Dear members
As announced earlier we are having Asteraceae Weeks, in three episodes in
May, June and July, 2013. After earlier discussions it has been decided to
have uploads under three categories:
May: Radiate heads (in which head looks like a flower with outer petals
(ray florets), and disc florets in center)
June: Discoid heads (with no petal like structure, only disc florets)
Junly: Ligulate heads (only ray florets, no disc in center)
Realising the fact that some genera may have both radiate and discoid
heads, we will go by majority condition. To make it convenient for members
we will announce list of genera in advance, but would also be ready for
some mixing of uploads as we dis for grasses, sedges and rushes this month.
Asteraceae is a huge family, and we may expect large number of uploads.
Also the family is very well represented in both cold and warmer climates,
which usually have very distinct Flora. It, would as such would serve a
better purpose, if some experts volunteer to coordinate/help in
coordinating any of the three episodes on family Asteraceae. Poaceae,
Cyperaceae and Juncaceae episode was very fruitful because of involvement
of Manoj ji and Nayan ji. It is later on that we came to know of expertise
of Tanveer ji and Manish ji. The episode would have been much more useful,
if they had started interacting a bit earlier.
I would request experts to volunteer for episode of their choice. If
there are two to three coordinators/experts for each episode, it would be
very useful.for tackling the great diversity within the family.
Requesting members to volunteer for coordination.
