Actually they are structures that was to trap insects inside it. It is very translucent and hence very bright inside. The insect gets trapped inside and then they are forced to come out from the two holes and while doing so they rub their body on the pollinia as well as stigma.

I know the thought came to me when I was compiling the description. Somehow I am poor in capturing barks and stems of trees.

I feel like contributing to this discussion. In the last days we are getting lots and lots of very good fotos posted by members. It is really a delight to see the fotos and know more about the plants. I did not count, but more or less to every foto there is at least one appreciation-mail and one thanks-mail. This increases the number of postings, good for statistics, but not so good, if one has limited time. I like reading the information but must see also the appreciation-mail and thanks-mail to reach the info-mails. Certainly appreciation is a good motivation. Perhaps one can express the appreciation for a few fotos in one mail and perhaps one can say thanks to all instead of thanking each individual in an individual mail. Again this is my personal opinion though other may differ. I feel happy when I get a shower of flowers rather than mail-pour bucketwise. Regards Nalini Am 30.09.2011 07:24, schrieb J.M.

Thanks Nalini ji for your views As for as thanking once is concerned I fully agree with you, you can thank all at the end of thread or after waiting for some time. But as far as appreciations are concerned, they are mostly confirmation of identification. Only a person who takes pains to photograph, process, and upload with lots of information knows how he/she feels if the mail goes unnoticed. Let us encourage the feeling of mutual encouragement that is so essential for the progress of our group. And as I wrote earlier also, there is always a delete button and Google provides us the facility of selecting all mails on a page, deselecting a few that need to be retained and press delete button. Further better such mails can always be skipped without reading. I mostly do it when it comes to especially trees from parts of India I am not familiar with. Every day I delete more than 100 mails from Facebook, and it never takes more than five minutes. My request let us encourage new positive developments in the group, -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

Thanks Nalini and and Gurcharan ji for opening out with your views Initially i was also of the opinion that too many Thank you messages are pouring and also getting counted in a total tally is not good for getting the numbers. Gurcharan ji has raised a valid point which I liked. Appreciation has essential part in every-bodies life. By just appreciating one can extract hidden talents and many unknown facts from many members esp. those who are reluctant to post. See the posts from those who joined recently. Some of them are posting plants which are ordinary or much discussed earlier still they got encouragemnt because of the IDs and responses. At the same time many members including me got the information of those plants esp garden plants.

But as far as appreciations are concerned, they are mostly confirmation of identification. Only a person who takes pains to photograph, process, and upload with lots of information knows how he/she feels if the mail goes unnoticed. Let us encourage the feeling of mutual encouragement that is so essential for the progress of our group. And as I wrote earlier also, there is always a delete button and Google provides us the facility of selecting all mails on a page, deselecting a few that need to be retained and press delete button. Further better such mails can always be skipped without reading. I mostly do it when it comes to especially trees from parts of India I am not familiar with. Every day I delete more than 100 mails from Facebook, and it never takes more than five minutes.

In the last days we are getting lots and lots of very good fotos posted by members. It is really a delight to see the fotos and know more about the plants. I did not count, but more or less to every foto there is at least one appreciation-mail and one thanks-mail. This increases the number of postings, good for statistics, but not so good, if one has limited time. I like reading the information but must see also the appreciation-mail and thanks-mail to reach the info-mails. Certainly appreciation is a good motivation. Perhaps one can express the appreciation for a few fotos in one mail and perhaps one can say thanks to all instead of thanking each individual in an individual mail.

Re: [efloraofindia:84995] Bauhinia roxburghiana
Satishji and to all Any chances of identification of Bauhinia on basis of leaves? OR should i wait for flowering!! As all the current plants i am coming across are without flowers (mostly), which is poising a problem for me, for identification!!!
