Aarti: I looked at this for some reason today Please dont be hasty to get down to the species level...
more often than not such haste is not advisable... we dont know anything about this plant.. I am happy with colloquial name and family name at the best, if pushed And Dr Diwakar is /was at BSI he has not ventured to guess at a name.. for our database it should remain at the family level.. usha di On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 1:32 AM, Aarti S.
