Though minutes ago I gave my view on a similar looking species in Nidhan Sir's thread but I would like to admit that I have no clear idea on differences between L. lanata (inlc. its var.) and L. mollissima (incl. its var.).

Since L. lanata is not distributed in this part of West Bengal (as per Bengal Plants) I am yet to learn the differences clearly.

Thank you
