Dear all,


Congratulations!


I am much excited to let you know that our group has achieved yet another milestone by reaching a record number of  2,00,000 messages.


The total number of species documented and discussed in this group has also crossed 10,000 species, which is about 50% of the India's flowering plant wealth. The database currently holds more than 2,00,000 images, probably the largest digital collection of Indian plants on the web. This once again reiterates that eFlora of India is one of the largest and most active forums of this kind in the world, dedicated to plants of India.


The major strength of the eFI family is its 2,400 members- team that has made this landmark growth possible.


Just to compare, in September 2010, the group only had 1,400 members and had posted 50,000 messages covering 4,050 species. What a phenomenal growth in this short period of time! 


On behalf of eFI, I take this opportunity to thank and congratulate all the active contributors, experts, pillars, moderators, and all the members of eFI family on this collective accomplishment.

Here is a glance on the journey of eFI during the last five years...


Sincerely,

Vijayasankar
