Thanks Tanay for the very useful link. Bye the way I wanted to elicit one discussion on the subject. *What is the series of steps say a botanist takes while going for the ID.* Everyone is free to answer his own way. Personally if I am conversant to the flower and if I remember to have seen it somewhere I try to recollect the name. If not Then I try to put it vaguely in some family......(sometimes this is also wrong) If I apply some tentative genus name by recollecting.... I put the genus word in search window of Google and Flowersofindia site. There are some books with each of us which are often useful. For differentiation between the species I have to look for the flora. I have print copy of BSI Maharashtra flora; some other floras and ref. books are online. Often the shortcut easily taken is to put on Efloraofindia group.I get the ID 99% of times. This is a simple non botanist person's approach who is supposed to be amateur botanist. I will be interested in looking at the opinions which may be useful to similar minded members. Regards Dr Phadke
