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 id....such 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! On Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at 1:44:33 AM UTC+1 Dr Pankaj Kumar wrote: > I say again, please remember that this genus has lianas too.
