Thank you Mayur ji.

However, I have found this listing only in IPNI and WP, and it is not listed in Nepal also.

In WP it is given as syn. of Murdannia spirata (L.) G.Brückn.; Nat. Pflanzenfam. [Engler & Prantl] Aufl. 2, 15a: 173 (1930) subsp. spirata

Could it be a new subsp. for Nepal ?

I think it is listed in the latest book published by Mayur ji as per details at
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mayur-Nandikar/publication/380760624_Commelinaceae_of_India_A_Taxonomic_Revision_Field_Guide/links/664db6c70b0d2845744eed64/Commelinaceae-of-India-A-Taxonomic-Revision-Field-Guide.pdf

Thank you Mr. Garg. I am wondering about its distribution for Nepal.

Dear Mr. Garg,

Should it come in separate page in the efi?

There may be many subspecies at https://efloraofindia.com/efi/murdannia-spirata/

That is why I have kept everything together on the same page.
