Gurcharan ji ... many thanks for the ID. Not clear with what is the mix-up. Am familiar with *I. carnea*, ... therefore have written that the plant being queried is growing among *I. carnea*.
Would like to know: why is *I. carnea* correctly known as I. fistulosa At NPGS / GRIN ... http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?20153 *I. carnea* has 2 subsp. *carnea* and *fistulosa* and *I. fistulosa* is put as synonym. Once again, many thanks for the ID, Gurcharan ji. Regards. On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 3:12 PM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > Dinesh ji > There is an interesting mix up.
