Dear friends Perhaps our apprehensions about lack of interestin grasses were unfounded. The Grass week was a great success, providing a glimpse of great diversity within the group. Large number of members participated, with major contribution from Nayan ji, ably supported by Dinesh ji (as usual), Ritesh ji, Vijayasankar ji, Raghu ji, Mayur ji, Prashant ji, Balkar ji, Rashida ji and several other members, regularly encouraged by Tanay who also provided relevant feedback. Pankaj ji continued the great work of providing types, protologues and important comments. Congratulations and thanks to all for making the episode a great one. Kudos to Dr. Ritesh Choudhary for undertaking and coordinating this important episode on grasses. Fortunately very few grasses remained unidentified during the week. I WOULD REQUEST OTHER MEMBERS TO VOLUNTEER FOR COORDINATING FUTURE EPISODES.
