Questions related to Nymphaeaceae
I am working on the Nymphaeaceae family, requiring the wild collection.
After analyzing sediment cores for the first time this year I am new to this sort of morphological taxonomy. My research is based on Florida lakes, in subtropical climate, most of the samples we've analyzed contain loamy to sandy soil, I've only rarely encountered clumps of clay. A lot of the entire macrofossils encountered have been seeds from families such as Amaranthaceae, Cyperaceae, Characeae, Juncaceae, Hydrocharitaceae, Nymphaeaceae and more. If I use this discussion to post photos and descriptions of macrofossils found how do I 'up' my views or invite more botanists to participate?
