Yes Sir ! I have been tracking the changes in BSI and very happy that they are opening their treasure of information to all interested in flora of India. Fortunately, whatever is on the net by BSI is already with me as hard copies and I use this literature as standard literature and owe a great respect to it. However, a lot remains to be done. With newly inducted young blood in BSI and with the guidance of experienced taxonomists we will have complete flora of India. Regards. DSRawat Pantnagar
