I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Melochia<\/font><\/em><\/a> <\/span><\/span>(Pl. click).<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any comments\/ corrections are welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n
