Dear All Yes. There is a possibility that it may be *E. nutans* Lag. However, this species has not been recorded from India so far. It is native of America, and also found in Europe and Egypt. Recently it has been recorded from Iran, which is so far its easternmost location. *E, hypericifolia* and* E. nutans* are closely similar and are very difficult to distinguish. Perhaps the two should be combined into one species, when *E. hypericifolia* has priority and should be its correct name. In many floras these two species are confused. The distinguishing characters are not clear-cut. Therefore there is need to study them in detail and find out how they differ before drawing into conclusions. I am attaching two photographs taken from some websites. This is only to show you how similar the two species are. N. P. Balakrishnan 24 June 2015
