A reply: "Dear all, F- Finlaysonia; H-Hemidesmus The plant list gave Hemidesmus indicus var.pubescens and H.pubescens as synonyms; but in my observation, there are some differences with Finlaysonia The F=1 bark with prominent longitudinal ridges-glabrous 2.hairs-H.dirty white to copper colored-hairs white, 3.floral buds –corolla lobes overlapping anticlock-wise- in H.it is valvate 4.flower bowl shaped-no, H. star shaped. 5. Leaves petiolate; petiole (3–)5–10 x 3–4 mm,-H.less tha 3mm; 6. blade oblong-lanceolate to narrowly lanceolate, 96–125(–154) x 12–15(–25) mm, herbaceous, sparsely scabrid- H. elliptic, coriaceous to scabrid; 46x2-3.5cm; 7. apices acute to attenuate, base rounded, rarely cuneate, margin revolute and wavy, venation brochidodromous, 15–22 secondary veins on either side of main vein,- H.base cordate; margin entire, apex emarginated with a mucro; secondary veins 6-8; 8. Corona lobes rod-shaped- H.not rod shaped; 9.Corolla margin membranous;- H. margin as thick as innerpart. Hence we need not completely honour the plant list. it needs some revision. I consider it as another variety of Hemidesmus only; which I wish to publish.
