Thanks, Lalithamba ji. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Lalithamba Avadhanam <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2019 at 20:53 Subject: Re: [itpmods:13329] Fwd: Leaf veins are important for id in closer species To: <[email protected]>
If we closely read FPM Gamble, he describes venation for almost all species; even venation in floral leaves is diverse if we observe closely; and as Rawat ji had pointed out indumentum is one more important character in identification; the sad thing is many of the students are not giving importance to morphology; it is a basic necessity for taxonomy, I wonder without morphological knowledge how could they study taxonomy, in this digital camera age they prefer to compare the images to learn taxonomy, they thought it is a dead subject. thank you regards A.Lalithamba On Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 8:22 PM D.S Rawat <[email protected]> wrote: > Garg Ji > Even trichomes (often incorrectly written as hair) can be of diagnostic > value. > Attaching here a recent paper based on the work of one of my M.Sc. student. > I also endorse the statement by Dr Pankaj that number of morphological > taxonomists is reducing which is a serious problem world over.
