Dear Members Thanks for bearing with me for the delay in availability of the newly published 3rd part of Flowers of Sahyadri. Dr. SR Yadav who released this book last month insisted on changing the title from 'Final' to 'Additions to Flowers of Sahyadri'. Obviously I will not terminate the series of field guides on western ghats at this 3 rd part. The set now covers 2200 species including 370 cultivated species. Thanks once again to members who contributed their images for the book.
There was an issue with the production of this book subsequent to the launch and now it is available for the members of efloraofindia. Instead of offering any discount I am bearing the cost of packing, forwarding and freight so that it is simple to order the book. You may credit an amount of Rs. 800 (per copy) to a/c no 050320100001058 of Corolla Publications at Bank of India Karve road, Pune ISFC BKID0000503. The book will be despatched by Speedpost irrespective of the cost involved. Please send details of payment and address of despatch. The website www.flowersofsahyadri.com will be live with effect from 26th May 2014. More information on all books can be had from the website. The newly launched app 'Flowers of Sahyadri' is already available with Apple, Google and Amazon app stores.
