 I have had the privilege of reviewing Ralf Knapp's new Taiwan fern book for
the next Indian Fern Journal - it will knock one out when one sees it!
Superb photos, comments and keys, many of them also species that are present
in the Indo-Himalaya etc.  It might be worth making an a small paper of
comparison and comments on a few things that don't seem to be quite the same
as what we call or called them here - because higher altitude Taiwan is very
closely related floristically to the Himalaya - via the stepping-stone
migration route along the series of mountain ranges across south China.
Anyway, that's something we can think about.
I do hope that within a few years we may have a similar photo book for the
Indian subcontinent, too - Dr. Kholia and myself have been putting photos
together for it for some years and hope to make a sort of
photographic-plus-taxonomic Census-List, in memory of the late Dr. R.D.
Dixit.  But we both need more time in hand - and it would be great if we
could have a co-author to help photograph in South India and Andhra Pradesh?
All the best,
Chris Fraser-Jenkins (still in Kathmandu so far!).

Fern Allies of Taiwan
To: indian-fe...@yahoogroups.com

**

Dear all,

After seven years of studying pteridophytes in Taiwan I succeeded in
completing my book, a not for profit project. It introduces a large variety
of 729 taxa on this rather small island.

As this forum is not only addressing the Indian subcontinent, but as well
other neighbouring regions, I would like to share this information with all
of you. From past discussions, literature study of Drs. Fraser-Jenkins and
Khullar, I can see an interesting overlap of both floras.

Below are some links concerning the book. Furthermore, I will attach a
checklist of accepted pteridophyte taxa (containing two more taxa which have
been added past the editorial deadline for the book: Tectaria dubia and
Cyrtogonellum caducum).

Feel free to address questions and comments.

Ralf Knapp

 Fern Allies of Taiwan
 To: indian-fe...@yahoogroups.com


 **


 Dear all,

 After seven years of studying pteridophytes in Taiwan I succeeded in
 completing my book, a not for profit project. It introduces a large variety
 of 729 taxa on this rather small island.

 As this forum is not only addressing the Indian subcontinent, but as well
 other neighbouring regions, I would like to share this information with all
 of you. From past discussions, literature study of Drs. Fraser-Jenkins and
 Khullar, I can see an interesting overlap of both floras.

 Below are some links concerning the book. Furthermore, I will attach a
 checklist of accepted pteridophyte taxa (containing two more taxa which have
 been added past the editorial deadline for the book: Tectaria dubia and
 Cyrtogonellum caducum).

 Feel free to address questions and comments.

 Ralf Knapp

Re: [efloraofindia:75365] eFI Man of the July'11- Sh. Gurucharan Singh

Madhuri ji
Don't protest so early, otherwise who will entertain us with nice stories,
anecdotes, lighthearted comments, etc.
We already have a routine of uploading My best photograph of the Year
uploaded by most members in the month of December, followed by a compilation
of these by Satish Phadke ji in the month of January-February. If all
members are willing we may increase frequency to more than one (say twice in
year; four times in year; or monthly-though I fear there may not be enough
photographs every month).

There can be another option. Every month we select best photograph uploaded
by a member. For this we can do voting on say first three days of the month
(for selection of preceding month). Any nominated member (say Madhuri
ji/Ushadi) can compile and declare result on say 5th of every month.
Please give a thought to above suggestions. We should find ways to awaken
sleeping members, and make awakened members more active.

Sir ji
Aap samze nahi.
All your ideas accepted , appreciated. I have seen compilation from Satishji 
too.
Point is celebration of your winning along with other four. Generally how we do 
celebration? Come togather and give a party, cut cake go for a picnic, 
hotelling etc. All this is not possible in this situation.
Soo  celebration to be done by you 5 winners (only) by sending the 
photograph of your beloved plant. Not best photograph.
Can you get the diff in your suggession and mine? Waiting, waiting and waiting!

 H!h!
 Congrats congrats!
 Time to celebrate sir ji!
 Balkar ji,Gibi ji, Ushadi ji, HS ji. You r in next line of celebration
 among the top five.
 Sooo?
 What is your idea of celebration?
 All of you should sent one best shot of your beloved plant?
 I know it is difficult to select one among all we love.
 But anyway you all will be repeated over months to come, along with
 Dineshji, Gargji himself, Pankaj ji, Tanay, Nabha ji , Mani ji, Vijayshankar
 ji, neil ji, and few more. Sir ji may be a permanent member.
 So you all will have ample of time to celebrate the lovely ones.
 S! Waiting.

 Dear friends,
 From this month onwards, we start eFI Man/ Woman of the Month.

 For July'11, this goes to Singh ji for 307 messages already posted (upto
 28/7/11) as per details below ( I think he would have won the maximum number
 of times since he joined):
 http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/about?hl=en_IN

 Next closest is Balkar ji with 207 messages. And other substantial
 contributors are Giby ji, Usha di  Hemson (Alfred) ji being among top five.

 hotelling etc. All this is not possible in this situation.
 Soo celebration to be done by you 5 winners (only) by sending the

 Madhuri ji
 Don't protest so early, otherwise who will entertain us with nice stories,
 anecdotes, lighthearted comments, etc.
 We already have a routine of uploading My best photograph of the Year
 uploaded by most members in the month of December, followed by a compilation
 of these by Satish Phadke ji in the month of January-February. If all
 members are willing we may increase frequency to more than one (say twice in
 year; four times in year; or monthly-though I fear there may not be enough
 photographs every month).

 There can be another option. Every month we select best photograph uploaded
 by a member. For this we can do voting on say first three days of the month
 (for selection of preceding month). Any nominated member (say Madhuri
 ji/Ushadi) can compile and declare result on say 5th of every month.
 Please give a thought to above suggestions. We should find ways to awaken
 sleeping members, and make awakened members more active.

Re: [efloraofindia:75392] Re: Some suggestion regarding doing Botany

2011-07-29 Thread formpejaver

Sorry could not write for long.
In Univ of Mumbai when you have to do graduation in science you have to take 
admission for B.Sc. Course in any college affiliated to Univ and attend the 
college regularly. We don't have correspondance course in all sc subjects. 
Though we have distance education B. Sc. course for IT and comp.
Unless you do your B.Sc. You can't take admission for M.Sc. Whether by papers 
or research. So Ph. D. Is next to it.
But just aquiring Ph. D. Does not mean you have lot of knowledge or you have 
gained it. What I feel is, you felt like doing Ph. D. To get knowledge. 
Actually in the above mentioned courses you will waste (?) Your 3+2+3(?) =8 yrs 
further.   Instead my suggestion will be diff. You can do small courses to 
acquire basic knowlege of Botany as from BNHS, or UNIV of Mumbai distance 
education course of tree appreciation, horticulture and gardening, even it is 
in our college.
And study on your own once you know basic terminologies. Wikipedia, google and 
best is eflora which will help you to understand better.
Focus on some aspect of Botany , collect data and can publish your papers in 
research journals. 75% people on eflora who send best photographs and perfect 
ids are not botanists but are engineers, doctors, dentists, comp engineers, 
zoologists etc ect. And they contribute equal to botanists on the group and 
even write best refered books on flora 
So for getting knowledge Ph.D is not must. Hence I said why waste(?) Time? 
Start studying.
Some courses on ecology are available for distance learning from Delhi.
Best of Luck.

There is no distant education programme for BSC/MSC degree in botany and
there cannot be one in near future too. This is because a science subject
requires practicals in laboratories as of now, (almost 50% grading is on
practical -laboratory work).
If you already have MSC degree (botany), you can try entrance  examinations
for PHD in any university. If you get through, the PHDs can be carried out
as a full scholar or part (from working away from the guide's dept)
depending on rules of university and guide's choice.
Mumbai univ and Pune univ both have MSC by research (although it is not
common). But in both, some coursework is necessary, and a guide and host
institute are a must.
Only distance education course at the moment in field botany is at  BNHS.
Another weekly taught course is at ARI Pune

Aparna

   Story story:
   there is actually a park called Ganja park in Kolkata...
   ITS for real... wikimapia and even google has Maps showing
   its exact
   location...

   when growing up we had to walk on the footpath along this
   park to get
   to
   Jadubabu bazzar for daily vegetables and fruits...
   my parents used to send our nanny and/ or the driver to
   walk behind
   us,
   so that we could walk independently yet be protected from
   the local
   inhabitants
   of this park: Ganja Park (Kolkata)

    (( look up these urls:http://wikimapia.org/8005943/Ganja-Park
   and

 http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=enrlz=1G1GGLQ_ENIN342um=1ie=U...)
  ).

   Now its all sanitized and old folks walk there and children
   are
   reported to play there...
   not a single ganja leaf to be seen or had , as per the
   local
   authorities...

As it grows wild at many places this may be the case
   too.
I have never spotted this in wild.
 I was suspecting the prior theory because few years
   back one hospital servant had planted this in open campus
   area of one hospital. The ward boy was suspected to be
   addict to something but nobody was sure until one day one of
   the patient's relative spotted the plant and alerted the
   doctor asking him who has planted it?he further asked him to
   keep watch and told him about the dangerplant. Ultimately
   the wardboy was caught red handed one day and was discharged
   from his duties.
