Re: Fwd: [efloraofindia:51186] Re: ID request-181010-PKA1
It is good for me that this flower came under discussion. I spent hours yesterday in sorting out some Campanula species. Prashant's plant is, I think, Campanula pallida var. pallida (Syn: Campanula colorata). According to Flora of Pakistan, flowers of Campanula pallida var. pallida are purple to light purple. It should be the same as what is there on FOI (the link posted by Prashant). We found this plant again at Dhanaulti, this month. Gurcharan ji's flower is, I think, Campanula pallida var. tibetica, which, according to Flora of Pakistan, has bluish-white or pale-blue flowers. I have seen this plant in Nainital. Critical comments are needed, for me to be confident.

Great idea sir. Looking forward to it and will try to contribute though I am no expert. Regards, Sandhya On Oct 18, 1:10 am, Gurcharan Singh singh...@gmail.com wrote: Dear members Balkar ji started a focus on members of members of family Convolvulaceae. This was followed up by a weekend focus on Cucurbits, which gave us a good insight into the diversity within the group. After discussion within the moderator group it has been decided to observe a monthly week, in the first week of every month starting with Monday (on whatever date it comes) and ending with Sunday, when we will discuss a particular group, even the species already in the database and and members will upload their photographs of identified as well as unidentified plants of that group. Considering the diversity and size of various taxa, the focus group can be a Family, a group of families, a genus, or a subgroup within the family having at least 100 species reported from India, but not more than 500, so that the group can be covered adequately. It has been decided to have the November week (starting with First November, which incidentally falls on Monday) focus on Apocynaceae (including Asclepiadaceae). Dr. Balkar Singh ji will be the coordinator for this episode. December week will focus Grasses (the group inspite of being very large, is given episode in light of the fact that very few members are generally well versed with grasses) to be coordinated by Dr. Ritesh Kumar Chouodhary ji, January, 2011 week will focus Vegetables and Fruits, to be coordinated by Dinesh Valke ji. Members are requested give their suggestions regarding future episodes, and volunteer to coordinate the group of their choice.

Re: Fwd: [efloraofindia:51222] Re: ID request-181010-PKA1
Dear Tabish, I agree with u . In fact my latest post agrees well with FOI. But the initial post of this thread with light pink flowers were of visibly smaller in size as compared to my latest posts. Also the leaves were much more hirsute, bit thicker, stems and calyx more hairy as compared to latest post. Probably these might just be variation due to altitude variation etc. and all of these could be Campanula colorata (Campanula pallida var. pallida) as mentioned by u and Dr Gurcharan Singh ji. Thanks to yourself, Dr Gurcharan Singh ji, Dr Pankaj Kumar ji for this useful discussion. Its a learning experience for people like us. regards Prashant On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 10:03 AM, Tabish tabi...@gmail.com wrote: Prashant, This does look like Camapnula colorata (Campanula pallida var. pallida) to me, unless you mention a disagreeable size.

But there are times when ovary is placed inside a cup shaped thalamus with petals and sepals at the margins of the thalamus, then the ovary is called Semi inferior. In inferior ovary, thalamus surrounds the ovary completely and petals and sepals are placed on the top. Pankaj -- *** TAXONOMISTS GETTING EXTINCT AND SPECIES DATA DEFICIENT !!
