Thanks Rajdeo ji Not familiar with the genus Smithia, the next best thing that I did was to shortlist species of the genus with four leaflets from FBI. Having shortlisted two, I could not fit any because long bristly ciliate bracts. I was about to write to Srikant ji when your mail came.
Yes Neil ji's plant agrees well with *Geissaspis tenella* Thanks again for introducing a new genus to many of us. Thanks Neil ji for uploading it. It would be interesting to know whether the species is described in the Flora of Maharashtra. It is there in FBI from Western Peninsula.* * * * *-- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
