DV :: 03APR11 - 0831 :: Eranthemum - other than rosea / purpurascens / pulchellum

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear friends,

Attached photos of an Eranthemum species.
Date/Time : April 3, 2011 at 8.31am IST
Location Place : near Bajpe, Mangalore
Altitude : ~146 ft (above mean sea level)
GPS : 12.966247, 74.872797 (on Google maps)



My plant is most probably same as Muthu ji's plant posted at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/JZRLBS52Lc0/discussion.


With lot of discussion recently on Eranthemum, and clarity received from Gurcharan ji, Shrikant ji, Satish Pardeshi ji ... my plant does not look like any of them: rosea / purpurascens / pulchellum.


Please help in ID.

Regards.
Dinesh
