    Common Indian Wild Flowers is a gem of this category of books.

    Common Indian Wild Flowers is a gem of this category of books. It describes the common wild flowers which we come across though our paths. The photographs are also very good to identify the flowers in their natural habitat.
    Only thing I want to mention is a small mistake in proof in page 8-9(Redundant 4-5 lines).Hope this will be corrected in future edition.
