Dear Alfred ji, Whenever you upload pictures for identification, first of all, you have to submit the request as a different upload with unique subject line. I copy the following from Garg ji's mail to give you an idea about guidelines for posting pictures with id request. You are free to upload identified pictures as well with supporting information regarding the plant.
"May I request you to please follow the following posting guidelines: “1. *Maximum 3 posts per day for Identification requests/ confirmations- with one plant per mail, with different subject lines* only are allowed. *Pl. follow the following format for Identification requests/ confirmations:* Date/Time- Location- Place, Altitude, GPS- Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type- Plant Habit- Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb- *.........* *Pl. copy it & keep it on desktop in a Word document so that you can copy & paste it* *& fill in the information (& provide pictures for these) to the extent possible while requesting for Id. This is compulsory for Id requests.* *....* 4.* Mention the date & place (at least upto state level) *of the pictures posted. It is useful to add your name and location. Please try to identify yourself while posting. Mistakes are encouraged over stating nothing, for better learning/ understanding. No one is infallible. .... 9. *Numbering for Id requests in subject line:* *Bottomline is that there should not be any two posts with the same subject line & subject line should be as relevant as possible.* Members may follow numbering of Id requests like DDMMYY+ Initials+ Sl.No. (if more than one on same day) to avoid any confusion, clubbing of mails with same subject line on the Google group, better linking in Efloraofindia database etc. For example if I post an Id request, it will be like ''For Id 060408JM1’’, 060408JM2 etc., in case it is not like ''Is it Bombax ceiba (Semal)?'' (this is much better & recommended). This is to facilitate that no two subject lines are same. However, members may follow other methods to ensure that no two subject lines are exactly identical. *One may post two to three Id requests a day for better attention & feedback*.” You can see Detailed & Brief posting guidelines at https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/posting-guidelines."; Thanks and Regards Giby On 12 February 2012 23:00, Alfred John <[email protected]> wrote: > Subhajyoti Roy Cooch Behar ID please 5.6.2011 Buxa Tiger Reserve > ,West Bengal Herb Reddish flower no smell > -- GIBY KURIAKOSE PhD Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), Royal Enclave, Jakkur Post, Srirampura Bangalore- 560064 India Phone - +91 9448714856 (Mobile) visit my pictures @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/giby
