Thanks, Anzar ji, for knowing this.
This has been possible due to hard work of not only all our members over last more than 12 years, but also help and support received from experts from India and all over the world.
Hope more and more taxonomists come out with their collections and put it on efloraofindia along with helping in correct identifications.

Great work Garg Ji, no doubt about what Pankaj Ji and Gurcharan Sir have said..!!
I fully agree that your untiring efforts are matchless and unimaginable. I wonder how a person can devote that much time, as you are doing to build the database..
I will be lucky again to speak about eFI at BSI Symposium at Kolkata next month..

I think it is the collective desire to do something. I remember you looking at all our posts the day you joined and correcting them. 
I think it is the desire that we Indians can also do something, where ever we are lagging behind. New India finds new ways.

Hi, Dinesh ji,
It is honour for efloraofindia as a team and you are among the top. Your work on vernacular names, is beyond praise.
In fact, I was surprised from where she got my image. Now, in another thread from Anil ji, it became clear that he forwarded the moderators images page to her and she got it from their.

Thanks, Rawat ji, for your wonderful thoughts. That is why you are such a wonderful storyteller.
You have always highlighted its importance from the very beginning in very lucid terms.
Ways were shown by you and so many others, in one way or the other, which we are following to our great and thrilling journey of efloraofindia.

eFI is a huge database considering its coverage on India flora. More than half of Indian wild flowering plant wealth is displayed in it. Owing to its coverage/ size it is becoming more and more visible to the people world over. It is nice knowing (through Dr Anzar, Dr Thakur and a FB post of Dr Subir Bandyopadhyay) that eFI was mentioned in the lecture of Dr Renner. She has been communicating with us for the last few years so well aware of the depth of information in eFI. Mentioned by an internationally renowned scientist, many in India will also search it now, particularly the new students of Taxonomy who likes to identify plants by comparing the images [though hard core taxonomists give it less value, and rightly so, in comparison to reading detailed morphological features in literature and detailed examination of the specimens for identification]. BUT we are living in a world where calculated short cuts for progress are taken by many or may be all, without disclosing.

Members have been using this database repeatedly but many more non-members must be using it too. However, we do not have any method to know how many people have visited/ consulted eFI. Experts may have the idea that a ‘visitor count’ type assessment is possible here or not.

My salutations to Garg Ji and Dinesh Ji for developing and executing this epic idea of “a site free to all”. Though, it is only possible by the contributions from many, but each drop is very meticulously accumulated by Garg Ji to develop such a large ocean.

Dr Nidhan Ji, as he has mentioned, will be displaying again beautiful slides on eFI in an international conference in BSI in Feb 2020 where many hard core taxonomists will be listening him. After which there will certainly be a spurt of visitors to eFI.

My best wishes to eFI for days ahead; full of accolades, appreciations and recognition.

eFI is a huge database considering its coverage on India flora. More than half of Indian wild flowering plant wealth is displayed in it. Owing to its coverage/ size it is becoming more and more visible to the people world over. It is nice knowing (through Dr Anzar, Dr Thakur and a FB post of Dr Subir Bandyopadhyay) that eFI was mentioned in the lecture of Dr Renner. She has been communicating with us for the last few years so well aware of the depth of information in eFI. Mentioned by an internationally renowned scientist, many in India will also search it now, particularly the new students of Taxonomy who likes to identify plants by comparing the images [though hard core taxonomists give it less value, and rightly so, in comparison to reading detailed morphological features in literature and detailed examination of the specimens for identification]. BUT we are living in a world where calculated short cuts for progress are taken by many or may be all, without disclosing.

Members have been using this database repeatedly but many more non-members must be using it too. However, we do not have any method to know how many people have visited/ consulted eFI. Experts may have the idea that a ‘visitor count’ type assessment is possible here or not.

My salutations to Garg Ji and Dinesh Ji for developing and executing this epic idea of “a site free to all”. Though, it is only possible by the contributions from many, but each drop is very meticulously accumulated by Garg Ji to develop such a large ocean.

Dr Nidhan Ji, as he has mentioned, will be displaying again beautiful slides on eFI in an international conference in BSI in Feb 2020 where many hard core taxonomists will be listening him. After which there will certainly be a spurt of visitors to eFI.

My best wishes to eFI for days ahead; full of accolades, appreciations and recognition.
