Shrikant ji If the two are synonyms then of course N. hydrophylla should be the correct because Lour. (1790) antedates Roxb (1798 or 1799) for basionym. Then of course our identifications match.
It would, however, interesting to know the date of publication BSI monograph, because both Flora of China (published 1994 onwards) and GRIN record (verified in 2006) the two are treated as distinct species. In that case above plant should be N. cristata. I am sure Tanay will do this research for us. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
