Dear Prashant,
Thank you for posting the 'Motiya' link. Satish ji - agree with you on the number of leaflets but I have seen several plants with 5 leaflets as well. The variation is indeed considerable. Thank you for your compliment. best regards Adittya ________________________________ From: Satish Phadke <[email protected]> To: Prashant Awale <[email protected]> Cc: Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]>; ushadi Micromini <[email protected]>; Dinesh Valke <[email protected]>; efloraofindia <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 4, 2012 12:10 PM Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:133772] Kas Week :: DV :: 28 SEP 08 - 0234 :: Dioscorea pentaphylla Dinesh ji Thanks for sharing this.
