Hi, Dinesh ji,

Can there be two plants here ? One being as per post by Anurag ji at ANMAR28/48 Smithia sp. for identification, which may be Smithia blanda

I think no; and I have strong doubts of Smithia blanda distributed in northern Wesern Ghats

Do you find Anurag ji's plant same as yours ?

[Dinesh Valke]

Ah, thanks Garg ji. I had not known about this distribution fact.

I do not think there are two plants; hoping someone validates this possibility.

Regards.
