Thanks Garg ji for the key differences between *petiolare* and *pedunculata* . I am slightly uncomfortable ... on going through descriptions of both the species on internet, it looks like the 5 nerved leaves may not be characteristic to *E. petiolare* alone.
In my post, I am not able to see calyx lobes with prominently nerved broad dorsal wings. I think I cannot see them in any posts of *E. petiolare* in our database. I hope I am not mistaking. Regards.
