Thanks a lot Vijay, You know what thrills me more is the fact that you are showing me a plant which was painted by someone in 18th century and collected by some one in 17th century.... This taxonomy really feels so exciting to me!!!
I am one of those lucky ones who has seen the original paintings in Hortus Malabaricus and Plants of Coromandel. Those gold plated sides of the book, and holding those books in hand is such a divine feeling, I cant explain in words.
