So, the ball is again in my court! Well, Anurag ji, I ordered the book just after sending you reply-mail, in this very thread, on the 1st June, received on 8th (not because of *eriostoma* but because of *aspera*)!
The 'foreword' informs the genus is highly polymorphic, individuals of a species also show great range of morphological variations! It is really impossible for me to arrive any conclusion. Instead - - leaf 5-10 x 0.5-4 cm, veins 5-7 pairs, very oblique; flower whorls 1-2.5 cm = *eriostoma* var. *eriostoma* - leaf 2.5-4 x ?? cm, veins ?????; flower whorls 1-2 cm = *eriostoma* var. *lanata* - leaf 3-12 x 0.5-2 cm, ???????; flower whorls 1.5-4 cm = *stelligera* This much I can do!
