Plus I think I'm seeing what could be surface leaf pubescence in your V. blanda photo. <br /><br />The photos of the leaves for your V. pallens aren't so clear, but there's hope for seeing more equally sized notches than the V. blanda photo.<br /><br />As you look at live material, see if you think these notch characters around the leaf margin teeth help, and let me know. I'm really curious to know whether it turns out to be a helpful character, because I'm not claiming to know! Thanks.<br /><br />Ron G.Ron Gamblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963010796911980904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-23238288125653397942017-05-04T09:31:43.791-04:002017-05-04T09:31:43.791-04:00That's quite a project you've taken on!

Thanks to Sue. (You would think that when an operating system is "improved" it would make things easier for the user.) I admire your boundless energy in documenting the county's plants, as well as your photographs. I know you keep saying they are for documentary purposes, but they are joys to behold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-88119475834048545412017-05-04T07:12:24.035-04:002017-05-04T07:12:24.035-04:00Oh, I am so glad you got your computer problems an...Oh, I am so glad you got your computer problems answered. Hooray for Sue! I thought of you yesterday as I walked in our cherry woods up in the heifer pasture. There were violets everywhere and all sorts of things about which I am utterly clueless. I love your posts like this! Did see some good birds though...threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.com
