Sam sir's pictures are correct and anything which looks like his images are correct. Rest are Disperis zeylanica which some ignorant person merged under Disperis neilgherrensis. Infact when Trimen saw and described . zeylanica he was well aware of D. neilgherrensis and he stated that the other species was also there. As I always said, just because Kew follows something, doesnt mean they are correct.

With kind regards, Sam.

Who is the director there? I think it is possible to dissent for research purposes after getting permission from the Director of the park.
