Dear members, The episode this month has been exceptional. In spite of the small size of the families we saw a very enthusiastic participation, with more than 20 members contributing uploads. This month has also recorded highest uploads in the year 2013, nearly 260 uploads. Prashant ji, Singh ji, Dinesh ji and Aarti ji have been among the leading contributor this month also. We also saw many new members contributing in a big way. My big thanks to Dr. Wojciech who made critical scrutiny of every upload and provided identifications and many useful comments. Evidently he will have more job at hand when we revisit the unidentified plants especially from Eastern Himalayas (courtesy Ritesh ji) and few from Western Himalayas and Western Ghats. Thanks also to Dr. Santosh Kumar ji for helping to streamline Biophytum and other members of Oxalidaceae.
