Re: [efloraofindia:156040] Let us make interactions enjoyable
Yes Sir, Everybody should agree upon these pertinent points. The very purpose of interaction is lost, if it takes slightest turn from the intention it is floored for..each and every member on this great forum is equal in terms of commitment and participation..and is given due respect and honour..we are lucky to have a very wide spectrum of nature lovers, expert scientists...and hopefully the atmosphere in this forum will always be enjoyable and cheering and each of us will always love to interact and share...thanks..

Aptly pointed out sir. I feel that many a times we tries to reach to the identity of a plant (represented by pics only here) without sufficient morphological evidences since specimen is not in our hand. Most authoritative identification is always based on the study of plant specimen and literature. particularly in case of the genera where species are hard to differentiate (example-* Anaphalis* species). This point should be kept in mind while identifying our pics.

Very true Rawat ji. In fact you must have noticed that many of us use sentences like I hope, I think even if we may be 99 % sure about identification, but luckily good close ups take us much further than first hand study. Let us make best use of caution, but also be happy that success rate of identifications on this group if more than 90 percent, and we also reassess our old identifications frequently. All this would not have been possible without our dedicated experts. The minimum we can do is show respect and gratification to these experts, especially in light of the fact that they are providing this service, in hundreds of identifications .

Surajit, It's always good to keep an open mind on the id until the very end especially in our / the circumstances. involucre A whorl of bracts subtending a flower or flower cluster; the calyx-like structure at the base of a capitulum, as in the Asteraceae. I hope you find the definition of involucre easy to understand. Armed with this definition you must tell us your where and in which image of yours the involucre is seen! Have not had the time to read the article you have suggested - time is a very precious commodity. Be rest assured I will follow-up on this thread and make my own attempts to nail the id.

This way you will 'learn how to fish rather than be given / fed a fish'. By the way, I do the same when I do not know something.

Bailey (Manual of cultivated Plants) described B. longiscapa DC., considered as synonym of G. linearis (Thunb.) Druce in Hortus third as well as in Plant List.

[efloraofindia:156095] Re: Pisonia alba flowering in Mumbai
Thanks Viplav ji for posting the flowers of P.alba.Yes, it is very rare.This plant is very very common in Chennai also, rather very popular shrub / a small tree. Most commonly used for hedges (live fence) alternatively with red Acalypha, which gives a stunning effect to the onlookers.I have never seen it in flowering, though I was very keenly observing the plant in around Chennai for more than 20 years ! Though I knew that it would flower, I was not fortunate enough to see the plant in flowering in Chennai. Let me try out now in Mysore city. It is called *sule sappu *in Kannada and *lachaikottei* in Tamil. The leaves are used for cooking in Chennai. The leaves have medicinal properties too (elephantiasis).
