Hi, Aparna ji, With so much of details in the photographs, do you think we can't identify even the genus of the grass species? I think digital photography has changed world without recognition. We can't totally ignore or look away the great details, which photographs provide for identification if all aspects are captured well. I think capturing all aspects is more important. Let the experts tell what more is required for correct identification.
One hardly finds much details on net for such species. We can't wait for the perfect things (which never will in any case) to happen. Our Floras only bulky technical details, hardly unreadable to a laymen. Or we simply stop photographing or knowing about Poaceae, Cyperaceae etc. I will also like to hear more from other experts in this matter. 2009/11/3 Aparna Watve <[email protected]> > Again and again, I will attach this to similar messages > Taxonomist's Warning > "Identification of Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Eriocaulaceae (to name a few) > should not be confirmed from photographs" > (In the interest of scientific accuracy) > : ) > Aparna > > On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 9:30 AM, Nayan Singh <[email protected]> > wrote: > > looks like Chrysopogon sp may be Chrysopogon fulvus > > thaks > > Nayan > > > > N.S.Dungriyal IFS > > Chief Conservator of Forests > > and Field Director > > Satpura Tiger Reserve Hoshangabad > > M.P. > > 09424792100 > > > > ________________________________ > > From: J.M.
