There are some plant names only in one language (mostly in Gujarati), they are not identified or in some cases local names are not available. I would like to request the visitors to kindly help by providing its Latin/local name if known to him/her.

You can even provide some other plants' pictures as well as their synonyms. Name of such information provider will be dully acknowledged. This service is not at all commercial service, and we can build this site better, if we work together, for ourselves.
