Contributors to this page (Personal communication) : In progress.
We still have a lot of homework
to do on all the names from India. Bunium, Carum, Trachyspermum
and related genera present real challenges given that we have an
abundance of romanised names in the literature but very few of
them in their original scripts. The taxonomy is clearer in 2005
than it was in 2000, so there is progress.
