I reiterate that Aporosa indo-acuminata Chakrab. & N.P.Balakr. in N.P.Balakr. et al., Fl. India 23: 369. 2012 of Kerala and Tamil Nadu is different and distinct  from A. acuminata of Sri Lanka.

[Giby Kuriakose]

I will check the same and get back to you. This plant is certainly A. acuminata but another upload from Mudumalai would not be A. indo-acuminata that is A. lindleana only.
