Garg ji, Thank you. I have got full reference at this end and access to images of all the type specimens from a number of European herbaria. Usually references of varieties are not available it net and you have to search literature for them. Initially I thought that the oblong fruits from Doddabetta should be described as a new species but now I have realized that there is no further associated difference and fruit character alone does not merit recognition of a distinct species. At this stage I came across the type specimens of Litsea zeylanica var. rigescens from the Nilgiris bearing oblong fruits. This variety has to be transferred under Neolitsea cassia. I am at present finalizing the manuscript on Neolitsea. I hope that it will be published soon and most of the confusions in Indian Neolitsea will be clarified. As regards the name Neolitsea cassia, Dinesh ji pointed out some anomalies in this name in a thread of eFI. I have written to an expert for clarification. I am trying to find out the thread and put here. Thanks and regards, Tapas.
