Sir,
- in FoP = 2-3 m high; petioles 15 cm, lamina 3-30x1.5-12 cm .......
- in FoC = 30-50 cm; petiole 1-2.5 cm, leaf-blade/lamina 3-4.5 x 1.5-2.5 cm ....... !!!
Though the scaled leaf in this thread shows obtuse apex, i think, acute leaves can be seen in the first pic.
In the description of A. caudatus L., Flora of British India notes, "I find it very difficult to distinguish some states of this from A. paniculatus......"
F. B. I. equates A. caudatus L. with A. cruentus WIlld., Roxb. .....
In the description of A. cruentus Willd. Flora Indica notes, "The leaves are very remarkable for being concave, like a spoon, either on the upper or under side......"
The leaves of A. paniculatus in F. B. I. is 2-6 by 1-3 in. and petiole equally long.
Regards,
surajit
