Not familiar with any *Osbeckia*, yet it raises my interest. The problem is - - there is one *O. crinita* Benth. ex Naudin, synonym of *O. stellata* - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242334896 - and there is one *O. crinita* Benth. ex C. B. Clarke - http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/tro-50002045 Can't say if the above two are synonymous or not. I have read Anil Ji's attached document. Descriptions of both in Flora of British India leave one confused. However, Fl. Br. Ind. referred to http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/47442827#page/176/mode/1up where the flower is purple (or pure white). I would rather go with *O. stellata* Buch.-Ham. ex Ker Gawl, as in FoC; until we get the latest revision of the genus. Thank you Regards surajit On 22 November 2015 at 20:57, J.M.
