Abstract

Taxonomists have been generally accused of being an egocentric community, involving themselves in intellectual disquisitions and compiling Floras, Revisions and Monographs, useful only for other taxonomists, and in a language unintelligible to the layman ignoring the public demand for taxonomic information, especially on domesticated plants. In this context, it is a welcome change that taxonomy is going public, with Dr. Kapoor and Dr. Sharga publishing this book on house plants.
