I dont know if I am authorised to say this or not, but I dont think I
found any mail on Commelinaceae which was not answered by you. So it
was perfect. IF you wish to add more, then why would any one stop
you!!
Its a FEEL FREE from myside.

By the way, this i a great pic. I too have to add few pics (3-4) of
commelinids, just that net is too slow here even to open gmail inbox.
Hence I have to reply directly from the group.
Will add them once I return back.
