Satish ji
I fully agree with you, we should be distinguishing between our wild flora
and plants in cultivation. I had also mentioned in my earlier posts
desirability of mentioning the place, habitat and date on which plant was
clicked. This will help a lot in final compilation. There is, however, a
catch. Where as cultivated herbs, grown in beds or pota are easily
differentiated, trees and shrubs readily become part of landscapess and are
difficult to differentiate from natural flora. Same is also sometimes true
of self propagating perennials with bulbs are rhizomes. Some recent floras
do include these so that a user is able to identify any plant of that area.
I suggest we should mention clearly where that plant was growing, something
of its lication and surroundings. It will help a lot.
