We may debate whether our specimens are correctly named under Maytenus or Gymnosporia, but one thing is quite certain Maytenus senegalensis (Lam.) Exell. and M. emarginata (Willd.) Ding Hou are two distinct species, former primarily an African species and latter S. E. Asia. Whereas K B Robson, the World authority on the Group considers Indian Gymnosporia montana as synonym of M. senegalensis, Ding Hou earlier (Fl. Males., 1962) had included Indian G. montana as synonym of M. emarginata. We can debate whether our specimens belong to which of the two species, or both occur in India, but it would be totally wrong to treat M. senegalensis and M. emarginata as synonyms. No major author has done that.
