Satish ji ... recollecting that you had pointed this sometime back in the past too ... https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/DNrRp_ZAVFg/discussion
Let me clarify once again that the family name is not going to be put in this Names of Plants in India project ... because this database is being manually built - *it is not programmatic* ... any change that occurs due to change in family will be a frustrating exercise to repair the data. Therefore no mention of family ... am sure it does not really make the data incomplete. The crux of the project is names of the plants .... the common names of the plants do not change ... the botanical names' status of the plants are liable to change -- those changes too prove difficult for repairing !!
