Please continue your great contribution. We are enjoying.

Many thanks Tanay and Satish ji for the appreciation.

This write-up is copy-paste of Excoecaria agallocha page at a Google site called Names of Plants in India.
To avoid rework of changing family names at any later stage, have not mentioned them anywhere.
