Garg ji, Such a report could be based on misidentification only. Without flowers or fruits we can distinguish A. reticulata, identifiable by the prominent minor venation of leaves on both surfaces of leaves. But here we can see obscure minor venation of the leaves, characteristic of A. longipes. Moreover, true A. reticulata is confined to the Khasi hills and reports outside Meghalaya might be misidentifications, in my opinion. The situation can be clarified decisively only when the flowers and fruits are made available.
