Re: welcome to medit-plants

Dear Diane and Listmembers,

I am a horticulturist from India. I am 63 years old and currently working a
Corporate Consultant on Lesser Known Indian plants. You may contact me in
case you require any information or seeds etc. of those plants from India
which are not commercial and are not ordinarily traded.

For over three decades I worked for Govt and Universities in India and a few
countries abroad. Then I shifted to private sector. During the last five
years of my employment career, I worked for Shaman Pharmaceuticals Inc., a
South San Francisco daesed pharmaceutical company and helped them in plant
sourcing from India. I have travelled quite widely all over the world.



My research interests through out my scientific career have been wild
growing unexploited or underexploited plants having a potential for being
developed as new commercial crops. My several publications in this field
also include a book, WILD FRUITS OF THE SUB-HIMALAYAN REGION. For more
details about me, you may have a look on my CV at my website,
<http://www.lesserknownplants.com>www.lesserknownplants.com.

I live in the State of Himachal Pradesh in the North West India. This is a
hilly area having subtropical to temperate climate. My town, Mandi, is a
small hill town having a population of 35,000. It is very famous for its
temples.

Himachal Pradesh is one of the most horticulturally important states in
India.

I hope that I shall learn more about fruits from you all.
