Thanks, Surajit ji, I will correct it based on your feedback & of others subesequently, if any. Both are shown as unresolved names in the Plant List & not menmtioned in either GRIN or The efloras. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2497702 http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2498097
We have also to find the current status of these names.
