Dear Members, I have sorted the list provided by Satishji for the aspect of habitat. I am ataching the list here.

[efloraofindia:135597] Ropeway to Hemkund
Sorry, I have not been able to post any reply in Rajeshji's thread on this subject. Excuse me for starting a new topic. I feel that the ropeway will be a blessing in many ways and a disadvatage in some ways. 1. I have travelled in a similar ropeway at Auli and at many places outside India. They take you over canopies of forests which otherwise are never accessible. Some places even have canopy walkways to look at trees and birds. Rich forest at Genting Highland in Thailand beautufully stands in glory below the ropes. No doubt eating shacks and mule owners may lose their earning but anyway they mostly come up from plains. They will find an alternative soon. 2. Area surrounding walkway is more than filthy. All blame goes to people and eating shacks. This will improve to the benefit of plant explorers. A garbage dump from top in a valley will soon compete with surrounding mountains. Ropeway can prevent entry of non degradable waste. 3. The pylons for ropeway need very little space and this will in no way harm the flora. 4. Entrance to ropeway can stipulate strict action for plucking. In fact there can be better control on Brahmakamal with the ropeway. As such we must decry the aura around Brahmakamal. It is no way connected with celebrated Kamal, only the outer bracts have a resemblance and the dull inner flowers are toxic to inhale and can even cause fainting at that altitude. These plants are surviving inspite of a local ritual when thousands of inflorescences are plucked and worn as a crown in a festival. Plucking a flower (surely not justified) does not destroy the plant. 5. The mules graze on invasive plants such as polygonum and impatiens and several others. This keeps invasive plants under control. Their dung flows down with frequent rain and thus the walkway remains clean. The plants get the nutrients from the mule-dung. If due to ropeway the mules are totally stopped Hemkund flora will surely suffer due to proliferation of invasive plants. VOF has a ban on grazing. Since my first visit to VOF in 1997 the invasive plants have spread by 2 kms into the valley beyond the entrance footbridge. 6. Due to suuden gain of altitude of 5000 feet from G. dham the altitude sickness at 14200 ft can become more hazardous. Pls permit me to post an ugly picture of Kas with flowers prisoned behind a fence. The debacle of 2012 season is only due to enormous hue and cry created by environmentalists and botanists (exagerated news) on how Kas flora suffered due to tourism. Here the medicine has proved to fatal than the decease itself. Now no one is allowed to go near flowers for preventing plucking or trampling. Recently it was announced that except researchers no one should visit Kas which I find absurd. My comments might bring in wrath of some members but this is my opinion after a long careful study. I hope we evaluate this subject more carefully. With regards, -- attachment: Debacle of Kas.jpg

Thank you all members in making the 'Kas Week' a success though I was afraid that it would turn out to be a 'Kash Week' or a 'Kas Weak'. I will soon post the analysis of species but by and large the species that featured in posts represented the typical habitat of a lateritic plateau. This location is now a natural heritage and documentation of this site is vital in its preservation. Statistically Kas would not compare with V0F but diversity is distinct. I am extremely thankful to all those who contributed or appreciated the posts thogh personally I did not acclaim each post. I have documented 175 species from Kas but I posted only those 'out of box' species. I am thankful to all those who compensated for my physical absence during the episode.

Re: [efloraofindia:134410] KAS Week:DS_011012_01 Drosera indica
These insectivorous plants grow only on sandy ground depleted with nutrients. The usual plants do not grow along with them. This makes these insect eating plants (their sparkling droplets) stand out for attracting the insect prey. ..and though not in this case, but photographers sometimes clean up the surroundings to make their images stand out.

Re: [efloraofindia:131246] Re: Kaas Week: October 1 to 14, 2012-Coordinator Mr. Shrikant Ingalhalikar
Dear Members, Let me brief about the origin of Kas name. Kas village is few km ahead of Kas Plateau. The name of village comes from a tree Elaeocarpus glandulosus which is found in that region. Locally this tree is known as Kasa or Kasav (tortoise). Long vowels are phonetically written as Kás and not as 'Kaas'. The local names of Elaecarpus glandulosus are written in T. Cooke's flora as *Kásav, **Kásá*. It is possible that even IUCN may have spelled it as Kaas after various websites. 'Kas' may stand as 'odd man out' but websites need not be considered as authentic.
