I had a chance to interact with Prabhu during a 'pollination biology' workshop at Calicut university. He is a very nice, humble and very friendly. He is pleasing and always smiling. He is not only an expert in Zingiberaceae but he also knows a great deal of other general plants. He has been and will be of great help in identifying 'difficult' plants and endemics especially from W.Ghat for sure.
