Glochidion heyneanum/G. velutinum

[Ashutosh Sharma]

Respected members,

Please help to resolve confusion

Glochidion velutinum is treated as Synonym of G.heyneanum in Plant list as well as by BSI eflora but in Flora of Pakistan only one Glochidion is mentioned that is G.velutinum with no mention of G.heyneanum even as synonym.
Whereas in Flora of India by Sir JD Hooker both species are described uniquely with some morphological differences and distribution.
Please see last attached image for discription.

Here are some links

The earlier available name takes precedence as per the Code (McNeill et al. 2012, to be replaced by the Schenzhen Code, 2018 very soon). In this case G. heyneanum takes priority and G. velutinim as its synonym.

Ok Glochidion heyneanum (Synonyms - G. velutinum) is an variable species .
Thanks Tapas sir for attachment and clearing doubt.

Very variable indeed with at least 4 varieties in India.

Here is an image of Glochidion heyneanum posted in this group by Nidhan ji.

Here we can see the  fruits before dehiscence with short, connate and columnar styles. The plant is tomentellous throughout.

Fruits look quite different. Need to rethink on ID.

[Tapas Chakrabarty]

Yes the images posted by Ashutosh ji are dehished fruits exposing the red seeds. But the image posted by me from Nidhan Singh ji are just ripe undehished ones. 

Having seen specimens from the entire range of G. heyneanum I have nothing to rethink.

It is up an individual to decide what name to be applied.

I have nothing more to say on these images. 

Thanks and regards.
