I am at a loss that I did not contact you earlier for contributing some images for publication in the Flora of India Volume 23.  I was not knowing about your photography at all. I was searching everywhere for good photos of Euphorbiaceae.  Now it is too late.  the Volume is already published by Botanical Survey of India.  Date of publication 31st Oct. 2012.
