Garg Ji I have taken these photos from Plants of the World Online (POWO), a kew botanical garden site enlisting some plants.
As per flora of Pakistan, *Commicarpus stenocarpus *has lilac or Pink Puple flowers whereas in the photos attached it is white (a characteristic of *Commicarpus plumbagineus*). Moreover, the anthocarp is tuberculate which means that the anthocarp bears glands which are small projections notably without any stalks. but in *Commicarpus plumbagineus *the glands are stalked. Global plants on JSTOR explains *C. stenocarpus *anthocarp as having 3 shortly stalked or sub sessile subapically placed glands. whereas in case of *C. plumbagineus *photos attached in my mail shows almost 10 sub sessile subapically placed glands. the two plants are different and i am looking for *C. plumbagineus*. Sir, can you guide me to a person living in areas around coimbatore wher the plant has been reported?
