I think Santosh ji finally got it. I can count up to 8 pairs of leaflets. Both S. spectabilis and S. bahamensis are much different with acute to acuminate leaflets, much longer than broad. Any focus on glands and fruiting twig would nail it.
Thanks Santosh ji. We were looking for it for a long time. Most Floras, especially Indian, have long been confusing S. sulphurea and S. surattensis, till Fl. China solved this confusion. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
