Pankaj i had said this tree PADAM was *Prunus cerasoides* Don. 1825 and that it was listed as threatened in this link: and found a hindi essay that says its a threatened tree https://www.jagran.com/uttarakhand/almora-padam-tree-is-brink-of-extinction-14999407.html
to which Shoba mentioned that she "Although they have mentioned that it's a threatened species,fortunately I could see number of these trees in Chopta-Mandal region." i take it we need a short explanation of what is threatened and that finding even a small stand of the same tree does not negate the threatened perception or listing thats where i thought you can help us out Regards Ushadi On Fri, Nov 29, 2019 at 3:51 AM Pankaj Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you mam. > What is the question here? > > On Thu, 28 Nov 2019 at 20:20, ushadi <[email protected]> wrote: > >> SHobha >> threatened status is a tricky thing >> Threatened status is not removed when one sees a few trees in the same are >> >> Pankaj who deals in Orchids and many of them are threatened >> he can perhaps explain it better in lingo i can understand >> so copying this to him too >> Regards >> Ushadi >> >> >> On Thu, Nov 28, 2019 at 4:53 PM Shobha Halwe-Chavda <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Ushadi ji,I had seen similar tree-flowers of Peach Fruit Tree in Bhutan >>> last year.I think they too belong to the same Genus - Prunus. >>> Regards >>> >>> On Tuesday, 26 November 2019 14:16:26 UTC+5:30, Shobha Halwe-Chavda >>> wrote: >>>> >>>> Dear Friends, >>>> Flower for id pl.Local people call this 'पदम’ tree. >>>> Location - Chopta ( Uttarakhand) >>>> Date - November 2019 >>>> Regards, >>>> Shobha Chavda >>>> >>> -- >>> 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 view this discussion on the web, visit >>> https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/indiantreepix/47e54c75-0219-47b8-8ac8-856c196676a4%40googlegroups.com >>> <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/indiantreepix/47e54c75-0219-47b8-8ac8-856c196676a4%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> >>> . >>> >> > > -- > ****************************************************** > **************************************************************** > *Pankaj Kumar*, Ph.D. > *IUCN-SSC Orchid Specialist Group Asia* > > *Office*: > > Orchid Conservation Section > > Flora Conservation Department > > Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) Corporation > Lam Kam Road, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong S.A.R., China > > *email*: [email protected]; [email protected] > *Phone*: +852 2483 7128 (office - 8:30am to 5:00pm); +852 9436 6251 > (mobile); *Fax*: +852 2483 7194 > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
