Thanks Garg ji. *Barleria prionitis* seems to be easily recognized by lot of members. It is *Barleria cuspidata* that poses doubt, and may need dissection to assert OR rule out. Let me see if I come across any doubtful *B. cuspidata* in coming times. I will attempt dissecting to check the sepals and style. I also hope that eFI gets more and more pictures of both these species from experts, so that it becomes easier to compare with photos. That is, if I am wanting to avoid the dissecting procedure.
