Thanks Garg ji for reminding me about two more genera Monsonia Pelargonium We should expect it to be a really useful week
For large and complex genera, I request members to keep special focus on following features for better resolution of identity: Geranium: Leaf outline, size and number of lobes; shape and size of stipules and very important the size of flower, relative size of sepals and petals and apex of petals (rounded or notched). Impatiens: Shape of capsule, erect or drooping; flower size, colour; length of spur, straight or curved; leaf insertion (alternate, opposite or whorled), leaf margin; shape of different petals. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
