I consider it will be helpful for keen photographers, willing to make an additional effort, to know which parts of Geranium to photograph. Having images of such parts of each geranium will greatly aid identification and enhance our understanding of the genus in the Himalaya - and perhaps you can help with the locating and identification of a species new-to-science!
PHOTOGRAPHING GERANIUMS:
IF only the first one or two flowers have come out don't bother to collect as the form of inflorescence will not be evident.
The rootstock is important; get enough to show
whether compact or creeping, or annual. You can photograph the base of
the plant which should provide this information. Clearly, one requires
permission from the authorities to uproot a plant. There is still a need and indeed role for the collection of
pressed specimens for herbaria in India but that is primarily the domain of
staff of botanic gardens/ institutions.
In the early stages of flowering look out for
the best-developed unripe fruits available.
If fruit is ripe try to include both dehisced
and undehisced states.
If the fruits are falling with the seeds
inside them, collect some (many geraniums disperse their seed explosively but
some seed is often retained).
Include some loose petals when
pressing (detach if necessary). Expose stamens to show filament shape and
hairs by taking 2 or 3 sepals off a flower from which petals have recently dropped.
Smoothing out one or two leaves and
flowers as you close the press may be helpful; a few separately pressed basal
and lower/middle stem leaves are often useful.
Wilted specimens can be very
misleading.
Notes should be taken as to flower
posture, colour and patterning of petals, colour of stigmas, anthers and distal
parts of filaments (not necessary if your photos show these).
And don't forget to ensure the
stipules are clearly shown - something that would have been obviously in
pressed specimens, so not mentioned above by Yeo.
