Thanks Balkar ji, for pointing out the discrepancy in Chitrakoot plant, and
Tanay for resolving its identity. Tanay, I am becoming a fan of you. Keep it
up.
Balkar ji, let us upload photographs of different plants, and also by
two different members in separate mail threads. We can always give links.
This way reference would be easier in the database.
I am happy the group is evolving into a strong and efficient forum for
quick identification. I love this group for the level of cordiality shown by
most senior members, and I am happy Tanay has got into this mould rapidly.
Thanks Garg ji for conceiving the idea.
