Such information is also needed to sensitise the conservation community at different levels which at times is believed to be fiddling while Rome burns. Hence, many workers continue to emphasize the overriding importance of revisions since enormous material has been added in Indian herbaria in the recent past. A taxonomic revision of a family with over one hundred species, however, can be a very daunting proposition in that there can be umpteen hurdles in getting types and other authentic specimens and old literature particularly that appeared in ephemeral periodicals more than two centuries ago from European herbaria. 431 pp. …
