Picture taken at Chandrabani forests, Wildlife Campus, Dehradun Date: 03.06.2008 I really wish, if all the species of India could be illustrated in the same way. I am trying to illustrate orchids of Jharkhand for my upcoming book.... NOTE: Slide 2 refrence - "Kumar, P. and G. S. Rawat. 2009. Eulophia flava (Lindl.)

This art of classical taxonomy is difficult to master, an in fact few in India are expert in it. Pictures may be the easiest way to reach to Id of a plant but the drawings are best way to determination. You are true. Botanical illustration has lost its foot in India and people go for more colour photographs. In fact colour photographs can never replace a good botanical sketch and illustration. I would be using this to teach Orchidaceae family to my MSc students with due acknowledgment. This is nicely done. I will correct my upload as E. cullenea is a synonym of E. flava. Please feel free to use it. If you need, I can send you better resolution image. Please find the full article attached. Salutes ... I have not seen all your uploads; there may be many that I must see - after seeing this beautiful illustration.
