Dear Prem,
Well, considering that rhodocheila means pink-lipped or rose-lipped
when translated, one would assume that this is the type color form for
the species, if given no other information.
No, you can't assume that ... It is posible, but you would have to check
in the original publication
The reason any charcoal absorbs - or in reality adsorbs - stuff is due to
the presence of pockets of small crevices and high porosity. It is the
presence of those tiny regions of large surface area that permit molecules to
adsorb. The size of the molecule and the size of the porosity are the

As I remember, Graphite was used by Prof Joseph Arditti as a colourant for
agar about 30+ years ago when he was working with antimicrobials in culture
media which would have been trapped by charcoal.
A good source of powdered graphite is puff lubricant for keyholes.

I've never met Buzz Baxter but I'm sure I would get along pretty well with
him. I've never met Peter O'Byrne and I have no doubt I would dislike him
intently if I did. I accept he has some useful field knowledge of orchids in
SE Asia but as he is not a trained taxonomist that knowledge is of
Hello OGDers :
What is the purpose of the following decision (?) :
America's agriculture secretary, Ann Veneman, ended a directive that
protects almost 60m acres of national forest in western states from road
building. The states will instead be allowed to submit their own
conservation and

A clever idea, but (tragically) not novel. Arditti mentions this in one of

charcoal, and the effects weren't nearly as good. Ergo, there's something
