Thanks for updating me on the species. My observations are based on the photographs / references available from the web and I do not have any books on flora(s). In this connection I wish to add that I am not a professional practicing taxonomist, though I studied taxonomy during my post-graduation decades ago. My knowledge is limited to local urban flora as I look out for the plants in my neighborhood as an hobby. My approach is not deep and can only suggest or point out to certain species, which need to be verified and authenticated by the professional taxonomist(s) in the group.
