B
Barleria prionitis +	The shrubs flower from September to December and fruit from January to April. Average fruit weight is 0.1g/fruit. Seeds obtained can grow in regular potted soils in 13-77 days.  +
Boerhavia diffusa +	Fl. and fr. spring-autumn.  +
C
Ceratopteris pteridoides +	The lower leaves are sterile, upper leaves bear buds which can grow into whole plants. Juveniles are free floating or submerged while adults can be submerged, free floating or emergent. The spores are presumably dispersed by water.  +
Ceratopteris thalictroides +	The lower leaves are sterile, upper leaves bear buds which can grow into whole plants. Juveniles are free floating or submerged while adults can be submerged, free floating or emergent. The spores are presumably dispersed by water.  +
Curcuma zedoaria +	Fl. Apr--Jun. 2 n = 42.  +
E
Elettaria cardamomum +	The flowering period is during March-September with peak period during June-August. The mean number of days required from initiation of flower to opening of last flower in the panicle is 210. The mean number of days to reach full bloom from bud initiation is 34.5. Time taken for full maturity of a capsule from flower opening is 114 days. The flowers remain open for a period of 13-14 hours. Flower opening starts at 4.15 am and extends up to 9.00 am during winter. Maximum flower opening is during 5 to 6 am. Dehiscence of anthers occurred within half an hour of flower opening. The highest percentage of pollen germination occurred between 6 to 10 am. Stigmatic receptivity is maximum during 8 to 11 am. The flowers are often cross-pollinated but self-pollination is not uncommon. Young panicles require 6- months to complete the flowering and flowering to harvest stage of capsule is extended about 120-130 days depending on the climatic conditions. Cardamom flower is bisexual and is adapted to entomophilous type of pollination. They very structure of the flower, attractive nature of the petals, and the production of nectar in the epigynous glands are adaptations for accomplishing cross-pollination. The chief pollinator of cardamom is honey bee. Two species namely Apis cerana indica and A. dorsata contribute to over 90% of pollination. Peak foraging is recorded between 9 am and 11 am depending upon environmental conditions. Three to five visits per flower is optimum for pollination. The flora in cardamom plantation comprises of 37 species, out of which 19 are trees. Shade trees such as Vernonia arborea, Ficus retusa and Cassia fistula are the major sources for nectar. A limited pollination occurred through ants and rainwater.  +
H
Hiptage benghalensis +	Fl. Feb-Apr, fr. Apr-May.  +
Hygrophila auriculata +	Grows from August to March.  +
I
Isoetes coromandelina +	Disseminules are spores which are spread in clumps by wind. Local spread is by rhizomes.  +
J
Justicia adhatoda +	Fl. Per.: November-April (plains); July-October (hills).  +
M
Marsilea brachycarpa +	It is a tenagophyte. Juvenile usually submerged, adult is terrestrial. The plant is perennial, but sometimes annual.  +
Marsilea brachypus +	It is a tenagophyte. Juvenile usually submerged, adult is terrestrial. The plant is perennial, but sometimes annual.  +
Marsilea gracilenta +	It is a tenagophyte. Juvenile usually submerged, adult is terrestrial. The plant is perennial, but sometimes annual.  +
Marsilea maheshwari +	It is a tenagophyte. Juvenile usually submerged, adult is terrestrial. The plant is perennial, but sometimes annual.  +
Marsilea minuta +	It is a tenagophyte. Juvenile usually submerged, adult is terrestrial. The plant is perennial, but sometimes annual. In different Marsilea species, the adult can be floating, emergent or terrestrial. Plants usually require an emergent period to develop sporocarps. '''The sporocarps may remain viable for over a hundred years and may get reactivated after passing through a duck'''.  +
Microsorum pteropus +	The plant propagates through spores which develop only on terrestrial fronds and are presumably dispersed by wind. Rhizome fragments can also give rise to new plants, these may be spread by water.  +
Mimusops elengi +	Tree flowers in April, fruiting occurs in June  +
Murraya exotica +	The plant flowers irregularly throughout the year. Peak blooming time is mostly summer, when it has lots of sunlight. Fruits average ~0.3g/fruit. Plants can live atleast 15 years.  +
N
Nelumbo nucifera +	The plants also attract insects and are also anemophilous in their pollen/seed dispersal. The flowers bloom in the morning and wither away later in the day.  +
Nymphaea stellata +	Fl. Jul--Dec. 2n = 28, 56, 84.  +
P
Phyllanthus emblica +	Flowering from April to June; fruiting from July to September.  +
S
Santalum album +	''S. album'' is a hemi-parasite. It colonizes the roots of other plants to grow. Sandalwood also prefers to be grown alongside leguminous plants such as Acacias, Casuarinas.  +
Solanum virginianum +	Fl. Nov-May, fr. Jun-Sep.  +
