Re: [efloraofindia:85431] Best Photograph of the month and best display of photographs in one upload
I am trying to add the nominations for best Pic and best set of pics. I have many to add and its getting tiring is my frank opinion. Due to fatigue I may refrain from adding more and inadvertently do injustice to some. I think this may happen to many. Thinking about this I feel the following 1.Can we have to sub emailids for eflora one as efloraofindia_bestpic efloraofindia_bestset 2. Whenever a member comes across a good pic/good set he /she should just forward it to the respective email addresses 3.The software development team I am sure can pick up all the necessary info from these forwarded msgs like date,subject line, from whom etc for analysis 4. If this is possible for the software development team the procedure will be much easier for the voter and also for statistical analysis team 5. The only problem will arise when we select best pic from a set I do not know how to solve this problem Regards Bhagyashri On Sun, Oct 2, 2011 at 9:49 AM, Balkar Arya balkara...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks a Lot Sir !!

Each member can nominate more than one photograph/set of photographs, there being no limit to the number of nominations a member can make. This decision has been taken for two reasons: 1. This being first month of this selection we do not know how many members will vote, and in case people vote for different photographs/sets, and we have several with single vote and none with more than one vote, selection would be impossible. 2. This month has seen unprecedented upload of high quality photographs and even I found impossible to select one, without ignoring others. With choice to nominate more than one, I think we can do better justice to all members with quality photographs. The one getting highest votes will be the winner in each category. So please go ahead and vote as many
Re: [efloraofindia:85433] Best Photograph of the month and best display of photographs in one upload
Madhuri ji The present system is most ideal one. You need not nominate all. Do it for the ones which you consider worth nominating. All different people nominate and the data goes into one file at the end of the month to collate. If we agree to your suggestion (in fact we had decided like that till Dinesh ji came to our rescue) and there are thousands of mail who will go through all mails to know every nomination, put them in one file. It may take 5-6 days for one man. In present situation the data goes into file simultaneously. Surely you won't like us to work for five days if the same thing can be done within half an hour.

Re: [efloraofindia:85450] Best Photograph of the month and best display of photographs in one upload
@Gurcharanji I am sorry that I have not been able to put across my point properly. I assumed that there is a software development team which manages efloraofindia group. Based on this assumption I proposed that they make a small software which would extract all the required info automatically in a matter of few seconds forget minutes. I had no intention or thought that someone type all this huge data. I was thinking how to save your time and make things easy for you. I agree that the system devised by Dineshji is excellent and ideal.

Re: [efloraofindia:85485] Best Photograph of the month and best display of photographs in one upload
Dear friends, It is good to note the frank opinion of Bhagyashri ji (aka Madhuri ji). My wanting to put the Google Forms was to save the immense and harrowing trouble that the coordinators would face. Specially because our group is very active !! Google Groups, and for that matter any of the online groups, are *facilities provided* by Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc ... there are different flavours too ... for instance, Facebook too has concept of Groups. But our group is already established with Google Groups. Since this Group activity is *not on a hosted site* there is is no role of software team who can help us with solutions. (I see that you are now aware of this point). Laymen like us will have to smartly make use of facilities provided by Google, or even other organization's, if it serves our purpose. To make it simpler, the form could have had multiple type-in fields. That is to say, if someone wants to nominate for one X person, Y number of best photographs, the form could be accordingly made. BUT, the difficulty again shifts to the coordinators. At the backstage, the data would get haphazardly populated ... that is, A person may put 1 entry, B may put 10, C may 3 .. and so on. To sort and collate will be again added work to the coordinators. Present solution is best suited to the nominator as well as the coordinator. BUT if every member insists, we will have to re-think (OR re-design the form) to make our efforts simpler. For this time, requesting everyone to come forward and cast at least single entry for each: Best Photograph and Best Set of Photographs. Regards.

Re: [efloraofindia:85535] Sida mysorensis
Thanks Bhagyashri ji and Dinesh ji. I agree with you Dinesh ji, our plants look different from each other. Thanks for bringing this discussion again, and sorry for the confusion. On closer look, your plant has flowers also on leafy, racemelike, axillary shoots ( http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2taxon_id=200013758), which I mistook for a branched inflorescence. So it is perhaps Sida cordata as earlier identified by you. My plant seems to be a form of S. mysorensis with solitary flowers. I have seen also the other form with 'branched' inflorescence, but both the plants have glandular hairs. Please do the needful, and let us hear from others, too.

Dear All: Gurcharanji and Dineshji I have looked at the forms a few times... and it a goof form... putting all data in one form which updates itself is a good thing... if all memebers had voted for 10 to 20 people I would be in for a long haul ... so these spreadsheets are good.. It ultimately would save a lot of effort... esp if everybody voted... as such it seems a few have voted for a few FOR any new venture there is a vetting period... like a pilot project... let this be our pilot project.. a spread sheet can always be changed, the formulas edited /amended etc... Another thing could be points system... every body would put a score of say 1 to 10 ... than adding up the points and averaging would be easy... I don't understand self nominating... every body likes their own baby... everyone thinks their own baby that they created is the most beautiful... whether the world agrees or not... But since Gurcharanji has agreed to it... I won't object, but thats a bit weird to my sensibilities... none of the world class camera clubs I have belonged to or still do, none has ever nominated himself or herself... even Ansel Admas never nominated himself... but ...times and people and country is different...anyway no matter... let it be... lets have this competition and then revisit the process, in a week' s time...

Organising the whole website and providing links to all mails in our archives is a job which only they could have done. Perhaps more and more people have to volunteer for numerous jobs of the Group like updating website, coordinating monthly episodes, resurfacing of mails, etc. Unfortunately not many people are coming forward for these responsibilities, with both Garg ji and Dinesh ji bearing all pressure of load. When I was on visit to Kashmir, the work of resurfacing suffered for two months, and I am now trying to cope up to make up the lag of uploading. With more and more people getting involved, the group can progress a lot. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

Its a vast subject also deals with chemistry types of nectar, cost of pollination, taxonomy of pollinators, floral visitors, nectar robbers, adaptations of flowers pollinators and much more...its a very interesting subject...and Giby is an expert in that.

Re: [efloraofindia:85554] Re: Guys, Can you please identify this species?
There is a possibility, due to the name and the colour of leaf. Whether it is 'Karu nochi' or 'Sen kathazhai' (Red Aloe vera), usually the plant material is not shown in full but in small, deformed pieces making id difficult or impossible. And usually some cosmetic work is done to the material to make it appear black or red in these cases. If you come across with someone selling 'karu nochi', pl try to post the pictures here for id.

[efloraofindia:85555] Re: Kigelia africana
It is most often found fallen on ground because the flowers bloom at night and bats pollinate it. And by the weight of these bats, the corolla usually fall off leaving the gynoecium on the floral stalk.
