Photographed from Gulmarg and Pahalgam in Kashmir in May, 2012. Most of the Brassicaceae sp. look so similar, really difficult to arrive at ID in absence of key characters. Now i understand why … always insists for the photographs of leaves and other key characters. . Yes … it is Barbarea vulgaris, but HEIK files of Iphone don’t open in Google mail. You may either convert to JPG (using Paint, or IlovemyJPG online software (30 images at a time) or any other conversion software. Otherwise if you are taking plant photographs you may change settings in your iphone to JPG saving:
1. Go to Iphone settings
2. click Camera
3. Click Format and tick Most compatible (High Efficiency HEIK format would get changed to JPEG) and you will save all your future pictures images as JPG
Thanks Sir ji for the confirmation. JPG images attached I had suggested earlier also, FOR ALL IPHONE OWNERS WHO HAVE TO SUBMIT PICTURES TO WEBSITES. Thanks Sir ji for the advice. I have already updated the settings for the future.
