[Satish Phadke]

It looks like Cordia dichotoma भोकर
Is Cordia myxa a synonym?
Ok....... Satish Pardeshi ji's mail says so ....checked later.
Dr Phadke

[Gurcharan Singh]

Satish ji

Cordia myxa L., and Cordia dichotoma Forst as such

The problem arose that the name C. myxa was also used for plants from India, which is same as C. obliqua Willd., a name adopted in Flora of British India. This plant is now correctly known C. dichotoma Forst. 

The plant should be cited as:

Cordia dichotoma Forst.

syn: Cordia obliqua Willd.; C. myxa auct. (non L.); C. indica Lam.; C. latifolia Roxb.

Cordia myxa L. is a distinct plant now understood to be confined to Asia minor and Egypt
