Looking at the descriptions and illustrations of Flora of Delhi, eFlora of Pakistan and eFlora of China, I have a feeling that our C. myxa (Lassora) may be C. dichotoma only, common in plains in North India. eFlora of Pakistan differentiates C. dichotoma from C. myxa in its narrower leaves and cuneate base, but if we have a look at illustration of C. dichotoma in eFlora of China and the photograph at FOI, the leaves are much broader and rounded at base. All our specimens may be C. dichotoma only. You may please check it further.
