Some how I missed this discussion. Yes this species is reported from Western and Eastern Ghats both. Orissa is exclusive distribution. But this species is still supposed to be endemic to Indi and not found outside as per my knowledge. Gender issues in names are as discussed by Gurcharan sir. Gender issue in botanical names are very technical so dont go into details. Just remember that it is "crispa" and this also emplies that all other species of this genus will end with an "a". Thanks and regards Pankaj
