Dear Sir This work is actually not mine but Sachin Dangat's. I would really be happy if his work gets more audience and more such works can be undertaken by researchers in India. His work misses some important aspects which he and others can incorporate in their work to make their research more laudable. I am always ready to help anyone who is working on orchids. For other groups I have less idea ! Best regards Pankaj
