Yes Dinesh ji After seeing the upload of several species of Pedicularis, Potentilla, Impatiens, Campanula, from VOF I feel there is a real need for simple identification keys for Indian Flora on the pattern of one we have on our website for Solanum, Cassia complex,etc. I think each member can pick up one genus, prepare a list of species found in India and upload for discussion in the group. Once list is finalized, the member can try to construct a simple identification key. We can all help if each genus forms one thread.
