Hi Selvalakshmi

Good. You are giving an additional information for the species. You can also provide the photos for the particular species if you have.

I AM REQUESTING OTHERS ALSO IF THEY HAVE PHOTOS FOR THE PARTICULAR POST. IT WOULD BE GOOD AND INFORMATIVE FOR EFLORA LOVERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM NON-PLANT TAXONOMY BACKGROUND.

Regards

Senthilkumar U.
