Hi,
Could You tell me, how many species of Crescentia (Bignoniaceae) are there
(apart from C. cujete)?

Best regards,
Bpjea

This might help.

From the International Plant Names Index website:

Put crescentia in the window labeled Genus name.

This is what I get.

Not really. As the Mini FAQ says, IPNI lists all names ever published.
According to Mabberley (2002) there are six species total in this genus.
Based on the review in the Flora Neotropica.

OK. Lots of those names are synonyms. You can click on each name to find
some.

Clicking on them will only give the data as existed upon publication. If you
want to have more data online, try cross-referencing with TROPICOS. Or just
Google.

Thanks a lot
Anyway it's more than I thought. Could You just tell me if that genus is
only native to America (South and Central)?
I've got a picture of one Crescentia species and it seems it will be much
harder to identify it.
It seems to me, because You could be more lucky in giving a right name of
it.
I'll publish the picture and I'll tell You the URL to it.
I have a few more pictures (of some other species) from Peru, and I have no
idea what they're showing.

Thx,
Bpjea

Yes, only the Neotropics. Puerto Rico has a species and so does the Amazon

That might be a nice idea, although I am not really very good at identifying
plants. But Mel seems to be, and perhaps somebody else will pitch in.

As I've said here come the pictures:

Crescentia species (Iquitos, Peru):
http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zd...escentia01.jpg

And now some unknown species:

Please tell me the IDs (at least a genus name)
1.) Origin: Pisco, Peru
http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zdjecia/no_id01.jpg

2.) Origin: Iquitos, Peru
http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zdjecia/no_id02.jpg

3.) Origin: Iquitos, Peru; I ask for the trunk, unfortunately I don't have
any other photo of that tree - I know that guessing having only a trunk
picture is hard (but not for an expert

http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zdjecia/no_id03.jpg

4.) Origin: Iquitos, Peru;

http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zdjecia/no_id04.jpg

5.) Origin: Iquitos, Peru; what's that huge tree? Ficus species? I doubt
about it.

http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zdjecia/no_id05.jpg

6.) Origin: Iquitos, Peru; a young tree (may be of the same species that
no.5) or possibly an aerial root (?)
It wasn't me who had taken these pictures, otherwise I could tell You
something more about them.

http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zdjecia/no_id06.jpg

7.) Origin: Iquitos, Peru; I ask for these palms

http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zdjecia/no_id07.jpg

8.) Origin: Iquitos, Peru; a palm

http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zdjecia/no_id08.jpg

9.) Origin: Iquitos, Peru; a climber (?) possibly (the fruits I mean)

http://www.geocities.com/drzewa98/zdjecia/no_id09.jpg

Any ideas are welcome

Best regards,

06 is an easy one. Almost certainly the stilt roots at the base of a young
palm Socratea (probably exorrhiza but I've seen a lot of S. salaszarii near
Iquitos also.)

Thank You I'll check that one.
I'm waiting for some info concerning the rest of pictures.

It seems You were right. It looks like Socratea exorrhiza to me.
I'd be glad to see some info about the other pictures I've provided.

I looked in the Flora Neotropica and there is only one species of Crescentia
native to Peru: Crescentia amazonica. Of course Crescentia cujete is widely
naturalized. The difference should be in the size of the fruits: if these
are smaller than 8 cm it is C. amazonica; if biggere than 8 cm it is C.
cujete.

I have quite an interest in palms and have studied them intensely before
each trip to Iquitos. Still there are hundreds of species in the area and
distinguishing them is tricky even if you are actually there. Your picture
# 04 looks like the fruit cluster of some Attalea palm. Many of them do not
have pendulous inflorescence, but some do. Perhaps Attalea tessmannii?
Your picture 7 is a stand of palms too far away for me to recognize. Maybe
an Oenocarpus or Euterpe. Can't really say anything about the palm in pic
8. My profession is plasma-physics and my hobby is beetles. Plants are
just a mild interest. I'm surprised you don't get more response from real
plant people.
