Tabish ji Pouzolzia frondosa Kuntze is based on Boehmeria frondosa, which is regarded as doubtful synonym of P. viminea in FBI Boehneria frondosa Don is considered as synonym of Villebrunea<http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242354410> <http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242354410> frutescens<http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242354410> (Thunb.) Blume in Eflora of Pakistan and *Oreocnide frutescens* (Thunb.) Miquel in eFlora of China. It has alternate, broader elliptic to ovate leaves white tomentose beneath.

Coincidently both above eFlora cite Boehmeria frondosa as synonym, but none mentions Pouzolzia frondosa, although Kuntze clearly cites Boehmeria frondosa Don. The link has to be clearly established because Pouzolzia has mostly opposite leaves and sessile axillary clusters as seen in our specimens but not in above two eFloras. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
