Pankaj ji Here is another project for you and Tabish ji Upper petal is supposed to be bilobed in I. sulcata. The flowers at FOI and photograph on the web by Ananya have also a mucro in the notch. Above flower has no trace of notch or mucro
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4rLL6rCqAqudcQEodSk0YA Upper lateral petals are smaller and almost under the upper petal in FOI and Ananya's photographs, also of the same colour. They are much broader and almost lateral and much lighter almost translucent in above. The lower lateral petals are much broader without tapering lowr half. In above photographs the lower half is distinctly tapered and pointed. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
