Dear All Thanks a lot for appreciation. I would also like to express that I actually got less help from fellows in India where I was expecting. G. pseudodistichus and G. distichus was described from Sikkim and I know many people in Sikkim who could have helped me but they didnt. Lets make this group a source of sharing knowledge where members can help each other. Lets make our group so well represented by members from each and every part of India that we dont need to spread our hands in front of anyone outside this group. I never said no to anyone who needed my help here in the group, whether it is associated with sharing of pics or reprints. Best regards Pankaj
