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.
