Hi, Pankaj ji & Kiran ji, Thanks for your responses & different views. That's why the word "....*to the extent possible* .." is incorporated.
Efloraofindia has come a long way. And we have to move ahead. Creation of Efloraofindia is by no mean a small task. Hundreds of man-hours are being put in by the Experts (like never before) to help members in identification. Selfless service of the experts should not go waste & they should be made to feel that they belong here for some purpose. Had it not been for them, the group would have died long back. *And members would have rued for lack of any responses for identifications, as on many of the other groups.* In view, it's imperative that members asking for identification give some reasonable inputs *to the extent possible*.
