Yes it is a good idea. We have to do our bit to make the group popular. I latest Fourth International Edition of my book "Plant Systematics An Integrated Approach" released in June, 2019 I have added the followng paragraph: Last few years have seen the spurt of internet-based exchange of information. Efloraofindia (formerly Indiantreepix) https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/ is one of the biggest non-commercial website, based on photographic collection of plants. It is documenting flora of India that is being discussed on efloraofindia google e-group https://groups.google.com/forum/indiantreepix, devoted to creating awareness, helping in identification, discussion and documentation of Indian Flora. It also has the largest database on net on Indian Flora with more than 12,000 species (along with more than 3,00,000 pictures. It also includes species from other parts of world. This will also be there in Fourth Edition of Indian version "Plant Systematics: Theory and Practice", which will be released soon, and am happy to note is read widely by College and University students and teachers.
