Dear Dinesh Sir, Its fun, but you know, all the plant names you have provided are actually incorrect as all those names are angustifolia. Some are mistakes while some seem to be copy of the mistakes. I am not saying that there is no plant with actually, augustifolia as species epithet, just that I dont know any!! Regards Pankaj
