Sir,

"Bengal Plants" describes five Lepidagathis species of which L. hyalina (L. incurva) covers two varieties - http://ia700604.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?id=mobot31753000237419&itemPath=%2F32%2Fitems%2Fmobot31753000237419&server=ia700604.us.archive.org&page=n156_w1150.jpg.

"Flora of British India" describes more varieties of L. hyalina Nees - http://ia600606.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?id=mobot21753000004357&itemPath=%2F23%2Fitems%2Fmobot21753000004357&server=ia600606.us.archive.org&page=n524_w1150.jpg.

I do not know if my species is any of those varieties of L. hyalina Nees (L. incurva Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don.).

Further, i do not know if my species is L. incurva at all.

Attaching two more new pictures of almost similar looking plant found 3 km away from the plant in this thread.

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit
