thanks for giving the details to confirm the species,, i agree that your photos put in such posts are not for querying id,, but fact is that you are never sure about your id.. and how can one know the plant size with the photographs, than it becomes difficult to confirm the species when there are similar species in the same genus..
example check with your Thelepaepale ixiocephala.... so if you put the morphological details it will be good for people like to know the species in proper details thanks and regards On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 2:57 AM, Dinesh Valke <[email protected]>wrote: > Dear HS, > > The crux of my posts with the subject line having words *Names of Plants > in India* is validating the names. > The photos put in such posts are not for querying ID. > > Am quite comfortable with *Smithia setulosa*. > This photo indeed shows large handsome flower of *Smithia setulosa*, about > 15 - 20 mm across. > All aspects about this plants are larger in comparison to other species of > *Smithia* found in northern Western Ghats. > The full grown plant stands about 1 - 1.5 m tall, with large compound > leaves, the leaflets as large as compound leaves of the other 2 species. > > Both *S. hirsuta* and *S. bigemina* are smaller plants, less than a metre > high. > > > Cannot rule out a mistake by showing a wrong photo while documenting names; > please do alert me. > > Regards. > Dinesh > > > > > > > > > > > > On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 12:24 PM, H S <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I am confused with the identity...
