Dear Members, 
It is because of you all that I could complete such a long journey of ten (10) and a half years with 50,000 messages
Earlier people used to say that Indians excell individually but fail when it comes to a team work. But now things have changed and efloraofindia is a fine example of that. All are working together with a single goal of bringing Indian Flora on net with wonderful images. 
I dedicate this moment to the Great Team spirit of efloraofindia

It always remains updated by Google at About Group. But it only lists top 10 posters.
Also google did not give individual count if it exceeds more than 3000 nos. e.g. as in Saroj ji's case.
So we do not know the exact count for members below those in the Top ten posters and above 3000 messages.
