May I request you to forward this posting to Prof. Narasimhan , Professor of Taxonomy, Madras Christian College, who is an authority on Tamil Nadu flora. His email ID is : [email protected] . I donot know whether he would respond, since he is a very busy person. Try any how. I used to interact with him personally when I was in Chennai.
