Thank you Varun Ji.
Even my images were used without permission on 2 cases, one Impatiens
bicornuta and
another, Didymocarpus aromaticus.

Dear Sir

Greetings of the day!

Thanks for sharing this article, I have gone through this publication and
for the sake of registering a publication under respective author either
for submitting for MSc or PhD. Without any copyright permissions they had
used plant photos from internet as well as efloraofindia website (e.g. *Ficus
talbotii* image shared by me on efloraindia) and questions should be raised
and need to send a notice to authors. There are many mistakes in this
article, used wrong photographs as well as wrong scientific names. Such
articles do not have any pre-review value but damage actual works of
scientific community.

I'll send them a notice for this. Thanks again for sharing this.

Kind regards,
Varun

I guess the image given under the ID Ficus sarmentosa is not correct.
It rather looks like *Ficus bhotanica* King (Synonym: *Ficus gasparriniana*
var. *laceratifolia* (H.Lév. & Vaniot) Corner) . May I have your opinion on
this  please ?

Thank you.

[efloraofindia:464919] eFloraofIndia website updated up to 30th April’24: more than 14,000 species

[J.M. Garg]

Dear members,
It’s heartening to reiterate that *Efloraofindia*
* is
the largest google e-group/ forum in the world *in this field & the largest
nature related e-group (and the most constructive) in India with around
4,64,900 messages so far & membership currently more than 3490 nos.

efloraofindia (eFI in short) website  is one of
the biggest non-commercial site, one of its kind in the world & also
without advertisements, based on the collection of photographic images of
wild plants, where no money or professional organisation is involved except
for the selfless efforts of its members from diverse backgrounds. It is
documenting the Flora of India that is being discussed on efloraofindia google
e-group  along with
supplementing the working of the group.* It also has the largest database
on the net on Indian Flora with more than 14,000 species (along with more
than 4,00,000 pictures)*, from some of the best Flora Photographers of
India. You can go through Story of eFloraofIndia’s journey on 15th
anniversary
.
Members
should add Efloraofindia  website
 link in their favourites
& give species’ links from this while posting or replying in a thread as a
lot of discussed data is already available here.
Intent of this website is compilation of all the posts on ‘efloraofindia’
e- group along with providing other details so that it’s useful to all
concerned as all the data about a particular species will be available
under a single head & *easily searchable*. However, correctness of data/
identification in the efloraofindia (earlier indiantreepix) links is
dependent on the members’ inputs in that particular link. Therefore,
errors/ mistakes cannot be ruled out- everyone is requested to point them
out for corrections by sending an email to https://groups.google.com/>>. Anybody can also add comments about it, at
the bottom of the page.
We now have images on all species pages. We have simultaneously started
displaying these at genera & family pages with comparative images of
various species for easy identification (all the families except for
Poaceae, Orchidaceae and Zingiberaceae already completed). Insertion of
images has also increased the accuracy of the efloraofindia database
. *More
than 3,00,000 unique images have already been inserted as of 31.1.21.*

More important is the fact that thousands of observations of hundreds of
our members are available here (many of which one will not find documented
anywhere) & easily searchable through general web searches (after
adding efloraofindia) as well as by searching on the Efloraofindia
 website
. And these are going to
increase with every passing day. These original observations will be a
treasure trove & will be a delight to a lot of people. With the pace at
which new species are being added to our database, it should become the
premier resource for taxonomic research in India. As the data is
multiplying, we need more volunteers to take up this work. Details can be
seen at Volunteers required
.

For better viewing of species’ pages, colour scheme & formatting is being
followed as at the footer of every efloraofindia page.

These days a lot of information about Indian Flora is available under Cc-by
license 
(Licensees may copy,
distribute, display and perform the work and make derivative works based on
it only if they give the author or licensor the credits in the manner
specified by these). Due credits/ attributions are to be given. Such
sources include Wikipedia, India Biodiversity Portal, IUCN Red List, PFAF,
Flora of Tibet website, IBIS Flora etc. I am trying to add such information
with due credits. I am also trying to add keys & summarizing the
information at the top of the page (for the pages I am coming across while
adding information from current threads). Genera pages are also cleaned up
so that species (due to wrong botanical names or being syn. of some
other species) are deleted or properly connected as per the currently
accepted name along with references. Future eFI genera pages will be like
*Cyanotis*  depending upon
the time we get, as & when we update a genus page so that we are aware
which are the species which are likely to be found in India (depending on
the net resources) & which are already available in eFI.
