It is true that only few fresh specimens being uploaded for identification, experts participation has declined in recent times. Yet it is true we have huge number of uploads in our database where we know the family, nothing beyond or we know the genus not the species, together with some already identified but identification may need rechecking, a job Garg ji has been doing very credibly, as also Saroj ji. Perhaps some of us can attempt to clear the Dubia in our database. I will make an attempt on my part, as and when I find time. I am starting with Acanthaceae. Others can make their choice.
