Burrs of the Common Burbush

[Neil Soares]

Hi,  A few weeks ago Prof. Gurcharan Singh had solicited photographs of the fruit of the Common Burbush [Triumfetta rhomboidea] to differentiate it from the other species of Triumfetta. Though this is pretty mundane stuff around my farm, realised that over the past few years had inadvertently forgotten to photograph them.  Anyway, here are a few photographs taken at my farm yesterday.                         With regards,                           Neil Soares.

Thank you Neil ji

Could you kindly crop and upload only a fruit cluster from original photograph. I tried with your photographs, but being of less resolution the grain breaks on enlarging.

Singhji, the spines appear to be glabrous to indicate T. rhomboidea,
however there is clear distinction in leaves; ovate-lanceolate for T.
pilosa, 3-5 lobed for T. rhomboidea and orbicular for T. rotundifolia.
I am not aware of other species. Regards, Shrikant

Shrikant ji

My confusion was between T. rhomboidea and T. pentandra

This is from eFlora of Pakistan

Stamens mostly 15, rarely fewer but not less than 10. Spines on the capsule glabrous      Triumfettla rhomboidea Stamens mostly 5, rarely 10, spines on the                                                         capsule with fine spreading hairs on the                                                                                           dorsal side                                                                                                           Triumfetta pentandra
