Thanks, Singh ji. We can not follow any database all the time, for all our plants. As we know, database in dependent on many underlying resources and these are also getting updated and changed over a period of time. We also get connected with many recent publications, discussions in our group and advises from many experts, from time to time.
POWO is also creating lot of confusion coming from Kew, but basing itself on the The Plant List, when a taxon is not appearing in their more accurate database on WCSP <https://wcsp.science.kew.org/qsearch.do>. This should certainly give bad name to them. Catalogue has done a wonderful job in recent years and appears more reliable after WCSP & ILDIS. But it also can not be relied all the time. It changes based on latest publications (sometime on molecular studies), but those may not be acceptable to all and has to stand scrutiny over a reasonable period of time. Than we have our own Floras and efloras, which needs to be connected properly. Sometimes, we may not be changing in order to maintain familiarity with a genus and sometimes to maintain comparative images on a single page. There may be thousands of old pages, for which I may not be in a position look them all at a time. Thus this is very complex. In this case, I would like to go with Catalogue of Life.
