Dear Sawmliana ji,
Thanks..
This is not C. fallax... this appears to be C. affinis var. jenningsii (with the caveat that it may be a different species than C. affinis Deva & Naithani 1985)
Th sinus is very shallow, the green is a brighter shade of green. Also: the number of lateral veins branching from the central rib appears smaller than in C. fallax, the blade is more rounded, and blade lacks the striking pale blush generally seen on C. fallax.
C. fallax often has pale to dark purple colour in the petiole; I have not seen purple petioles on C. affinis var. jenningsii (but I have not seen much of this plant in the wild, so this can't be taken as a reliable general observation).
This is an important record of the plant in Mizorum!
Peter
