Tinosporia sinensis syn. Tinosporia malabarica

[Rashida Atthar]

As requested by Dr. Gurcharan ji in a separate thread, here's the climber Tinosporia sinensis, seen at Sawantwadi, Mah., in Sep.'10 and ided. by Dr. Almeida.

regards,

Rashida.

Rashida ji ... any key (visual) difference from T. cordifolia ?
Regards.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Thanks Rashida ji

It would be a good addition once Shrikant ji and Vijayasankar ji confirm it as T. sinensis.

eFlora of Pakistan and eFlora of China have really confused me.

Yes, Rashida ji's plant is T. sinensis. Almost the entire plant is pubescent (often softly hirsute on stems), a distint feature to easily distinguish from T. cordifolia, which is glabrous throughout.

Just one minor correction here. Its Tinospora without an "i" after
'r'.

Tinospora Miers Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 2, 7(37): 38. 1851
