Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your help I had the doubt that it could be Z.nervosa. It is very interesting to hear that the plant shows variation from Z. nervosa. I am not sure whether , the differences are concrete enough to separate it from Z.nerrvosa. Could that be the difference due to the change in habit??? Anyway, let me dissect it out first. Now I am out of station. Get back to you soon with more details about the plant. Special thanks for the reprints of papers and figures.
