Dear all,
thanks for the response to the intro. Indeed you are most welcome to talk about wild citrus, but as Dr Singh pointed out it is important to build on strong foundations, and getting the taxonomy as accurate as possible is like the "painful digging of deep trenches". I have been working on those names since the mid-eighties and I am still often struggling with taxonomy, especially when it comes to plants bred for cultivation because far too often this involves hybrids. The new names such as Citrus × sinensis (L.) Osbeck advanced by Prof. Mabberley are good examples.
Actually my list in part 3 contains already some wild species. "Cultivated" or "exploited" plants does not necessarily mean "domesticated" as in bred for cultivation.
Now let's get practical: would you prefer to go through one species or one cultivar at a time with names in all Indian languages ? or go through one list at a time of all Citrus names in a single language ?
Finally please do not call me Dr. I do not have a Phd. Call me Mic.

Dear Mic, in this week, my contribution would be just about 10 - 12 species of Rutaceae, which I have in my flickr photostream.
I am not too familiar with Citrus plants, and have just 3 species with me - will be posting them one-by-one as time favours during this week.
My thought: I suggest to let the Rutaceae posts from all our friends come in during the week - you may review them / discuss them as per any of your approach that will help your project.
Regards.
Dinesh
