thank you Saroj ji
i had seen /read that wiki,
but question remains
since rhamnifolius = leaves like rhamnus

googling for" Rhamnaceae leaves"
rhamnaceae does not have any unique leaves
we get this right at the top
they can even be small flat leaves or transformed into thorns!!
i qoute....    from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhamnaceae
" Leaves of Rhamnaceae family members are simple
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_leaf>, i.e., the leaf blades are not
divided into smaller leaflets.[2]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhamnaceae#cite_note-FPSMM-2> Leaves can be
either alternate and spiraling, or opposite
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposite_leaves>. Stipules are present.
These leaves are modified into spines in many genera, in some (e.g. *Paliurus
spina-christi <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paliurus_spina-christi>*
and *Colletia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colletia> cruciata*) spectacularly so.
*Colletia* stands out by having two axillary
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axil> buds instead of one, one developing
into a thorn, the other one into a shoot.  " end quote

Does this mallotus leaf do all that?????
so wisdom of the person giving this mallotus a name perhaps had something
special in mind?

or was in a rush, and this is all he could think of..

we will never know

until someone renames it more logically and is accepted, I will have to
accept it, faults and all.

thanks
iti
