In 2021, we have (along with *Dinesh ji's* work on Names of Plants in india) have tried to put our new site on a better footing by large scale manual formatting so that as many pages as possible look good and nice, when viewed on computer as well as mobile. We hardly faced any problem with our new efloraofindia.com site unlike the previous efi google site. Our activities were more compared to the previous years. In fact, we reaped a rich dividend of our previous experience in the form of identified plants and comparative images, of the efloraofindia website. 45% of viewership is from outside India as per Google analytics with share of mobile viewership being 55%, in our new site <https://efloraofindia.com/> .
