Thanks, Singh ji, One may like to see any page e.g. one on Xylia xylocarpa as below to feel as to how things are shaping up on every species' page since Dec'10: https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/f/fabaceae/xylia/xylia-xylocarpa
Dinesh ji is already working on the hic-cup as the species' pages are not turning up on search. Even after putting around 4 to 5 hours everyday since Dec'10, I feel I shall not be able to update efloraofindia website on own my own as around 4100 threads are still to be connected/ resurfaced (lot of assistance received from Singh ji) along with adding appropriate information on the efloraofindia website from efloraindia threads & elsewhere as per the example as above.
