Premna (Agnimanth) an important medicinal plant, also used in Dushmoolas in Ayurveda, mainly found at coastal region.. 

here i doubt in synonyms,, please also check in state floras or Indian floras to confirm that they are altogether different plant or synonyms..

Many many thanks HS.
It is possible that the synonyms may have different plant(s) erroneously listed.
It is beyond my scope to analyse the facts.
For this, a discussion would help get clarity.
You may put your understanding here to start with.

Regards.
Dinesh
