Dr. Gopinath Panigrahy
“Dr. Misra is an outstanding and accomplished Orchidologist and Conservationist of penetrating and discerning intellect... and all these have earned him a niche among the internationally recognized Orchidologists.
He deserves commendations for having worked assiduously on the most difficult of plants and has acquired the skill and expertise on Orchids much more than any living Botanist of Odisha... including myself.”
Dr. D.L. Szlachetko
Department of Taxonomy & Plant Conservation, University of Gdansk, Poland
“Dr. Misra is undoubtedly a leading Expert on Indian Orchids. His publications are very well known among Orchid Lovers.
The book ‘Orchids of India – A Handbook’ is a highlight of his research and conservation activity. It contains not only the Biology and Ecology of Orchids but also encyclopedic information of all orchids recorded in India.
I am certain that the work of Dr. Misra will become part of the orchid literary canon and will inspire everybody who loves these extraordinary plants.”
