Satish Sir, Thank you very much for the mail, i made two grave mistakes, 1) It is not *Cissampelos pareira* L., the entry in F. B. I. is *Stephania hernandifolia* Walp.<http://ia700202.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?id=floraofbritishin01hookrich&itemPath=%2F17%2Fitems%2Ffloraofbritishin01hookrich&server=ia700202.us.archive.org&page=n116_w1150.jpg>, same as in "Bengal Plants", and 2) it is "Walp."<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_botanists_by_author_abbreviation_(P%E2%80%93Z)#W>, not "Wall.".
However, i copy entry in "Bengal Plants<http://ia700605.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?id=mobot31753000237401&itemPath=%2F1%2Fitems%2Fmobot31753000237401&server=ia700605.us.archive.org&page=n214_w1150.jpg>" :- *Stephania hernandifolia* Walp.; F.
