It is relevant to mention here in this fortnight of Euphorbiaceae that the complete account of Indian Euphorbiaceae is now available as Flora of India Vol-23 which includes Loranthaceae, Viscaceae, Santalaceae, Balanophoraceae, Buxaceae, *Euphorbiaceae*, Daphniphyllaceae. It is a much awaited publication of Botanical Survey of India and being Govt publication has low price too. This entire document of 558 pages describes 506 species within 92 genera of above mentioned five families. 89 colour photographs and 52 line diagrams are also added with text.
As per the information available in this document (Balakrishnan *et al*. 2012) Euphorbiaceae are represented by 70 genera and 410 species in India. This number includes all the wild species and many cultivated species. We may later assess that how many species we have in our database as photographs. Here I wish to congratulate, and say thanks too, to Dr N.P.Balakrishnan, Dr T.Chakrabarty and other authors for producing this important document on floristic diversity of India.
