Dear Ushaji, Im sorry - im not a trained botanist and being swayed by "peer-pressure" of multiple ID's pointing towards D. spectabilis. After your rebuke im going over this again.
You have yourself suggested D. pulchra as the species, which seems more appropriate given the size of the leaf i have reported as being about 20 cm across, while for D. spectabilis the leaf is supposed to be only 2-7 cm across and long according to flowersofindia and 10-12 cm long according to the Dombeya page on efi. I need to recheck the leaf measurements again when im back at the site next month. Kindly please do suggest what other features i should look out for. nadeem On 1 February 2015 at 20:59, Ushadi Micromini <[email protected]> wrote: > color is a reason for classification???? > > really? > > that's not how taxonomy works > usha di > > On Sun, Feb 1, 2015 at 1:37 PM, nawaqif <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Thank you all - i take this to be Dombeya spectabilis based on color of >> the flower. >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "efloraofindia" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to [email protected]. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >> > > > > -- > Usha di > =========== > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
