Re: [itpmods:16845] Fwd: [efloraofindia:424213] MYSTERY SHRUB 23rd Feb 2022...SS

[Pankaj Kumar]

I usually do not check mails attached with the images and then I very often
miss if there is already a name attached below. But I read this and hence,
decided to respond to it.

Two things:
1. With what you assumed to be enough for identification, even people at
Wakethrust couldn't reach a solid conclusion. I am just a small potato.
2. Having said all those things about yourself, you are underestimating
yourself if you think you are not a botanist. Once while on a hike with a
legend, I was told that people are born to do botany, irrespective of them
being trained or not trained. Few years back one girl sent me a picture of
a plant which looked like an orchid. I kept that for 5 years thinking it to
be a new genus because I knew it did not match with any orchid I knew.
There was nothing I could do with a single pic and I asked her to find it
again but in vain. And then one day someone sent the image of the same
plant from Vietnam. I asked my Vietnamese friend to dissect it, only to
realise that it was not an orchid but a ginger. But for 5 years that plant
remained in my head as an orchid and when she replied back to the girl she
was so surprised that I was still looking for an id for her plant after so
many years. And we became very good friends.

Best of luck.
Pankaj

Thank you..I am EXTREMELY /ACUTELY aware of this.
Sadly on a cruise the landing may be just 2 hours..time is precious.
I want to see as much as possible..the landscape, scenery, the birds  as
well as the new to me plants.
I never have the luxury  of spending 10 mins recording each plant...nor do
I ever carry a note book.
My tiny point and shoot Canon Ixus  camera is all I ever use.

I have been VERY fortunate to visit several very remote places and know I
will never get a 2nd chance to revisit.
Even if I did the chance of finding the plant again is remote.
Which is why I try to be very observant and to take images to aid with id
later.
I call it my homework...I take it very seriously.
I hate to misname any of my pictures.
Sometimes I take more pics but they are out of focus and have to be
deleted..everything is a rush on these magical holidays.

I am very aware of taking images to show  details . to aid with idsuch
as alternate v opposite leaves/flowers./fruits/bark..any other features
that back in UK will help me to add an accurate name.
If plants are vines I take pics of tendrils or twisted stems.
To my very best recollection this was a free standing shrub/young tree.

My 5 images above I feel are not too bad. ..
they show alternate leaves,  the shape of the leaves, the length of the
stalks, the veins, the leaf texture above and below,  the fruits, the stem
, the glands.
I thought this would be so easy to get an instant id.
Many identifications can be done from a lot less.

At home it is easy..if I need more pics I can pop back to have a closer
look.

I am at heart a gardener with a passion for plants.
I try to add to my knowledge on my travels.
I do not profess to be a botanist...which is why I love forums where people
far cleverer than me give freely of their time to assist.
In turn I can often help other with identifications.
Every day is a school day!
