Dear Gurcharan ji,

As you know, this is another interesting but complicated (nomenclature wise) genus. The current name for this plant is P. kozhikodianus, if i am correct. The leaves are broad, glaucous beneath and the tepals are broadly scarious along margins.

Vijayasankar ji

Thanks for this new information. We were already confused about whether P. fraternus and P. amarus are distinct (if we follow GRIN) or single species under P. amarus (if we follow Kew World checklist). You have introduced another closely related species. Would you kindly list its differences from the other two species.

Thanks a lot Stephen ji, for the very useful & complete articles on Phyllanthus kozhikodianus. If possible, pl. also send us the recent work on herbaceous phyllanthus complex by R.R.Rao & al. published in 'Phytotaxonomy'. Here, the authors have tried to clarify the confusions existed in the nomenclature/identification of certain species of Phyllanthus.

Dear Gurcharan ji, at FRLHT, we produce series of educational products including posters on various themes, one among them is Phyllanthus complex. In this poster (attached here, can't help with the file size to maintain readability) we have provided pictures of common herbaceous Phyllanthus species and key characters to distinguish them. Hope this will be useful.

Thanks Vijayasankar ji for this excellent poster

This makes us wake up to re-examin our specimens we conveniently refer to P. fraternus (if perianth are 6) or P. amarus (if perianth are five). P. amarus is not common in Delhi atleast. Observing more critically I found large oval leaved plants in May June but much narrower and smaller leaved in September-October, growing at the same place. I thought them to be seasonal affect on P. fraternus. Now I feel, seeing your images, that after all our plant may not be P. fraternus, and plant growing in September-October may turn out to be different species. I will examine these critically and report back soon.
