Respected sir Yes, the name Thrixspermum formosanum is written under Thrixspermum pygmaeum in the BSI book. But no, it doesnt mean they are synonym because there is something else written in front of the text. What it means is, "the plant mentioned by Khyanjeet Gogoi and Rajendra Yonzone in The MIOS Journal is not T. formosanum but T. pygmaeum. "auct. non." means this name doesnt belong to the original author, that was Schlechter, who synonymised the name Sarcochilus formosanus of Hayata under Thrixspermum as Thrixspermum formosanum. In simple words, BSI is saying Khyanjeet and Yonzone were wrong in identifying their plant. So currently these two names, Thrixspermum formosanum and T. pygmaeum are considered distinct and both are accepted names.
