Dearest Garg Sir, Have a look please, for *L. ruderalis*, at the following sites -
1. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=3&taxon_id=200020714 2. *you will see a number of pics, that fit Dr. Pennell's description,*eg. - http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=109006&flora_id=800 Again, i am sorry, i do not think this is my species. Neither KEW does think all (synonyms used by Dr. Pennell) is same - 1. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2498864 2. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2498855 3. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2587063 Still, if you think Dr. Pennell is the last word then *why not take* the synonym *Stemodia muraria Roxburgh ex D. Don* ???, which is accepted as *Lindenbergia muraria (Roxburgh ex D. Don) Brühl* ??? Thanks surajit On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 10:22 AM, J.M.
