[Gurcharan Singh]

Both POWO and Catalogue of Life treat H. ovalifolia as synonym of H.furcifera Lindl.,so Dinesh ji is right in that sense of compiling names.

[Dinesh Valke]

Thanks Saroj ji and Gurcharan ji.

Both species are distinct; somehow H. ovalifolia Wt. (an endemic of Western Ghats) got treated as synonym of H.furcifera Lindl.which has distribution almost all over India and beyond.

Hope someday they are going to be separated at POWO, GBIF, and any other sites.

Regards.

Dinesh
