Dear members, Sh. Dinesh Valke is the Star Expert of 2018 (as he was in 2017 also), with 1093 messages- which includes compilation of vernacular names in their own scripts, proper pronunciation, beautiful uploads along with assistance in Ids. He has wonderful knowledge as far as Flora of South India & Western Ghats is concerned. His Flora photography is also superb. He has no parallels. He created efloraofindia site & gifted it to us. He always had a great vision & pioneered so many new ideas on efi. The compilation work of vernacular names which he is doing is unique and very time consuming. He is also one of ours Pillars <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/about-us/pillars-of-efloraofindia> and remains at number 3 since long among top 10 all time posters <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!aboutgroup/indiantreepix>. Kudos to Dinesh ji for his great contributions. -- With regards, J.M.Garg
