Dear Satishji, The issue is not about photography (digital or otherwise or any other technology) but whether a photograph (the kind that commonly circulated on this list) is good enough for identification of Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Eriocaulaceae (I am at present and in the previous mails mainly talking about these complex families.. for which I included a warning clearly stating so). I have taken great care to choose the words I have used, and want to limit the discussion to these families only. For other families, i have been giving pointers as and when I could. I totally agree with Dr. Gurucharan ji, that one can keep giving suggestions for improvement in photos... (I already do that for many other taxa). But for these three families, I find it unlikely that people on this list will take the kind of photographs that are required for an accurate identification of the taxa up to species level in Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Eriocaulaceae. I would be most happy if I am proven wrong and someone surprises me by giving an excellent photo of nut ornamentation, or a complete set of pictures for a grass species or Eriocaulon species showing all characters mentioned in the key to id upto species level. Regards, Aparna
