Hi Dinesh, Good question ! In the classification of Abelmoschus in his 'Flora of Maharashtra' Vol 1, Dr.Almeida also lists the following : - A.manihot - A.manihot ssp. tetraphylla - A manihot ssp. tetraphylla var. pungens - A manihot ssp.tetraphylla var.megaspermus Will take some time for me to figure this out. Meanwhile if someone else is willing to take the call ...... Regards, Neil.
