Yes, Didi, we have so many highest ranks, in this group, dedicated to our flora world. Yet we have so many mis-identifications which in turns lead to further mis-id. Just check http://www.fao.org/ag/agp/AGPC/doc/gallery/pictures/asysint/asysint.htm against FoI. I prefer to depend on century old lit than to depend on websites, unless those are Govt. or Edu. or related. Even then sites need to be updated regularly which cannot be ascertain only by browsing. Govt., Edu, Org, are all people like us. What about our eFI, Garg Sir's project? Majority members do not even bother to maintain author citations. Very few are willing to use statistics. You yourself have raised the issues in several threads. Do you think this is the way to science?
