As per thread: Vof Week: Potentilla cuneifolia from Valley <https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/fNzWxRzwwno>, Singh ji has clarified as below:
Our plant is *Potentilla cuneifolia* Bertol (not *Potentilla cuneifolia* (Rydb.) T.Wolf) an accepted name), which was described as *Potentilla ambigua* Camb. in Flora of British India.........The new correct name for this is *Potentilla cuneata* Wall. Needless to say The Plant List seems to have bungled here also putting *P. cuneifolia* Bertol as synonym of *Sibbaldia cuneata*. The correct name is Potentilla cuneata Wall. ex Lehm.: *Potentilla cuneata* Wall. ex Lehm., ; Pugill. 3: 34 (1831). syn: *Potentilla* *cuneifolia* Bertol. (non Rydb.) T.Wolf); *P. ambigua* Camb, On 29 June 2015 at 21:38, J.M.
