Ah yes, I did already! Not to worry, I often get muddled with terms too! Chris F.-J. On Friday, 4 February 2022, 04:43:03 GMT, J.M. Garg <[email protected]> wrote: -- With regards, J. M.

I have added a few photos of a tropophyll from various angles that might show the exact features that you are looking for. (I am still trying to search for the exact meaning of 'dentate' and 'ciliate' features of the Macro and microsporophylls!) PS- I am using a micro 4/3rd Olympus camera,with macro lens. The difference comes from using a good flash diffuser. On Thu, 3 Feb 2022 at 06:12, J.M. Garg <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks a lot, Chris ji -- With regards, J. M.

Garg <[email protected]> What fantastic, superb photos! - best Selaginella photo I've seen anywhere, clearly shows aristate median leaves and a very narrow pale margin to leaves, plus of course the strongly dimorphic sporophylls (might need one more of a strobilus from beneath to see cilia etc.?). How did you take the photos and what camera? If only others could take such good photos of Selaginella - you deserve a prize for excellent photographic service to Pteridology! My first impression is Selaginella chrysorrhizos. It is in that rather ticky group, anyway. But tomorrow when I get more time I will study it more carefully and see if I still think that. I did not know of S. chrysorrhizos from Maharashtra, but it is in M.P. and in Kerala, so could well (should!) be there. Best wishes - I'm very impressed! Chris F.-J.

Date: Jan end 2022 Habitat: Wet rocks near waterfall. Habitus- growing laterally from rockface. Size 6cm. I could not find any with strobili. Is it possible to id on leaf structure and arrangement alone, considering the distribution ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
