Dear members, Dr. Sabu is one of the top taxonomists of India & an expert on Zingiberaceae, Musaceae, Marantaceae etc. He is the Professor of Taxonomy and Floristics Division, Department of Botany Calicut University, Kerala. He is the Secretary of Indian Association for Angiosperm Taxonomy <http://www.iaat.org.in/index.html>, established in 1990, which also brings out Rheedea <http://www.iaat.org.in/rheedea.html> (of which he is the Executive editor), which publishes peer reviewed original research and review articles in angiosperm taxonomy.
Despite being very busy, he has never shied away from helping us on these families as can be seen from his inputs during the Zingiberaceae Month. With whatever little interactions I have with him, I can only say he seems to be a very humble person who wants to see that Indian Taxonomy stays at top & he will leave no stone un-turned in the matter. May be other members, who are more familiar with him, can highlight other qualities & aspects of his magnetic personality. -- With regards, J.M.Garg 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1> The whole world uses my Image Resource <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg> of more than a thousand species & eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically & place-wise).
