** Namaste to everyone. I have just added a file with a list of 337 indigenous Threatened Indian pteridophytes (species and subspecies), giving revised upper IUCN categories. Other S. Asian countries are in preparation, but I'm taking a short break now as I'm hoping to go up to Annapurna Himal to look for interesting Polystichum species - but it depends on whether we'll have transport, or strikes or curfews from tomorrow as the Nepal Govt. has effectively collapsed today. But if I can get there I hope to be out of it, off trekking from Pokhara! I'd appreciate any comments about the list - omissions, errors etc. if possible ([email protected]) as inevitably there is a certain element of subjectivity in it and different people's experience would greatly help. Best wishes, Chris Fraser-Jenkins, Kathmandu. __,_._,___ -- With regards, J.M.Garg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' The whole world uses my Image Resource of more than a *thousand species* & eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically & place-wise): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg.
