Hello Dineshji,
Should you ever have opportunity to take any clear closeups of the
fully mature seeds, I am interested to correlate seed characteristics with
plant morphology , even though others have been not yet been successful at
this type of correlation.
I find that the seeds of M.umbellata subspecies umbellata are very
consistent in seed characteristics and resultant plant morphology...same is
true for M.umbellata subspecies orientalis and I am at a loss why others
are unable to see the consistencies...
regards,
Ron
