Dear Garg Saab, Thank you for your message. I think Ushadi Micromini is ignorant of Plant Taxonomy and he/she has no faith on Indian scientist. It seems that he/she has no faith in Indian journals and she depends on some common internet searches only. According to her, most of the journals are nor peer reviewed, including Bulletin of Botanical Survey of India and as such they are not available on internet. Please tell him/her to give a search for KEW RECORDS OF TAXONOMIC LITERATURE - next give search for Euphorbiaceae and further search on Croton. He/she willl get all references. I reiterate that the copy and paste was done by me on common interest from my own work which will not be available on Google search. Flora of India Volume 23 containing families Loranthaceae to Daphniphyllaceae by BSI is now in press and I am a member of the Editorial Board of the same. Botanical Survey of India is the oldest and the only taxonomic institute in India with 14 branches all over India. The photo is of Croton caudatus Geiseler. Regards, Tapas Chakrabarty, Scientist - D and Head of Office, Botanical Survey of India, Industrial Section, Indian Museum, 1, Sudder Street, Kolkata - 700016 Telephone and Fax: 033 22861630
