Thanks a lot Madhuri mam for encouragement and appreciation. You are absolutely right. With almost 3000 species of plants (Angiosperms, Gymnosperms, Pteridophytes) and many many unexplored lower plants, Orissa is still under explored with its full potential. Now the mineral deposits in those floral hot spots are posing sever threat of habitat loss for many rare, endangered, threatened and endemic species.
Thanks Balkar Sir for kind support.
