Role of efloraofindia in Scientific publications:
Efloraofindia is playing a pivotal role in discovery of many new species, in publication of new species, in bringing out new records, in bringing out new records/ species even before their publication, in better explaining scientific publications etc. Lot of experts are keeping an hawk eye on all the posts & publishing new species/ records etc. whenever they come across with or without our knowledge. Lot of species has already been published which initially could not be identified and were established/ published as new species with Expert help. Many new species were posted here, before they are published e.g. a few given below:
