Dear Mr. Garg,

While going through book I came to know that

Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Wall. ex Benth.) D.Y.Hong

is found in the Western parts of Nepal only and this is rather Wulfeniopsis nepalensis (T.Yamaz.) D.Y.Hong

which is found only in Central Nepal. Even all herbarium sp. in the National Herbarium are

Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Wall. ex Benth.) D.Y.Hong from West Nepal .

I think it should be revised and my earlier post also on this sp.

Thank you.

I think keys between the two will help in separating the two.

Pl. post the keys.

Pl. see distribution of both species as per POWO:
https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:812946-1 (Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Benth.) D.Y.Hong: E. Afghanistan to W. Nepal)

https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:908228-1 (Wulfeniopsis nepalensis (T.Yamaz.) D.Y.Hong: Central Nepal)

Can you post a description of Wulfeniopsis nepalensis?

Also check with the specimens.

As there are hardly any details on the net and no specimen even in the GBIF for Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Wall. ex Benth.) D.Y.Hong, we may keep it only as Wulfeniopsis nepalensis for the time being.

Correct wordings should be:
"As there are hardly any details on the net and no specimen even in the GBIF for Wulfeniopsis nepalensis, we may keep it only as Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Wall. ex Benth.) D.Y.Hong for the time being"
