Thanks a lot VijayasankarJi for the ID. Well its very difficult to distinguish between C, acicularis and C. nana . All characters are very very similar except the height. C. acicularis is 10-50 cm where as C. nana is 10-25 cm (there might be morphological variation due to ecological factors). Mine (up loaded here) is 40 cm in height. So i guess its C.acicularis. I thinks u raised a valid point. I have not yet got the other one. Lets wait for others to respond this.
Many thanks Satish Sir for ur appreciation. Regards prasad On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 7:25 PM, Satish Phadke <[email protected]> wrote: > Prasad ji > I was wondering how did I miss this?
