Garg Sir, Very interesting find -
- "Bengal Plants" describes only one species - *Mazus rugosus* Lour.; F. B. I. iv. 259., *Columnea tomentosa* F. I. iii. 98. - The Plant List informs *Mazus rugosus* Lour.<http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-29208335>is a synonym of *Mazus pumilus* var. *pumilus* - FoC describes *Mazus pumilus* var. *pumilus*<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=210001253>, ... flower and fruit Apr.-Oct (including other varieties<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=210001250> ). F. I. iii. 97 describes four *Columnea* species - (i) *C. balsamica* R. = "..... capsule long (capsule in this thread is globose) (ii) *C. heterophylla* = " .... floral leave sessile.... a native of Bengal, in wet places, during dry season (iii) *C. tomentosa* - "...... a native of Bengal, appearing during the cool season (iv) *C. minuta* - " .... annual spreading, four-sided" ,,,, maybe the one at - http://www.oswaldasia.org/species/l/linpu/linpu_02.jpg F. B. I. iv. 259., while describing *M. rugosus* Lour. informs, "....... Roxburgh's *Columnea tomentosa*, referred here by Bentham, can hardly be this."
