\nFern tree<\/a>: 1 high res. image.
\nAt gurukulam Kerala<\/span> last week (29.4.22)<\/p>\n
\n
\nFor tree-ferns one has to show close-up details of the underside of a pinnule, so we can see the little scales, hairs, teeth and sori, plus one close-up of the stipe surface. A general photo of a tree fern is just that “A tree-fern”! Unidentifiable.
\nFor many other ferns frond-bases are more useful than frond-apices, which people never seem to realise.
\nThen for the Angiopteris in the foreground we need to see a close-up of the fertile underside of a segment to see the position of the sori and the lenght of the recurrent false-veins.
\nSo this person needs to start again and make photos that actually show something diagnostic.<\/p>\n
