Thanks for the information Tapas ji. BSI is really great and due to contributions and work of many members like you, we are lucky to have so much literature available to us for study.

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 > > On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 11:18 AM, jmgarg1 <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please. >> >> >> >> >> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >> From: Karuna Das <[email protected]> >> Date: 31 October 2012 18:30 >> Subject: [efloraofindia:136862] Croton caudatus (?) from Guwahati. >> To: [email protected] >> Cc: [email protected] >> >> >> Dear All >> Is it Croton Caudatus ?
