Recent findings that the species *A. korupensis* has potential anti-AIDS activity had led to interest in this genus.

Sizes often get mixed up when we have photographs with different magnification.

[efloraofindia:64667] Euphorbiaceae week write up.
I am sure most of the members have read the nicely written details about the family Euphorbiaceae by Rashida ji[efloraofindia:64293] I would like to highlight some important characters of this family. It is a Large and extremely variable family : It shows a great range in vegetative as well as floral structures. The inflorescence in *Euphorbia *and related genera like *Chamaesyce* is .first branching usually racemose. .subsequent branching is cymose. ..The partial inflorescence is a *Cyathium* which appears as a single flower.(Seen in Rahida ji's write up.) (I urge members to post some additional close ups of this; if they have any) .THERE ARE OFTEN NO PETALS AND SEPALS. THE BRACTS ARE PETALLOID AND SHOWY COLOURED. .The male flower is represented by just an androecium having only pedicel stamen and anthers. While the female flower has only pedicel ovary style and stigma. I have compiled this info. and sharing with the group esp. for those non botanist members who may not be knowing this; as the conventional visible flowers are not seen in some of the genara from Euphorbiaceae when one is searching flowers in nature.

As you may be aware, Cissus quadrangularis also has cylindrical and flattened stems (perhaps under cultivation?) in addition to the normal 4-angled stems. I guess the flat-stemmed form was recently described as new species (citation needed!). I think your plant is a form of C.quadrangularis with cylindrical stems. But this needs confirmation.

Re: [efloraofindia:64689] Re: PLEASE ID FERN
Here are the guidelines which are available on the following link: https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix?hl=en This not only helps us help you in a better way, but also helps us maintaining a proper database of all your as well as other's contributions of plant pics. I hope you will follow these for postings from now onwards. HAPPY POSTING. Regards Pankaj Efloraofindia helps members to interact with each other about our trees, shrubs, herbs etc. in our surroundings elsewhere in India, mainly by posting pictures, information, identity etc. This also serves as a database for future reference. We also compile the data posted on the group (called Efloraofindia Database, currently having around 4200 plants on 30/9/10- which is like an e-book), which one must see under file section at home page http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix. Feel free to post your questions, observations, notes etc. on Indian Flora. Please observe the following guidelines while posting: 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- Height/Length- Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- Inflorescence Type/ Size- Flowers Size/ Colour/ Calyx/ Bracts- Fruits Type/ Shape/ Size Seeds- Other Information like Fragrance, Pollinator, Uses etc.- 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. 2. No restriction of format number on postings for posting of identified plants. 3. Please post pictures as attachments, discuss the subjects etc. relating to Indian Flora as an e-mail to indiantreepix@googlegroups.com, which is the main focus of this group. Photographs of flowers for identification should have a few well developed leaves, and if possible also fruits. Avoid posting anything which violates copyrights of others. Only individual members will be responsible not the group for any copyright violations. Try to furnish the inf. yourself (if possible) or from Wikipedia stating its link or provide suitable links etc. 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. 5. Each attachment max.150 KB. But one can have many attachments to illustrate different aspects of a tree/plant. But one has to be cautious not to post unnecessary pictures as far as possible. One has to re-size one's pictures to say max. upto 800 by 600 pixels at 72 DPI with quality settings of say 5 to 10 to bring it upto a max. of 150 KB in Photoshop as per group guidelines for posting. Links are to be avoided as far as possible as attachments are allowed. To re-size in Microsoft Photo-editor, which is available in most Window based computers: Open your picture in Microsoft Photo Editor. Select Image-- Resize select width of say 800 pixels under width units (height sets itself), Click on OK. Select File-- Save as, choose file name as … click on save button. Now file is ready for web use. It is much reduced in size. If, it’s still more than 150 KB, it can be reduced within 150 Kb by selected width of say 700 pixels or less instead of 800 pixels. Similar procedure can be followed in other picture processing software. 6. Separate flowers/ plants etc. to be posted in a separate mail for better response, linking, avoiding confusion etc. 7. Scientific or Common names to be given in the subject as far as possible or like Is this Bombax species? or Is it Semal? etc. 8. If you reply to a posting, your message can be sent to the whole group (by clicking on ‘Reply to all’) or just to the author (by clicking on ‘Reply’). If the reply is only of interest to the author or is personal, then use ‘Reply’, otherwise it has to be 'Reply to all'. Plain 'Thank you'/ 'Welcome' mails has to be sent by clicking at 'Reply' only not by 'Reply to all'. All members are requested to either ‘Reply’, 'Reply to all' or ‘Forward’ at the bottom of the mail (Don't use other methods), so that links/ messages/ mails don’t break off. Due to this we are not able to link messages properly on Efloraofindia Database along with other problems. 9. Numbering for Id requests- 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)?''
