Hi all,

 

In the last mail I asked the group to id a berry plant. A few replied but few doubts to clear.

Most of the description of Rivina humilis matches with the picture to be ided. But some differences can be seen between them.

 

For example, the size of the berry is smaller in the id than Rivina humilis (may be due to shrinkage by heat).

the size of the flower is smaller in the pic.

pedicels are thin in case of the picture to be ided. in Rivina humilis, the pedicels are stout.

 

I may be wrong, as this is done not by years of study but by a mere observation.

 

Can any body help clarify my doubts ?

 

Regards

The variations do occur due to ecological conditions.  For e.g. The neem tree in Mysore city  itself looks quite different from the one in Chennai  (size, colour etc.) (b)  In Boerhavia sps of Nictaginaceae you have  the same species growing in different forms in calcium rich  environment.
