devi: since you are very cooperative and willing to go back etc i offer you my personal thoughts here.
id is not magic, its a systematic looking at diagnostic features to arrive at a working hypothesis, better the pictures that are sharp in focus show the diagnostic criteria better and quicker the process there is a lesson to be learned n this case, we still do not know what it is... only guesswork so... 1: known entity read up or remember diagnostic features of any plant that you are interested in and take pictures accordingly 2: unknown identity its habit and habitat leaves , both sides, and see if can see trichomes or hairs, then try to show them flowers face and side views complete pedicals, peduncles, subtening appendages if any if inflorescence a complete inflorescence, how its growing, its pattern if buds are seen several buds if fruits complete view sideways, its attachment to the twig, and include a sizing item in at least one picture, like a ruler, a pen, camera cap ,. or your finger as a last resort, often we have nothing handy or are in a hurry. if a tree...include the stem, bark etc if a shrub, entire shrub etc etc when you have even ten minutes to hone your skills in this direction go to this link... https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/indiantreepix its this group ... and type any of these peoples name, you choose and look at their pictures by observing pictures taken by Dinesh Valke, Anurag Sharma (who did a lot of field work.) Prashant Awale, and Satish Phadke, and Pankaj Kumar . to name few they all dont use fancy cameras, Anurag used a small handheld point and shoot, Prashant uses something handy also. you will do well good luck usha di On Sat, Sep 22, 2018 at 6:23 AM, Devi Nair <tcld...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you , Ushadi. > > As I have mentioned this plant is different from the one I had sent > earlier although it is from the same area.
