VoF Week :: DV :: the plants that I met during my 2012 VoF trip:  This page is summary of all the plants that I met during my trip to Valley of Flowers. It contains thumbnails of both: identified as well as pending for ID. The thumbnails link to my collection in flickr photostream; the names put under – link to the posts in eFI. This page will serve as ready reckoner for my future use; and hopefully help others in some way.

Immense thanks to all those who provided IDs; special thanks to … for responding with a lead or ID to every post. And to everyone for appreciation and good words.

VOF Statistics Dr Phadke Satish: Many thanks for all the participants for the overwhelming response to the recently concluded : VOF MONTH.
Please pardon me for not responding to many threads last few days as I was busy in compiling the statistics of the species discussed.
1)I have prepared an excel sheet with family-wise distribution of the plants studied. There might be some duplication of few species due to synonyms and at the same time I have tried to exclude the planted garden species posted as far as possible which are not endemic.
2) I have more than 1200 mails carrying label VOF in my inbox(1212 to be precise at this moment)
3)Total number of species discussed comes to 470 approx.(Because there might be some duplication or non-inclusion due to personal errors)including fern and Marchantia. One species of moss posted has not been counted by me.
4)There are 88 families representing the plants posted including fern and Marchantia. The nomenclature of some families has changed so again there might be some overlap and may be interpreted differently by some. esp family Caprifoliaceae which is now subdivided into several small families.
5)The largest family by number of species discussed is Asteraceae with 54 species discussed during the episode.
6)Next largest is Family: Rosaceae with 40 sp. discussed which is followed by Polygonaceae 23. Lamiaceae 21. Orchidaceae 20. Scrophulariaceae 18. Fabaceae 17. Ranunculaceae 16. Caryophyllaceae 12 Saxifragaceae and Balsaminaceae with 9 sp.each.
7)Some surprises(to me) Betulaceae which includes the famous Betula utilis tree also has occurrence in the valley with 5 more species recorded in our database.
8)Some major families with significant occurrence elsewhere were promonently absent here. Some of them are :Bignoniaceae; Capparidaceae,Combretaceae, Sapotaceae; Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae.
Please feel free to point any errors or important mentioning in the statistics which might have escaped my attention.
