    I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Shorea

    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.

    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.

    Any comments/ corrections are welcome.

    Further updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Shorea

    Pl. go through Shorea page with images of species (done by Rawat ji) in efloraofindia.

    If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know.

    If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice. Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let me know.

    fourth pic of s. roxburghii is being cutoff

    can that be brought in to the table in a second row under the first picture?

    Thanks, …, Pl. see now.

    Yes that works and great. I think the sequence of pictures works too:
    the trunk/bark being first and so on and so forth. like it
