Dear Dr Balakrishnan and ALL: Do you by any chance know if records are kept about introduction year, person who did it, area where it was first planted for some purpose? Is there a database someplace or a compilation of such information? I imagine the specimen introduced by the folks at east india company perhaps has records and their customs paper would have info... but I was wondering if horticultural community as a whole in India may have the information????
