Duthie in his document Flora of Upper Gangetic Plains has also mentioned these two species and differentiate them as- Unarmed; leaves 1-3 inches long......................................................................*F. microcarpa* Spinous; leaves rarely exceeding 1 inch long ....................................................*F.leucopyrus* He has mentioned its (F.microcarpa) distribution in Bengal also. Spines in F.leucopyrus are not distributed all along the branch but slender angular branchlets ends in a sharp spine. Both of these species are mentioned growing in Kumaon but I have seen only F.microcarpa which is a small shrubby plant and resemble closely to your plant. DSRawat Pantnagar
