Garg ji I think, there is no problem in searches on efloraofindia page. If you search in google, most of the time you will not get results for your search due to lack of tags. I searched for Codonopsis viridis and found no results in google. When searched for Codonopsis viridis and efloraofindia, the results appeared. On 08-Nov-2017 10:41 AM, "J.M.
