Thanks, Pankaj ji. There seems to be some confusion w.r.t. the author citation as below: Catalogue of Life <http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/38b32c570aa39e717606a92bdc2cc7eb> (*Mussaenda pubescens *Dryand.) The Plant List Ver.1.1 <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-130563> (*Mussaenda pubescens *Dryand.) <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-130563> WCSP <https://wcsp.science.kew.org/namedetail.do?name_id=130563> ( *Mussaenda** pubescens *Dryand.) <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-130563> Flora of China <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200022166> (*Mussaenda pubescens* W. T. Aiton) Hong Kong Herbarium-HK Plant Database <http://www.herbarium.gov.hk/subpages.aspx?id=7323> (*Mussaenda pubescens* W. T. Aiton)
There is no mention of *Mussaenda pubescens* W. T. Aiton in either the The Plant List, WCSP <https://wcsp.science.kew.org/qsearch.do> or Catalogue of Life. However, synonyms given in Flora of China <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200022166> (*Mussaenda pubescens* W. T. Aiton) are the same as in Catalogue of Life <http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/38b32c570aa39e717606a92bdc2cc7eb> (*Mussaenda pubescens *Dryand.), The Plant List Ver.1.1 <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-130563> (*Mussaenda pubescens *Dryand.) & <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-130563> WCSP <https://wcsp.science.kew.org/namedetail.do?name_id=130563> ( *Mussaenda** pubescens *Dryand.) <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-130563> To further compound the problem, images in Hong Kong Herbarium-HK Plant Database <http://www.herbarium.gov.hk/subpages.aspx?id=7323> (*Mussaenda pubescens* W. T. Aiton) match with the posted plant as in Encyclopedia of Life <http://eol.org/pages/1094579/overview> (*Mussaenda pubescens *Dryand.) <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-130563> and GBIF <https://www.gbif.org/species/2892558> (*Mussaenda pubescens *Dryand.) <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-130563>also. But illustration given in Flora of China <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200022166> (*Mussaenda pubescens* W. T. Aiton) appears different.
