Thank you, Regards, surajit ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: surajit koley <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Dec 1, 2013 at 10:54 PM Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:175125] Pennisetum purpureum Schumach. (??) from Assam To: Manoj Chandran <[email protected]> Sir, I am very happy to read you again after a long pause. This grass is from Assam, by Karuna Sir. Thank you very much for taking care of this post. I agreed because of long awn on spikelets and long bristle at leaf base. But, now after reading this mail, spikelets seem to be more like *P. pedicellatum* than of *P. purpureum*. "Rachis" characteristic is too hard ! Thank you again for correcting me. I am forwarding this mail to the group and Karuna Sir.
