Good news for all taxonomists. Happy to know this important development.
I just tried the site and it is good.
Search is possible with:
- Family name
- Scientific name (only generic name, species name will yield nothing)
- Country
- Collector
Well done BSI.

It is good news.
Would be real help to researchers. Remember the days in the early seventies when I continuously worked for 15 days or more twice to compare my herbarium Collection with specimens in CAL Herbarium.
‘Plant Discoveries 2021’ is also uploaded on the BSI website and available at: https://bsi.gov.in/page/en/national-wild-life-action-plan
Good, it will be helpful in identity confirmation.
Its great initiation
