Dear Saroj ji, I agree. Phyllanthus praetervisus, though not yet recorded from Nepal, may eventually be found there. I have seen specimens from Sikkim and Bhutan. As regards P. pseudoparvifolius R.L. Mitra & Sanjappa (in Bull. Bot. Surv. India 45: 10, f. 2. 2003), it is an overlooked species and I have examined the following two specimens from Nepal (mentioned in the protologue): Nepal. Markhu, *Burkill *29651 (CAL); Without precise locality, *Scully *3 (CAL). Easiest way is to measure the leaves and see the stipules. The differences in seeds are also good.. Regards, Tapas.
