Dicliptera page with images of species in efloraofindia : 1 post by 1 author. Pl. go through Dicliptera page with images of species in efloraofindia (done by me). If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), it will be really nice. Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know.Dicliptera nasikensis in FOI : 3 posts by 2 authors. I have doubts about images of Dimple Bhati of Dicliptera nasikensis in FOI as it is stated to be distributed in Nasik district of Maharashtra only as per Catalogue of Life and Flora of Peninsular India. I could neither find any images or specimen on net (none at GBIF) nor any description on net. Also it shows only a single image without much details. It may be some other species. Pl. check and rectify. I agree with you that the identity is doubtful here. It has to be deleted or marked as doubtful. Dicliptera (Acanthaceae)- comparative images : 1 post by 1 author. Pl. go through Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) page with comparative images of species in efloraofindia. On clicking the link of species, one can check the complete details. I request you to pl. go through & point out mistakes, if any. I hope this will aid in identifications in future. If anybody can send images of other species of this genus (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice. |
