Dear all,

It would be nice if both the posts of the plants from Palakkad (this one and an older post by Muthukumar) could be maintained together separate from the Maharashtra species (C.decipiens/C.inodora) to avoid further confusion. All the other plants under C.decipiens are the same plants posted under C.inodora and should be ideally grouped together.

Best regards

Prejith
