Hi All. It was a privilege to have Raman Ji in our group. He surely has contributed a lot for the group and wish he will continue doing so in future. I did take time to go through his website and was amazed to see his collection on Bangalore trees. I really appreciate his efforts in documenting the flora as well as his scientific approach to organize them. I believe the website will be helpful in identifying many common trees in Bangalore and around India. Regards Tanay
