I think we should follow GRIN for species which are listed (many Indian species are not) and Kew World checklist species (for families which have been ccompleted). For rest we can always develop a concensus.

Many thanks, Satish ji, for validating the ID and providing its specifics. Current accepted name would be Senna surattensis (as Tabish has already pointed earlier in this thread). How do we follow current accepted names in India ? Is there any body in India which regulates / maintains such information and knowledge ? If there is, does it imply that there would be chance that a species is known by different names across the world, at any given time ? Please respond only at your leisure. Regards.
