Murli,
eqscplot gives you nothing because you specified `type="n"'. You are not 
plotting anything because your call to "text" never completed.

When I do this I get:

[1] "R version 2.0.0, 2004-10-09"
 > text(ir.ld, labels= as.character(ir.species[-143]), col =3 
+codes(ir.species),cex =0.8)
Error: 'codes' is defunct.
See help("Defunct")

This means "codes" is no longer available. Use ?as.integer instead.

P.S. Please do read the posting guide and tell us what version of R you 
are using, etc.
