Erythrina page with images of species in efloraofindia

[J.M. Garg]

Pl. go through Erythrina page with images of species (done by Surajit ji) in efloraofindia.

If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know.

If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice. Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let me know.

Thanks, Brij Mohan ji.

Pl. see the calyx picture (most important character for their identity) in the 2nd set at Erythrina suberosa Roxb., which clearly points towards these being Eruthrina suberosa. Pl. also see the keys at this page.

As per discussions in different threads, spines are quite variable & quite confusing for their identification. 

Pl. see the calyx in the illustration at  http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=116719&flora_id=2

Dear Garg ji,

Two images in E. stricta and E. suberosa are same and are most likely E. stricta (Illustration on http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=116719&flora_id=2 shows dense spines) I have also observed dense spines in E. stricta and unarmed petioles (major identification feature being glabrous leaves).

The first set of images in E. suberosa link, By Nidhan Singh ji seems to be correct. The last image shows sparse spines than E. stricta. But the second set of images by Satish ji and Dinesh ji (two of these repeated on main page) seem more like E. stricta.

 The description on the following links given in the page also indicate to same points.

Please seek further expert opinion on this.

Thanks Garg ji and Brij Mohan ji.

Most probably I had labelled my photos as E. suberosa. One of the photos was submitted to UBC Botanical Garden, long back in 2007.

E. stricta var. suberosa got suggested.
Will wait for any more comment(s) to know if it is E. stricta.

Regards.

Dinesh
