Not many people know this. But there was a concept of "Hu Card Index', developed by late Prof. Shiu Ying Hu, a China-born, Professor as Chinese University of Hong Kong. She collected names since the first publication in 1753 for all Chinese Plants, where ever she could find and prepared a collection of over 1.5 lakh cards. And, she had staffs to help. Her index is still maintained at the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University. This effort by Dinesh sir, single-handedly, is nothing less than that. We should call it, "*Valke Card Index of Indian Plants*'. It is really a good work, literally going unnoticed. Best regards Pankaj
