapas ji.

I followed up because I am keen to know the natural distribution of the two species.

Regards.

Dinesh

Dear Tapas ji,

Please comment on ID of the posted plant, based on your study and recent paper - Conspectus of the genus Dracaena (Asparagaceae) in the Indo-Burmese region.

Regards.

Dinesh

Reply from another post of the same plant:
Dear Dinesh ji,

Thank you for resurfacing.

Well, Dracaena terniflora Roxb. is a highly misinterpreted species. It is now a synonym of D. elliptica Thunb. & Dalm.

As regards the images posted here, these are identifiable as D. spicata Roxb., characterized by the simple inflorescences. However, these images show that the inflorescences have one or two very short branches towards the base, i.e. near the apex of the peduncle. Thus it appears to be a slightly divergent variant of D. spicata and it requires further critical field investigation to ascertain whether this difference merits a distinct varietal status for this plant.. 

With regards,

Tapas Chakrabarty.
