I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Asparagus (Pl. click).

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.

If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.

Any comments/ corrections are welcome.

I have added the list of species which is mainly based on Karthikeyan et al 1989 but added with the species mentioned in the references given by you on the page.
Thanks a lot, ... In that case I have added one more reference as below:
2. efi page (other references on this page)
Thanks, ... It is good to see almost complete list at the top.
 

1 species was already done by you

Pl. go through ‎‎Asparagus page (‎Asparagaceae) with images of species in efloraofindia (done by Bhagyashri ji).

If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know.

If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), it will be really nice. Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know.
