Some feedback received is given below: "Dear Dr Garg Namastae. Your effort is growing in proportions and going to a big tree, though I do not want it be a banyan tree. It started booming and fruiting is on. I shall send my publications list so soon, after returning attending a symposium on algae in a college at Kakinada where I did my PUC and graduation. I was to search for *Polygala*. I just arrived there in MH when NC Nair and M Chandrabose have communicated the MS on Polygala of three southern states. I have a few suggestion for the matter included in the portal. Go to Polygala ( https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/mz/po/polygalaceae/polygala). The pages starts with the list of Polygala species from Flora of India after RN Banerjee). The volume of FI is as three. It is to be corrected as '2'. Species 24 is *P. telephoides* Willd. is a synonym of *P. chinensis *L. The above link and comment is uncalled for though one has a good intent to correct it. The synonymy is based on TROPICOS, FLORA OF CHINA PROJECT. It is not of Plantlist.org. This species is very interesting and described from Edgeworth's specimen from northwest India. I have looked years back and we added as a record for Telangana from a good forest habitat. If it were *P. chinensis* and then what about the specimens with the description of that taxon? It is a very important taxon in China where they extracted number of bioactive compounds. It is alleged to be used against drug addicts. Moreover, at the end of the above account of *Polygala*...it is remarked that there are no threatened species of the taxon since Nayar & Sastry have mentioned any. These authors never assessed the threatened taxa in the field and their accounts or categorization was just based on how many specimens and how often they were collected.
*I feel, it is high time that you think of experts who can approved these comments before posting or at least edit them to send no wrong signals.* *You need to have two channel...one anybody can post and comment a picture or account of a plant species from the Indian soil and the other which carries the authentic or at least after a consensus.* *With regardsDr Vatsavaya S.
