Dont get offended if I say it is not the largest, because Chinese Virtual Herbaium has 5,000,000 images but the images also mean images of herbarium specimens. And CVH is ofcourse working under collaboration with around 52 different Universities in China and Taiwan and hence lot of subject experts as well as citizen scientists involved many of whom are paid to do that, although it started at a much lower scale once. But That doesnt make our efforts smaller. I must say that we have come a long long way but still we have a long way to go and I am confident that we can one day have atleast a full flora of India represented on our eflora. We are not a google group but a family and our efforts can never be under estimated. As dDinesh sir said, it is really ONE OF ITS KIND where no money is involved, no professional organisation is involved but only our selfless efforts.
