I have been able to contact my bank from here but they need time to come up with new Cards/notes. Please, kindly lend me a sum of 3000euros [approximately $3450 us dollars] or any amount you can afford to lend me. I will refund you with interest upon my arrival back home.

[efloraofindia:68784] Ranunculus Week: Halerpestes sarmentosa
This plant lying unidentified at FOI website has been bothering me for a long time. Today I had a go at it, starting from the lead that plant has more than five petals, not typical of Ranunculus. I thought of taking help from eFlora website. Flora of Pakistan was not much help as it does not give any keys. I sifted through key in eFlora of China and narrowed down to two genera Halerpestes (5-10 petals) and Oxygraphis (13-15 petals), and finally to Halerpestes, and finally to H. sarmentosa (Adams) Kom. with rounded-reniform cordate leaves and crenate margins. The names is based on Ranunculus sarmentosus Adams. KEW Plant list treats Halerpestes sarmentosa (Adams) Kom as accepted name, whereas the Revision of Indian Ranunculus cites Ranunculus sarmentosus Adams as synonym of R. cymbalariae, from which I think it is different in leaf shape and form. http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/Unidentified/ http://tai2.ntu.edu.tw/taiwania/pdf/tai.2010.55.3.273.pdf http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-27102762 -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

Re: [efloraofindia:68785] Kalatope id al030511
Could be Lactuca dissecta, but as written earlier height of plant, diam. of head, its length are important for identification. For compositae the fruit size, its crown (pappus) where made of hairs (simple or branched) or scales, and body of fruit whether with narrowed neck or not, its length, and relative length of body and neck are very helpful. I am not asking non-botanists (and don't expect) to record these but if there is a good close up one fruit (achene) and naked head after the achenes have fallen off, it can always help. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
