Surajit if taxonomists go and retrieve these specimen and classify and declare it to be Sagittaria sagittifolia then IUCN will have to correct its database... just because its not listed in one site does not mean it does not exist...
just like some cancers or some infections ... just like 100 years ago nobody believed that men get carcinoma of the breast, it just did not exist, it was not on the list... but now we know its common ... and so is now on the list... lists dont mean anything ... if they are not constantly updated... we can not change our diagnosis just because some list does not list it... lists can always be changed, deleted or added to... what it needs is some body knowledgeable, who has to make a proper diagnosis... and in this case it might just be that you are the chosen instrument to bring it to light... to attention of a some real botanically vigorous study group... usha di On Sat, Nov 15, 2014 at 9:18 PM, surajit koley < surajitnotavaila...@gmail.com> wrote: > Many thanks to Bimal Da, but strangely enough IUCN > <http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/167821/0> doesn't list India as its > geographic range.
