Re: [efloraofindia:113652] Re: Eclipta prostrata ? from Hooghly 15-04-12 SK

Thank you very much Sir for all these informations on this plant.

It helped me in various ways -

1) Books are of little use : while going through the text book 'Plant
Groups' for the ID of this plant i noticed that the Bengali name given to
this plant was mentioned as KESUTTI. But your mail confirms that it is
KESHUT, the name we are familiar with.

2) Very little info on medicinal properties : i was only aware of its use
in hair care. Didn't know its other uses.

3) Vernacular names : now i know that KESHUT BHRINGRAJ are names of the
same plant.

Regards,

Surajit

Bhringaraj -
In the *Tamil* tradition of Siddha medicine the plant is used for many
diseases . In *ayurvedic* medicine, the leaf extract is considered a
powerful liver tonic, rejuvenate, and especially good for the hair. A black
dye obtained from *Eclipta prostrata* is used for dyeing hair and
tattooing. *Eclipta prostrata* also has traditional external uses, such
as for athlete's foot, eczema and dermatitis, and on the scalp to address
hair loss; the leaves have been used in the treatment of scorpion stings.
It is used as anti-venom against snakebite in China and Brazil (Mors,
1991). It is reported to improve hair growth and color (Kritikar and Basu
1975 and Chopra *et al.* 1955)

Dear members,

It's heartening to state again that *Efloraofindia is the largest

messages so far membership currently more than 1840 nos.

The Efloraofindia website has now been updated upto 31st March'12 along
with completion of resurfacing work upto this date.* *Threads from
22.3.11 to 29 Feb.’12 could not updated as I am unable to go to old threads
threads quickly due to changed settings of new google groups in efi.* **It
has the largest database on net on Indian Flora with pictures of more than
6500 species.** *You can see it at any time at
https://sites.google.com/site/**efloraofindia/homehttps://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/home.
Members should add this link in their favourites give species’ links from
this while posting or replying in a thread as lot of discussed data is
already available here. This will also help the site move up in search
results.

Intent of this website is compilation of all the posts on
'efloraofindia' e- group along with providing other details so that it’s
useful to all concerned as all the data about a particular species will be
available under a single head *easily searchable*. However,
correctness of data/ identification in the efloraofindia (earlier
indiantreepix) links is dependent on the members’ inputs in that particular
link. Therefore, errors/ mistakes cannot be ruled out- everyone is
requested to point them out for corrections by sending an e-mail to
itpm...@googlegroups.com. Efloraofindia e-group members can add
comments about it after 'signing in' at the bottom of the page.

What is more important is that thousands of observations of hundreds of
our members (many of which one will not find documented anywhere) are
available here easily searchable through general web searches as well as
search in the efloraofindia. And these are going to increase with every
passing day. These original observations will be a treasure trove will a
delight to lot of people.

With the pace at which new species are being added to our database, it
should become the premier resource for taxonomic research in India. As the
data is multiplying, we need more volunteers to take up this work. Details
can be seen at https://sites.google.com/site/**efloraofindia/volunteers-

Kudos thanks to the moderators, experts other members who are
rendering selfless service on the group made this endeavor possible for
the benefit of everyone.

Re: [efloraofindia:113671] seedpod : Bauhinia x blakeana from Hooghly

Such reports often appear but one is not sure whether the person is talking
about the real B. x blakeana or some cultivar of B. variegata which also
has larger flowers with five stamens and broader petals, and does show
variation in colour.

 Sir,

 Thank you for drawing my attention to the fact that *B.* *blakeana* is a
 sterile plant. I also read, in January, about the sterile flowers of *B.
 blakeana* in wikipedia and other websites.

 But there is a discussion at - http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/53664/ 
 where
 someone claims that it bears seedpod. Again there is an image claiming to
 be seedpod of the same plant -
 http://www.hear.org/starr/images/image/?q=030702-0067o=plants

 So, if it is not the *B. x blakeana* then my earlier post (
 https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/bauhinia$20x$20blakeana/indiantreepix/2fer1UHmLTI/X2wqPw3W38kJ)
  should
 also be some other species, might be *B. variegata*.

 As far as I know Bauhinia x blakeana is a hybrid propagated vegetatively.
 It does not set seeds.

 Your tree must be some thing different.

Dear Surajit ji and Nidhan ji
This is neither G. rotundifolium (now known as G. elegans, which has hooked
hairs on fruits but leaves are 3-nerved) nor G. acutum (which has smaller
leaves and smooth fruits). This one should be Galium aparine.

Re: [efloraofindia:113679] Seeking tips for macro photography

Thanks Satish ji for valuable tips.
I am slowly learning to get better and better results with tips from
friends and trying different options. I was mostly using Aperture priority
option. While on trip my son suggested fully auto feature, manual focus and
flash. It worked well. The flash pops up whenever needed, and I am getting
better results when keeping object at reasonable distance, say 40-60 cm.
Once I bring it nearer say 30-35 cm, I have to hold the camera with both
hands to make it steady, otherwise if I hold the object in one hand and
camera in another hands, it shakes when I click.
   One thing I have known that Canon 550D  and 100 mm macro are good
combination, only I have to understand them better.

 You have shared the same problem as I had when I purchased the same macro
 lens.
 Initially I also thought that life is easy for macro photography with this
 lens. It is not fully true.
 1) Small Aperture(2.8 or 3.2 etc.) will keep only a part of the large
 flower like anther in focus while the flower becomes blur.
 2) If the aperture setting is high say 15 or more all parts of the flower
 will be in focus including some surroundings but to get adequate light the
 shutter will remain open for a longer time and one can't keep the hand
 steady for that long and the end result is burred pictured if the camera is
 hand held. To prevent this you need to use the flash(Accepting some of its
 limitations)
 OR
 If light is bright and good say a sunny bright morning and actual sun rays
 not falling on flowers. You can get good depth accepting Aperture of 5.6 or
 4.5 getting a reasonable shutter speed to prevent hand shake(and flower
 shake due to wind)
 This macro lens is a telephoto lens and one has to go away from the object
 to get it into the field of vision.
 I hope I have shared what I do with same lens as you are using.
 Tripod is not practical in most field visits though it may be ideal.

Thanks a lot sir for the images. Yes yours are hairy and hence they should
be actually Spiranthes australis and not Spiranthes sinensis. Yours labels
are already correct :).
But many treat them as synonym which is wrong. Me and Sid are looking for
both, may be we have both in India.

[efloraofindia:113691] Most matured person on this Group: my vote Dr. Pankaj Sahni

Dear friends
We have just returned from a five day trip to Nainital, Bhimtal, Kasauni,
Chakodi, Almora and other places, and really enjoyed the trip. Here we for
the first time met and had the pleasure of company of our member Mrs.
Promila Chaturvedi, who at the age of 72 carries the rare combination of
great love for nature, environment awareness, great social worker,
adjustment to prevailing situation and great entertainer. We all loved her
company.
A few months ago I, perhaps because of a small lapse by Garg ji, was a
party to reading discussion among moderator Group (I was supposed to be out
of this discussion, but got included in the mailer list by chance) for
giving a suitable title to me. I enjoyed every bit of discussion, and love
and regard shown by the members, keeping silent at the same time.
In last three years I have seen the evolution of this group. Thanks
largely to the Group of our highly refined members, Garg ji, Dinesh ji,
Satish ji, Yazdy ji, Mani ji, Prashant ji, Neil ji and others, any
aberrations in the Group are tackled with utmost competence, very necessary
for the success of any group.
 It is always heartening to see how your younger colleagues evolve into
highly competent scientists/workers, learn to handle tough situations and
attain success in life. I have been greatly impressed by the conduct and
progress of professional botanists Ritesh ji, Tanay, Balkar ji, Giby ji,
Nidhan ji, and others,  great love for plants by Alok ji, Surajit ji and
others, but one person who has impressed me by his evolving into the most
matured person over last 2-3 years is Dr. Pankaj Sahni, who in recent
months has always involved himself whenever any small or major problem
arises, and fortunately handled such situations in most competent manner.
My solutes to Pankaj ji. We enjoy small pleasant exchanges and digs at each
other, very necessary for healthy atmosphere, earlier largely restricted to
me and Tanay.
 I wish more and more young members follow such good examples and make
this group a learning and enjoyable experience.
