Trees of Delhi and Trees of Pune are milestone publications. One cannot but compare the two.
the descriptions are more detailed in PK. SI concetrates more on flowers. The interesting anecdotes which PK gave are an interesting reading. Probably SI should have collected interesting stories and anecdotes about various trees from Konkan and Maharashtra areas. This could even be added in a later edition. This is not to belittle the effort of SI. tremendous effort and an excellent product after 3 years of labour (as he says) and a lifetime of experience. This will go down as a classic. ak On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 10:03 AM, J.M.
