What is the name of this plant and flower?:

  • There is no appropriate Bengali name here in Bangladesh, but it looks like our very common “Kolmi” Flower (কলমি ফুল) so Its name in our country is Sagor Kolmi (সাগর কলমি). In bengali language “Sagor” means “sea”, It generally live/grows in the sea shore or sea beach so, Its name is “Sagor kolmi” (সাগর কলমি), It has other popular name, is Sagor lota (সাগর লতা) in English it can be translated as “Sea creeping”. It’s a creeping plants grows in the sea shore so its name also “Sagor lota (সাগর লতা)” The appearance of this leaf is the shape of the ‘goat’s foot hoof’, so the other name of this creeping plant is “Goatkhur (ছাগল খুর).
  • In English language it is generally knowns as “Beach Morning Glory” or “Coastal morning glory”, It is also known as “Goat’s foot creeper”, “Bay hops” etc…
  • In Hindi (Indian) is called as “Do Patti Lata”

Photo captured from Inani Sea Beach, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

These plants can survive well in salty water and just on the pure sandy surfaces like sea shore, sand beach etc, this creeper has spread to many countries in the world by sea. As the seeds of this creeping plant are so tolerant of salt water and float in water “Sagarkalami/ Sagor lata” or Beach Morning glory is one of the plants in which the ocean spread has occurred. It is generally seen at off the coast of the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Ocean, New South Wales, Queensland Coast, Hawaii Island, Mexico, Africa, Florida. In Bangladesh we have long sea and sand beach, namely “Cox’s Bazar” , that is almost 120 km long, so Cox’s Bazar sea beach is called as “World’s largest sea beach” So most of our coastal areas in Cox’s bazar it easy can be found, Beside that Kuakata and St. Islands is can be seen easily.

The leaves of these kind of creeping plant are bright green, its leaves look like (appearance) Goat’s hoof. Its fruits and flowers are big and looks like a mike, Flowers bloom almost all the yearlong. Kalmi is very well known in Bengali language. Those flowers (Sagor lota) are very similar to the flowers, fruits and character of Kalmi. It is a thin herbaceous perennial herb. The width of the vine is 2 cm or less. Sequence 6.4 mm. The team is about 40 mm long. The fruit is brown in color and it contains four seeds. The seeds are black in color.

The blue water and waves from the sea is now flowing freely on the shores of the sea. ‘Sagar Lata’ has lost its existence in the face of various man-made architectures, adversities and artificial installation in the shore are for tourism and other purposes. As the crowds in Cox’s Bazar have decreased due to the corona virus, a fair of ‘Sagar Lata’ has started to be held on Cox’s Bazar and other sea beaches in Bangladesh! It’s a very cool scene now! We should protect our earth, and these creeping plats too, for its normal breeding out!

Our ‘Slogan’ always should be “Save the earth! And save our planet!”

You may be boring with long writing of me , so here I am ending up today!

Have a great day my all loving LGs! :sunflower: :sunflower:

Take care all my friends! Be safe, healthy and happy as well as smilingly always ! :pray: :purple_heart:
