Happy Birthday to eflora of India and special thanks to the members especially to Garg sir and Gurcharan sir and many others without whom this wouldnt have been possible. I always make excuse that I have lot of work, but obviously Garg sir too has lot of work, but I imagine how he finds time for checking all mails. Its really very selfless which gives us immense knowledge about Indian plants. 10,000 species is not small and it is I assume already above 50% of the total angiospermic flora of India. Special thanks also to subject experts and moderators without whom many of the plants might have remained unidentified. Congratulations and best of luck for future... Pankaj
