Power of citizen scientists is displayed once again. Mr Kasaju ji has learned a lot in a very short period of time and can identify numerous species. Great learning Sir. Congratulations for inseparably associating with a plant species. You discovered a novelty and I believe more will come in near future. Regards. On Thu, 21 May, 2020, 2:24 pm J.M.
