Both this and other plant identified as P. moltkoides need to be relooked,
as typical Pseudomertensia should have erect corolla lobes (and not
spreading).

 Dear Saurabh,

 Kiran Srivastava mentioned to me that he had seen a treeswift nest some
 time ago and how very difficult it was to find it again each time he
 visited it even though it was right out in the open on a bare tree branch
 at some height.  I don't know why you and I hadn't thought of this species
 -- it's well known for its peculiar nest, a tiny minimal cup made of bark
 bits and small feathers glued with saliva to a branch.  This type of nest
 nicely supports the recent DNA work that demonstrates the long-held belief
 that treeswifts are closely related to true swifts (Apodidae), which build
 a very similar nest albeit in more sheltered situations.  Anyway, the
 treeswift adds one more example to your list of well-camouflaged nests of
 small birds built in bare trees.  Still, a very short list, and these
 species are truly exceptions among smallish birds in nest placement.  It's
 also interesting that the smallest herons, instead of building their nests
 out in the open as is typical for most members of the family, nest in dense
 bushes and trees.  And Cattle egrets, being sort of mid-sized, will nest
 colonially in bare trees but often hide their nests in leafy trees when
 they are breeding as single couples.

 I'm not sure I am reading you correctly, but I believe you mean to say
 that birds *do* change their nesting habits because of changes in
 weather, and that is certainly true.  The current global warming is
 producing major changes both in North America and in Europe, with many
 birds beginning to breed much earlier in the year than they used to.  For
 example, in the Rocky Mountains of the U.S., American Robins (actually a
 large thrush) arrive at their high-altitude breeding grounds two weeks
 earlier from spring migration than they did a few years ago, and go on to
 breed with the result that there is insufficient food for the young.  There
 are many examples of range expansion and even of movement into new habitats
 because of weather changes.  Birds are very labile when it comes to
 acceptable parameters for breeding; the photoperiod is just a rough
 indicator as shown by a temporary display in autumn of breeding behavior by
 North American birds that does not result in actual breeding because of the
 absence of certain stimuli.  It's all very interesting!

 Hans

 Dear Hans,

 Well, that's exactly my point. That's why I had to mention twice that a
 question like this has to be very specific for a group of birds or
 particular species. :)

  And, I don't know much about nidification of indian birds either despite
 of the fact that I get to see them everyday. :|

 Yes, Climate was a wrong choice of word. But I was probably thinking over
 a longer time and behaviour specific evolution to which the question
 sounded more related. I wanted to refer to the fact that even if there are
 changes in weather these birds wouldn't change their habitats or nesting
 habits by great extents over a short period. Perhaps, for the environmental
 factors that affect nest building, growth  development of chicks, molting
 in juveniles and young birds. Eg. Photoperiod

 Coming to the nests, I completely agree with you that most birds that
 nest in bare big trees are big enough, especially raptors to defend their
 nests. The nests themselves are so big that they can use all the extra
 space that bare trees offer. Also, yes.. they use twigs and sticks for
 their nests. But, smaller birds that may choose such sites as I said have
 amazingly well camouflaged nests. Recent ones I observed were Thick-billed
 Flowerpecker nesting on a bare tree with very few completely dry leaves
 just drooping. But, it nests in such a beautiful fashion, it takes one time
 to know it's a nest and not another dry leaf. Another was the Common
 Woodshrike which was seen nesting on a completely bare tree. It builds nest
 in shallow forks of  horizontal branches and is very well camouflaged.
 Weavers are a completely different story.

 By leaf litter I did not mean just leaves, however they are used by most
 Laughingthrushes for nesting for example (But as you said leafy
 surroundings). Small pieces of leaves, stalks, shafts, cotton (We get lots
 of silk cotton from silk cotton trees (deciduous) in this season here).
 After all, birds are superbly resourceful and can work well with abundantly
 available things.

 The need of better view, (for predators) of nest may not be certainly
 bothering big birds like Golden Eagle, but for smaller birds it may be of
 little greater importance especially when they wouldn't want to reveal
 their nests. I've observed how hesitant they are to enter, if you're near
 their nests.

 *Boraginaceae Week :: UD005  Heliotropium  arborescens

 **

 Heliotrope plants are a delightful bright violet flowered sweet scented
 short about 12 to 18 inches  suitable for border.


 In centuries past some herbalists used it to heal various inflammations,
 but  modern concerns with the alkaloids toxic to liver has put a damper on
 its use...

 but the scented beautiful flowers make it popular in the summer garden
 **


 The first two pictures are from very hot north american southwest...

 third picture from the north east in a border

 last two pictures are from a cultivar names 'Marine'... which is very
 popular now...


 Flowers can even be white...   could not put my hands on my pics right
 now...

Re: [efloraofindia:119153] Boraginaceae Week :: Trichodesma zeylanicum, Pune

Nice information with Pics

On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 7:24 PM, Satish Phadke drsmpha...@gmail.com wrote:

 *Trichodesma zeylanicum
 Please validate.
 *I was just checking for all the posts with subject line*  Trichodesma
 indicum.*
 As Dinesh ji said T.indicum and T.zeylanicum are very close and difficult
 to differentiate from each other.
 On careful searching I found important characters to differentiate
 Trichodesmas.
 1. Stamens included Corolla tube longer than lobes,
 lobes shortly acuminate, not recurved
 T.inaequale.
 1. Stamens exserted; corolla tube as long as, or shorter than lobes,
lobes acuminate, recurved
 
 2. Glandular spots on corolla lobes; calyx hastate or cordate
   T.indicum
 2. Glandular spots absent on corolla lobes; calyx rounded
   T. zeylanicum
 Considering the above characters esp the calyx is clearly not hastate
 here.As  against to this the plants posted as T.indicum by Dinesh ji
 Prashant ji and Nidhan ji clearly have hastate calyx more clearly seen in
 sideview..
 The pattern of dark tinge on the petals here is also different. I think my
 posted plant is T.zeylanicum.

Dear Neil Ji,

The stamen of your plant is too short for the real Syzygium
samarangense.  The leaves are OK for samarangense.  But the stamen is
more close to S. aqueum.  I think this is one of the intermediates
between both S samarangense  S aqueum.  I found at lest 8
intermediates.   Currently I am doing a molecular research to find out
the status of the intermediates.

 To: indiantreepix@googlegroups.com


 Dear all,
 It would be useful to every one to have a kind of mini lexique covering
 the basic words which can be found in plant names. Something like this:
 ASSAMESE:
 BENGALI :
 ENGLISH : 1.Leaf, 2. leaves, 3 flower, 4. fruit, 5. tree
 GUJARATI :
 HINDI :  1. , 2. फूल  phula, 3. , 4. फल  phala  5. पेड़ per
 KANNADA :
 MALAYALAM :
 MARATHI :
 NEPALI :
 ORIYA :
 PUNJABI :
 SANSKRIT :
 TAMIL : 1.,  2. இலைகள் ilaikal, 3 மலர் , 4. பழம் palam, 5. மரம் maram
 TELUGU :
 URDU :
 + Any other language.
 Basic colors as well or combinations such as red-leaved, green-leaved,
 blue-flowered, white-flowered etc.
 Your imagination is the limit. They must be name components that are
 common in plant names however.
 I leave this basic idea with you all.
 Thanks
 Mic

 Heliotrope plants are a delightful bright violet flowered sweet scented

 In centuries past some herbalists used it to heal various inflammations,
 but  modern concerns with the alkaloids toxic to liver has put a damper on
 its use...

 but the scented beautiful flowers make it popular in the summer garden

 The first two pictures are from very hot north american southwest...

 *Trichodesma zeylanicum
 Please validate.
 *I was just checking for all the posts with subject line*  Trichodesma
 indicum.*
 As Dinesh ji said T.indicum and T.zeylanicum are very close and difficult
 to differentiate from each other.
 On careful searching I found important characters to differentiate
 Trichodesmas.
 1. Stamens included Corolla tube longer than lobes,
 lobes shortly acuminate, not recurved
 T.inaequale.
 1. Stamens exserted; corolla tube as long as, or shorter than lobes,
lobes acuminate, recurved
 
 2. Glandular spots on corolla lobes; calyx hastate or cordate
   T.indicum
 2. Glandular spots absent on corolla lobes; calyx rounded
   T. zeylanicum
 Considering the above characters esp the calyx is clearly not hastate
 here.As  against to this the plants posted as T.indicum by Dinesh ji
 Prashant ji and Nidhan ji clearly have hastate calyx more clearly seen in
 sideview..
 The pattern of dark tinge on the petals here is also different. I think
 my posted plant is T.zeylanicum.

Dear Ushadi,
Infact that's the right way to photograph on Macro mode.
If all the pictures are taken in field then pl see the flower close up.
Background is completely blank. In small objects to bring out the details
this is the best method. On 400 ISO with 200 shutter speed photograph taken
with the use of flash on F 32. F 32 providing very good depth of field so
most of the picture is in sharp focus.
most of the pictures published in Macro Photography teaching books are
taken with the help of Tripod to get the maximum depth of field.
Regards.

Re: [efloraofindia:119187] Re: Boraginaceae Week: Adelocaryum sp. for ID

Yes Satyendra ji
Tripod is recommended for macro photography, but during last three months
that I have used it, I find it difficult to spare so much tome when you are
in field and have to grab more than 100 plants or so in different angles. I
manage (canon 550d and 100 mm macro) with holding my hands as stable as
possible to click close ups. I take multiple photographs, so that one or
two in focus can be short listed.

 Dear Chris:
 I am not a fern expert...not even a botanist...

 BUT I understand your frustration with misdiagnosis...

 BUT IN THIS  CASE it was not...

 original query maker had thought that perhaps it was c. falcatum... wanted
 the group's help hence was submitted I think...

 AND DR.  KHULLAR AND YOURSELF HAD BOTH CALLED IT

 Cyrtomium caryotideum...  the correct diagnosis , I take it

 ...

 It would help people like me if you tell us clearly what old chestnuts not
 to crack/look up for fern diagnosis

 Also could not have the spores naturalised from the potted ferns from the
 ferneries?  and taken hold somewhere else in India?

 A reply:
 I've just seen the comment that it may be C. falcatum - but please note,
 as long since published by Prof. Khullar and I and in much international
 literature, C. falcatum does NOT occur in India - it is a native of Japan
 and E. China - occasionally grown in pots in the old ferneries in S. India,
 but nowadays hardly so.  We have corrected this idea so many times! I think
 it better that people need to look up the authoritative literature before
 going back to the same old chestnuts!  Surely Khullar's W. Himalayan book
 and papers, at least, must be well known here?! (if not my book on
 taxonomic revision of 300 species). Becoming familiar with the main
 standard literature of the region is so very important and can't really be
 side-stepped merely by having photos identified for one.
  But I agree if people are not specialising in ferns it usefully
 saves time by having them determined for one.
  Best wishes,
Chris Fraser-Jenkins.

Cynoglossum furcatum is now known as C. zeylanicum. Yes it is closest
match, but the marginal rim of nutlets is very prominent in Dinesh ji's
plant.
