I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on ‎Smilax (Pl. click).

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.

If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.

Any comments/ corrections are welcome.

I have added the list of species mainly based on Karthikeyan et al (1989) added with the species taken from other references on Smilax page. Reference of eFI page is also added.

Thanks a lot, … I think it’s a better way to have all species list at the top. You are improving day be day.
