 Dear Members
 It gives me great pleasure in announcing that Dr. Michel Porcher,
 who specializes in sorting plant scientific names and common names in
 different languages and holds special interest in genus Citrus, has
 kindly
 agreed to coordinate the Rutaceae week from May 7 to 13, 2012. With his
 great knowledge and expertise we should see another very exciting week
 like
 we had during Convolvulaceae week with the deep involvement of Dr. Ron.
 I request members to show large scale participation by uploading
 both identified and unidentified members of this family during this
 week,
 and be ready with as many regional names as you can collect from
 published
 sources as well as contacts with local.
I don't know whether I should divulge this secret or not, but felt
 like informing you that Dr. Porcher has prepared an elaborate
 introduction
 for you. This should go a long way in preparing the members for the
 week.
I am going to Kashmir tomorrow for nearly 45-50 days. I will be
 staying at Jammu for 2-3 days and may be able to start interactions only
 after 4th May when I reach Srinagar, and as such thought of writing this
 mail today.

Hi All.
Indeed Surajit Ji has made a mammoth contribution to the group and I
believe he will continue doing so it in future.
He is quite an appreciable personality and has every quality to be
used as an example for new members. The basic
pattern of behaviour which most senior and fellow members would expect
along with the hard work are two most
important characters which I find pleasure to bring up. The most
awkward situation for me is probably his suffix of Sir
with my name. I was quite not aware of his age, members like Muthu, me
and e.tc and probably the youngest chaps
in this group, most members are nearly at the dawn of their evolution
at least I am still evolving. Hence, I will kindly
request Surajit ji to remove the suffix as all other members do.
Best wishes,

 DEAR ALL:   Try not , I repeat NOT   to eat Neer Brahmi CHutney... its
 done RAW... and neer brahmi needs a lot of mud and muck to grow...
 human
 parasite eggs and cysts abound... in natural spots from where this
 brahmi
 is collected and sold in markets...

 Boiled, its a nice accompaniment to rice...and veggies...  is also
 hygienic...

 One way one can perhaps eat it raw is wash wash wash in water then
 soak for at least 20 minutes in potassium permanganate and then wash
 wash
 wash wash

 too much work 

 OR GROW YOUR OWN IN A BALCONY ..pots and pots of them to make chutney
 enough for a family of our... one meal...

 Usha di

 ps ... I just plant the semi woody bottom half of the twigs from the
 bunches I buy in the market... though they do not root as easily as the
 mint does, it does do well esp in june, july with monsoon rains... needs
 high humidity...  I have done it as a curiosity, not to raise a crop.

 Mani Ji,

 One of my innovative herb growers is cultivating Bacopa with Acorus as
 mixed crops. (Please see attached pictures). I will request him to
 send
 fresh plants to you.


 In 2005, when I was invited as guest speaker in International
 Conference organised by Jadhavpur University I got opportunity to meet
 well
 known activist Vasudha Joshi. In his terrace garden I found Bramhi
 plants.
 Her family consume it daily as Chutney during meals. She informed that
 it
 is common in Kolkata families.

 May be Dr. Usha (Di) aware of Vasudha ji.

Dear friends,

I have come to read an article on cancer and came to know that there is a
tree called Sour sop  (relative of our Sitaphal).   The leaves and bark
when boiled in water and drunk acts like  chemotherapy and it does not
destroy any healthy cells. The tree grows in South India .  Fruit is
similar to Custard apple with some thorns on the outer fruit.  Please have
a look at this link.
